Bright took a tissue and dabbed at his nose. What was wrong? Why would he sneeze?
"Mr. Lee, have you caught a cold? Shall I call Dr. Matthew to check it out?" Peter was a little worried
about his health.
"No, don't worry. I am just a bit busy this period of time and a bit tired." Bright recently flew to several
cities in North America. He hadn't had enough rest. So he was tired.
"You must take care of yourself." Megan put a bowl of soup in front of Bright. "This soup is good for
your health. You should drink more of it."
"Thanks, Peter and Megan." Bright threw the tissue away. "I'll be careful."
Bright drank the soup gracefully. It tasted warm and comfortable with a hint of Chinese medicine.
"Don't you all look at me, have your dinner." Although he was cold by nature and said few words, he
showed his kindness to them by his actions.
Peter and Megan, for example, had been with him since he moved to the Ginkgo Villa ten years ago.
They took good care of him and cared for him more than his parents did.
Although they were the housekeeper and cook here, in Bright's heart, they were his family.
Instead of letting them eat alone, he ate with them, just like the family.
Peter and Megan were also grateful and loyal to Bright.
"Don't hesitate to let us know if you're uncomfortable." Peter reminded him.
"Yes, the sooner you find it, the sooner you solve it." Megan added.
"I'm really fine. I'm just tired." Bright just came back this afternoon. Now he had a headache.
"Go upstairs and have a rest. Put away the work today. Work would never be finished, just do it
tomorrow." Megan looked sadly at the tiredness in Bright's eyes.
"Yes." Bright curled his lips.
After dinner, Bright wandered around the garden before he went upstairs. He should have a good sleep
tonight.
After taking a bath, he dried his black hair and went to bed.
He glanced at his phone. It was 20:,30. It had been a long time since he'd gone to bed so early.
Suddenly Doris, whom he hadn't spoken to since his last call, came to his mind.
He wondered if Doris thought about him these days. And Rose...
He tried to call Rose, but he deleted the number he had already typed in his cell phone.
Well, forget it. Think about it tomorrow.
He put out the light and went to sleep. As he was so tired, he soon fell asleep.
In the dream, Rose and Doris were having a good time with him and even heard Doris call him
"Daddy"...
Doris, in the bedroom, was sitting on the sofa obediently. She pouted her pink lips, watching Rose
carefully.
"Why did you say that at dinner? Rose asked after ten minutes of silence.
"Didn't I tell them who handsome uncle is?" Doris pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved. "I won't let them
know even they want to. I just want to whet their appetites and make them think..."
Everyone was asking who the handsome uncle was after Doris had mentioned him at the dinner.
Of course it was Bright, but she didn't tell anyone.
"Doris, let the grownup deal with grown-ups' business. Kids stay out of it." Rose knew what was on
Doris's mind.
Everyone in the family, except grandma, had shown hostility toward her, and Doris could feel it.
She mentioned Bright only to show her family that they had a handsome uncle to rely on, and that they
were not easy to be bullied.
"Mom, I know I am a child and cannot get involved in adult things, but I love you, and don't want you to
be bullied. If handsome uncle is here, he'll protect us." In Doris's mind, Bright was the strongest man
she could rely on, "I haven't seen handsome uncle in a while. I miss him." Doris said.
Rose looked at Doris's innocent eyes and felt very sad.
"Mom, don't you miss him?" Doris blinked her eyes.
Rose shook her head.
"Really, mommy?" Doris ventured to ask again.
Rose shook her head again.
"Mommy, why do I miss him so much and you are not? Mom, you're not in love with handsome uncle."
Doris's eyes lit up as if she had discovered something new.
"When did I say I loved him?" Let alone true love. What did a little kid know?
"Handsome uncle said we can be together as soon as we become relatives. And it's not possible for
me to be with handsome uncle... I have my Dougie now. Isn't it true that only mommy and handsome
uncle can get married? So we can be a family." Doris said thoughtfully.
Words failed Rose. Doris seemed to regard Bright as her family.
"If... I mean, what if mommy and Mr. Lee become family and then find that being family is not happy
and that we have to separate?" Rose tried to put her daughter to the test.
"Not happy and get separated? But you haven't tried being family together yet. If you try and find you
are really not happy... then get separated. As long as you don't regret your decision." Doris is open-
minded.
Rose reached out and touched her head, "So you're willing to let your handsome uncle go?"
"Of course not, but I don't want mommy to be unhappy." Doris's answer was so heartwarming.
Rose held Doris gently in her arms, and she felt so warm in the heart that the tip of her nose got sour.
This was the most precious gift from God, and the angel of salvation.
And the man who was saved did not know that his savior was by his side.
Now the last trace of sadness of giving up Sky had disappeared at this time.
"You won't cry by then?" Rose smiled.
She finally let it go, and forgot the man who brought her pain.
"Well, just cry for a few days." Doris quipped.
"Eyes are not beautiful if they are swollen with crying." Rose reminded her.
"I was born beautiful. I am still beautiful when my eyes are swollen." No one was more confident than
this girl.
"How narcissistic you are."
"Mom, I miss handsome uncle. I want to call him." Doris suddenly changed the subject.
Rose stared at Doris earnestly. She was not joking.
She took the phone and checked the time, saying, "It's getting late. Your handsome uncle may already
be asleep."
"Give it a try." Doris took the phone and dialed Bright's number.
