Chapter 269 Fainting from High Fever

Bright heard only anxious cries the moment before he fainted. "Mr. Lee... Mr. Lee..."

When Bill saw Bright lying on the ground, he quickly said, "Hurry up and call 120... Give me a hand and
carry Mr. Lee to the lounge. If anything happened to Mr. Lee, we'll all be held accountable!"

Everyone started making phone calls, and some helped carry Bright.

After 120 came, Bright was sent to People's Hospital while Bill and Masie accompanied him all the way.

Bright woke up more than two hours later and saw himself lying in a snow-white ward with Bill standing
guard.

"Mr. Lee, are you awake? Do you want to drink water? Or are you hungry?" When Bill found out that
Bright was awake, he quickly asked.

Bright was still a little weak at this time, and his face was pale. "What's wrong with me?"

"Mr. Lee, you fainted," Bill said to him, "You have a high fever of 39.2 °C. Don't you know?"

It turned out that he had a fever. No wonder his body temperature was slightly high in the morning, but
he did not care. After all, he exercised regularly and was fit. It was rare for him to catch a cold, let alone
a fever.

Unexpectedly, he was actually ill this time. It was a high fever, which proved the saying that sickness
comes on horseback.

Bright wanted to sit up, so Bill gave him a hand and placed a pillow behind him.

"The doctor told me that drinking warm water can detoxify." After hearing Bright cough, Bill poured
water for him.



Bright took the warm water, blew it, and took a few sips.

"Mr. Lee, I called Mrs. Lee, but her phone was turned off... I couldn't find her for the time being." Bill felt
that he was also becoming more and more useless, and it was because of Mrs. Lee every time.

"No need to call her." Bright put the cup on the bedside table. "She is gone."

"Gone? Where did she go?" Bill asked in confusion.

"Don't mention her in the future." Bright glared at him with displeasure.

Bill shut his mouth obediently and felt that he was always the unlucky one whenever his boss argued
with his wife.

"Go through the discharge procedures. I have to be discharged." Bright could not lie there calmly.

As soon as he stopped, he would think about Rose. He needed to keep himself busy and feel
paralyzed so he could forget about her "ruthlessness".

"Mr. Lee, you still have a high fever. Besides, the doctor said that you have to be hospitalized for
observation for at least three days to make sure you don't get pneumonia..." Bill dared not finish his
words with "you'll get brain damage from fever". "Mr. Lee, please cooperate with the doctor."

"It's just a high fever. I can't die from it. I said that I have to be discharged from the hospital, so go do
it!" Bright insisted.

Bill stood still and did not want to be held accountable.

"If you don't go, then I'll go." Bright reached out and pulled out the needle from the back of his hand.

"Mr. Lee, you can't..."



Bright did not listen to Bill's advice at all. He lifted the quilt and got up. But the moment he stood up, his
feet became weak, and he almost knelt on his knees.

Bill hurriedly supported him to sit on the bed. "Mr. Lee, there is no shame in being ill. You just need to
treat it."

Bright gave Bill a sideways glance, but Bill persisted, "Even if you don't want to be hospitalized, you
have to finish the IV therapy before you leave. Otherwise, you'll faint again if you leave in your current
state."

"When you fainted in the conference room, you frightened everyone. Chairman Lee probably heard
about it to some degree. You don't want him to come to City H to visit you, right?"

Bright did not want to faint again. This was a risk given his current condition, so he compromised.

Since Bright did not speak, Bill guessed that he acquiesced.

"Then I'll ask the nurse to give you an IV again." Bill rang the bell on the bedside.

After a while, a nurse came and saw the hanging needle. "What happened?"

"It was an accident," Bill said, "Please give him an IV again."

"Be careful next time."

Bright lay back on the bed, and the nurse put the needle in him again.

After three hours of IV, Bright was finally free and left the hospital, but he needed to return the next day
for IV therapy.

Sophie, who stood on the stairs at the entrance of the hospital, came for a pregnancy check-up today.
Just as she left the hospital, she saw Bright getting in a car and leaving.



She looked at the car's shadow in the distance and squeezed her fingers. Her misfortune was all
because of Bright and the bitch, Rose!

She could not accept it and would not accept it.

Now that she had been kicked out of the Tanner family, and the scandal between her and Timothy
spread on the Internet and was known by everyone. She already became an object of the upper class'
derision.

She could no longer threaten the Tanner family and Sky to accept her. Ever since she was driven out of
the Tanner family, it had been more than a month since she last saw Sky.

She missed him, missed him very much. She wanted to return to his side but could not get close to
him.

Sophie took a car back to a community. This was a place that Joy rented for her, which was the last
kindness she would receive.

She was not accepted by not only the Tanner family, but also the Linder family.

Life was worse for her than it was for Rose at that time.

Rose... Rose... Rose...

Sophie looked at the ordinary two-bedroom house, at the clothes she wore which were from a year
ago, and at this place that was smaller than her old bathroom. She felt like a disgusting rat.

But Rose was the noble Mrs. Lee. She had a luxury car, a VVIP card, endless new clothes, endless
money... She was going to go crazy from jealousy and hatred.



Sophie poured the water in her hand into her mouth fiercely and then placed it heavily on the coffee
table.

She wanted to return to her once-glamorous life. She wanted everyone to look at her with envy. She
wanted to hold Sky's arm and walk with her back straight.

"Sophie, thank you for staying true to me. Thank you for allowing me to be reborn."

"Sophie, marry me as my bride and stay with me forever, okay?"

"Sophie, I only like you. You are my only Mrs. Tanner."

"Sophie, even if we don't have children, we'll be together until we are old."

...

It felt like it was just yesterday when he said those words to her. She remembered every word and
every word she had said to him.

Sophie thought of the bits and pieces that had happened when she was with Sky. She was so happy,
and their relationship was so sweet. But now she was left with bitterness and pain that she could not
bear.

She really missed him, really wanted to hear his voice.

She was picked her phone and dialled the number that she had memorized by heart.

She held her phone and as she listened to the sound of music, her heartbeat kept increasing until the
other party answered the call. "Hello, I am Sky."

The sound of "Hello" made her throat tighten as hot tears fell.



She opened her mouth, so excited that she could not make a sound for a while.

"Who are you? If you don't speak, I'll be hanging up." Sky heard no response from the other end of the
line.

"Don't... don't hang up," Sophie hurriedly said when Sky was about to hang up.
