Come on Daddy!

Chapter 513 Domestic Shame Should Not Be Made Public

Although there were tears in Marley's eyes, he smiled more deeply. He liked Doris from the bottom of his heart.

Maybe because they were related by blood, Marley felt like Doris was his own daughter, even though it was just the first time they met.

He kept looking at Doris' small pink face and watery eyes.

"Uncle Marley is not crying. He is happy and likes you." Rose told Doris gently.

"I like Uncle Marley too," Doris bent over the bed and stared at Marley's straight nose, "Uncle Marley, I won't rush you. I'll play with you anyway. So, don't you cry. Mommy and Daddy say that it is ashamed for children to cry, so are adults."

Marley was amused by Doris' childish words.

Doris then poked her head and kissed Marley on his thin cheek, "Uncle Marley, although no beautiful princess kisses you, there is someone so lovely kisses you. Please stop crying, or you won't look handsome."

Marley froze slightly after being kissed by Doris. Then, his eyes were full of laughter.

He opened his mouth to speak brokenly with difficulty, trying to praise that Doris was the most beautiful princess.

With Doris in the room, the whole ward was filled with laughter. Marley was so happy that the laughter eased all worries.

Rose and Doris had dinner with Bright and Marley before leaving the hospital.

When they left, Doris was loath to part with Marley and said she would visit him again.

Seeing his brother's daughter in his lifetime and knowing that he had such a lovely niece, Marley had been satisfied and happy.

In the evening, after Marley rested, Bright moved his laptop and files to the ward's parlor and began to work.

He first checked the emails. A doctor had replied to him. What he said was almost the same as the doctors here said. Even though it was a euphemistic way of speaking, what he meant was that Marley could hardly survive.

Bright had a headache. He leaned back into the sofa, closed his eyes, and raised his hand to rub his temples.

Was there really no hope?

This joke from God was too cruel.

Even Bright, who had experienced a lot, could hardly accept it.

He kept silent for a long time before starting to work. He was not sleepy at all. When he finished the work in hand. It was already at 2:00 a.m.

He had thought his crazy work would make him tired and fall asleep quickly.

However, he was still awake. But he had to rest, or he could not be spirited enough to stay with Marley during the day.

Bright spent a week in the hospital with Marley, during which the most frequent visitors were Bill and Rose, and Francis.

Francis knew nothing about Marley's condition and was still hoping his son would get better.

Bright did not dare to tell Francis the bad news, fearing that Francis could not stand this blow at such an old age and in such a bad condition.

This day, Serena came. She wore a scarf to cover the part below her nose. But Bright still noticed the bruise at the corner of her mouth. There were also bruises at the corners of her eyes that had not completely faded.

"What's with the bruises on your face?" Bright asked as he sent Serena out of the room.

Serena subconsciously raised her hand to touched the corners of her mouth, "I accidentally hit it when I went to the bathroom at night. I'm fine."

Bright's eyes fell on Serena's wrist, where a bruise was conspicuous on her fair skin.

He grabbed her wrist and pushed her sleeve up. There were a lot of deep and light bruises on the arm.

Serena tried to withdraw her arm, but Bright held it tightly and wouldn't let go.

He frowned slightly, staring at Serena's frightened face, "Did you also accidentally hit these?"

Bright let go of her one and reached over to pull up her other hand to check it, which also had many bruises.

"What the hell is going on here?" Bright pressed her, "Who bullied you? The Kim family? Or your husband's family?"

The last time Bright saw Serena, he had thought she had something on her mind. But he didn't expect it would be something like this.

Serena looked down, not daring to look at Bright's angry face, and just straightened her sleeves.

"Do you think I can't know if you don't say anything?" Bright was angry with her silence, "Marley just asked me to take good care of you. If he knew you were being bullied like that, he wouldn't stand by and do nothing. Serena, sometimes concealing the truth is condoning others to continue to hurt you."

Serena looked down. Tears rolled down her face, "It is... my husband."

"Who exactly did you marry?" Bright still didn't know who her husband was.

"The Simpson family of City L," Serena bit her lip.

"The dissolute Foray of the Simpson family?" It was the only one Marley could guess.

Serena acquiesced by not speaking.

"Are you happy now?"

Serena shook her head, "Who cares an illegitimate daughter like me? Do I deserve to be happy?"

"Don't belittle yourself. You just married the wrong person. Everyone has the right to be happy. It's up to you if you're willing to fight for it." Bright comforted her, "Do you have any plans? I can help you."

"I want to get a divorce. But neither the Simpson family nor the Kim family will agree." Serena wasn't confident in her heart, "I've mentioned it before. But all I got in return was more torture."

"Although it is not good to destroy other's marriages, you may not want such a marriage. If you are determined, leave everything to me and I will do it." Bright also could not bear to see Serena deeply hurt like this and unable to get rid of the two families.

"I've thought it over. I want a divorce." Serena's tone and her eyes were firm.

"OK." Bright nodded, then called his personal lawyer and asked him to receive Serena tomorrow to talk about the details of the divorce.

After the call, Bright explained the situation to Serena and told her to see Mr. Myles at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, "Don't worry. Mr. Myles is experienced in dealing with divorce cases. I won't let you be tortured by them anymore."

"Bright, thank you." Serena's eyes were filled with tears in gratitude.

"You're welcome. I'd like to thank you for coming to see Marley. He's very happy." Bright thought that Serena might be the only one among these people who remembered Marley.

"I can't do anything for him. I can only see him and talk to him." Marley was Serena's god she looked up to in her heart, "By the way, did you find that person?"

Bright knew who Serena was referring to. But he shook his head, "Marley woke up and didn't want to find him. Besides, Marley did lose his footing and fell." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

As the saying goes, domestic shame should not be made public. Even if he held a grudge against Hallie, he had a sense of propriety and knew what to say and what not to say.
