With her eyes closed, Rose had quietly waited Zoe's slap, but it did not come.
Instead, she heard Zoe cry out weakly, "Brother..."
Rose seemed to have got a thunderbolt. She opened her eyes suddenly at Zoe and Bright, who was
holding Zoe's arm to stop her.
They had no idea when he woke up or when he came to stop Zoe.
Rose stared at Bright so closely that her eyes, which had been calm and indifferent, began to waver
with joy and worry.
"How could you get up?" Rose rebuked him.
Did he rip off all those instruments for her? He just woke up and got off bed. Was he strong enough to
do this?
"Brother..." Zoe was afraid to look at Bright and lowered her head.
Bright grabbed Zoe and threw her to the ground. "Zoe, do you want to die?" he asked.
Bright was just recovering from his severe injury. His face was as white as paper, and his lips was pale,
making him look weak.
Although he was sickly, it did not reduce his powerful aura. His fierce eyes made Zoe feel as if she had
been sentenced to death.
This made Rose feel a little distressed, "You just woke up, I'll call the doctor for you."
Rose did not want him to teach Zoe a lesson for her. After all, there were still plenty of opportunities to
deal with Zoe. Now, his health was more important.
"No, I'm not that weak." Bright grabbed Rose as she was leaving.
"Brother, she... it was because of her that you got injured, and Dad had passed out because of her.
She even slapped me... I was just angry, so I wanted to teach her a lesson..." Zoe defended herself.
"She's my wife, and it's not your turn to teach her a lesson." Bright reached out and wrapped Rose in
his arms.
Rose could feel that Bright was weak, and his breathing was a little short.
Though he was holding her, he took the opportunity to lean against her for support.
Rose stood up, with one arm holding around his strong back.
"Last time you hurt my daughter, and this time you bullied my wife... Zoe, is it because you didn't learn
the lesson last time? Or is it because you thought me as a dead man ad you don't mind my words?
Bright was enjoying being in Rose's arms right now.
"Brother..."
"You don't deserve to call me that." Bright immediately interrupted her, "Don't ever call me brother
again."
"Bro..."
"Shut up!" sapped Bright.
Zoe, who fell to the ground, shuddered at the roar, and sobbed with fear.
No matter whether she pretended to be pathetic or was really pathetic, she could not move Rose, nor
could she soften Bright's attitude.
"Call Bill and tell him to get here right now!" Bright said to Rose, "Give me your cell phone."
"Let me help you sit down." Rose helped him sit on a chair.
She faced him and frowned as she looked at his pale face, "Let's talk about it later. Let the doctor
check you first."
"I know myself well. It has to be dealt with right now. I can't wait a second." Bright shook Rose's hand,
showing his determination, "I can't stand having a dangerous person like her around you, not even one
second!"
"Give me the phone."
Rose turned her head and looked at Zoe on the ground. The latter looked at Rose with begging eyes
and shook her head gently to ask Rose not to do it.
"It's no use asking for help now." Bright himself reached into Rose's trouser to dig for her cell phone.
Just then, Bill appeared at the door of the hospital room, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Mr. Lee..."
"Get here!"
Bill had barely spoken two words before he was scolded.
"Mr. Lee, are you awake?" Bill's face was full of smiles, but when he looked at Bright's pretty black
face, he got nervous. He knew that something was going to happen. "That's great. I can't feel relieved
now. Mr. Lee and his wife are here. I'm going to tell them the good news so they won't worry."
Bill was about to rush away, but he was stopped before he could get away. "How about getting to the
Sahara instead?"
"Mr. Lee... Isn't this a big joke?" Bill wiped his sweat and still smiled. "Even ghosts can't live there, let
alone me."
"Then just be a ghost," Bright said coldly.
"Mrs. Lee..." Bill turned to plead Rose.
Rose reached out and gently tugged at the corner of Bright's hospital gown as a plea.
"What the hell are you doing?" Bill said disdainfully, "I asked you to take care of Rose. It that how you
take care of her?"
"I... I went to see what is going on with Mr. Lee." Bill felt like he had neglected something, so he ran
back, but it was too late. "I'm willing to be punished, but can you not send me to the Sahara?"
"All right, then send her there." Bright glanced at Zoe on the ground and showed no mercy.
Zoe was petrified at that time. She did not want to go to that ghostly place.
She was only twenty, and she didn't want to end her youth there!
"Mr. Lee, really?" Bill frowned softly.
Although he didn't dare question Bright, Zoe was Hallie's daughter and Francis's stepdaughter, so he
had to think twice about it.
"You couldn't bear to send her there? Then you send yourself there. I'll find someone else to do that."
Bright picked up his cell phone and started to call someone.
"Mr. Lee, I am at your service. Why bother others, right? I promise to finish the job." Bill had to take the
job, even if Francis blamed it for him, he had no way out. He would only listen to Bright.
Bill then made a phone call and said, "Bring someone to take Miss Zoe away."
After Zoe heard this, she could not stand it anymore. She crawled all the way to Bright's feet and
tugged at the corner of his pants, but Bright shook her off with disgust in his eyes.
"Bro..."
Bright's fierce eyes swept over her, like the chilly wind in December, making her freeze.
"Please, don't do this to me," she said, "I really didn't mean to do it, please..."
Zoe kept begging, but Bright still did not change his mind.
Seeing that Bright didn't look at her, Zoe turned to Rose. For her own sake, she gave up even the
dignity and begged for the person she hated the most.
