Family? Yeah. Rose had been accepted by the Lee family and become a member of it since Bright took
her to see Francis and Hallie.
She felt that the Lee family was warmer than the Linder family. She felt the true love from Bright's
parents.
She had thought Francis and Hallie would have a problem with her after something happened to Zoe.
But now, it seemed she gauged their hearts with her own mean measure.
Francis had gone through so much. His experience and mind would not be so narrow.
"Thanks, Dad." Rose's eyes were wet again.
"Dad, I'll make all the arrangements." Bright replied.
"Make sure you make all the arrangements, so that nothing will happen to your Grandpa." Francis
admonished some more before he was relieved.
They went to the ward to see Wilfred. Then, Francis and Hallie left first.
Chandler was also about to leave. After all, Wilfred never recognized him as his son-in-law. If Wilfred
saw him after waking up, he might be angry and sick.
"You go first. I'll wait here until my father wakes up." Joy didn't know what was wrong with her father
until now. But she was uneasy after seeing what happened.
"Then call me if you need anything." Chandler said.
"Mom, you'd better go with Dad. You can't help much by staying here." Rose, however, urged Joy to
leave, "It's enough to have Bright and me here. Or it would be stifling for Grandpa."
"Rose, can you tell me what's wrong with your Grandpa?" Joy just saw that her father was haggard and
lost a lot of weight.
"You haven't cared about grandpa for so many years. So, don't pretend to care about him now." Rose's
face was cold, "Whether Grandpa is dead or alive has nothing to do with you."
"Rose, it was your Grandpa and Grandma who disowned me first. I did not want to leave them behind."
It was not the first time Joy defended herself, "I have always thought of them in my heart and
remembered them. After all, I am their only daughter."
"Have you forgotten how Zach died?" Rose mentioned the name Joy didn't want to hear at all.
Chandler also looked at Joy. He did not know Zach.
"Rose… " Joy pursed her lips for a moment, "that's his own choice."
Seeing that Joy was not guilty at all and shirking her responsibilities, Rose was really shocked. How
could there be such a cold and heartless people in the world?
She just sneered coldly, "Even if you stay here and wait for Grandpa to wake up, he may not want to
see you. You'd better go."
Joy bit her lip and wanted to say something. But seeing Rose look away and not want to pay attention
to her, she bit back the words she would like to have said.
"Then I'll go first." Joy was embarrassed and walked away with her head down.
"Bright, Rose, call us if there is anything." Chandler said before leaving.
Bright nodded lightly.
Then, only Nora, Jane and William were here.
Nora gently took Rose's hand, "Are you okay?"
Naturally, she was referring to the relationship between Rose and her parents, which looked extremely
poor.
"I've been through the hardest time. I am okay." Rose was very relaxed, "You guys go back too. You
don't have to stay here with me."
She thanked her close friends for coming. But this was her family business. She needed to deal with it
on her own.
Then Rose sent Nora and Jane and William off.
Jane, who was always lively, hadn't said a word today. It seemed that something was on her mind.
"What's wrong with you?" Rose asked her softly, "You had a hard time yesterday. Did not you rest well?
Go back and have a good rest, and then let Nora take you around to relax."
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Take care of yourself." Jane said with a smile.
Rose looked to William again, "William, I have just invited you and Jane in City Y. she's a girl. Please
help me take care of her."
"OK." William responded.
"No need. I can take care of myself." Jane, however, was a bit anxious and seemed to want to keep
William at a distance.
Rose didn't notice it and looked to Nora, "Nora, I will leave Jane and William to you. Take care of them
for me."
"Don't worry. Your friends are my friends." Nora promised, reassuring Rose.
As Rose sent her friends off, Bright came to the doctor.
"Dr. Liu, how is my Grandpa?" Bright wanted to know Wilfred's condition first to prepare himself, hoping
that he could bear more for Rose, "Please tell me the truth."
Dr. Liu frowned and was serious, "Mr. Bright, Mr. Wilfred's disease is somewhat rare. It's not easy for
him to survive now. Please be prepared. I'm really sorry for not being able to help you."
"It's not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself." Bright was rational, "Can he have an operation
now? Is he more likely to survive if he has an operation?"
"If he has an operation now, there is still hope. But he can only live a little longer, about a few months to
a year. But Mr. Wilfred is so old after all. His health is not as good as young people, and his condition is
complicated and getting worse.
I am afraid that there will be accidents during the operation. Even if there are no accidents during the
operation, the critical period after the operation will also test him... Operation is risky. As his family, you
must think it over. I will fully cooperate with you."
"OK." Bright said after a pause, "If my wife asks about my Grandpa's condition, you can tell her about
it. I will also tell her the truth."
After instructing the doctor, Bright left the doctor's office.
Bright walked back to Wilfred's ward with a heavy heart. He didn't know how to make a choice or how
to tell Rose about Wilfred's true condition.
When he returned to Wilfred's ward, he saw that Rose had returned from her drop-off and was sitting
there talking to Wilfred who was still unconscious.
"Grandpa, I'll be here with you all the time. I know the first person you want to see when you open your
eyes will be me." Rose pressed Wilfred's hand to her face, her long eyelashes silky and wet, "Grandpa,
don't make me wait too long, or I'll fall asleep too."
"You make so much noise. Grandpa won't sleep long." Bright walked to her and stood beside her,
teasing.
"Where have you been?" Rose wiped the corners of her eyes quickly and turned to look at him, "Don’t
make fun of me."
"I just want you to be happy." Bright hugged her.
"Is Grandpa... okay?" Rose leaned against his lower abdomen and wrapped her arms around his lean
waist.
