Chapter 317 He Can&##x27;t Be the Second Marley

During the three days when Bright was in a coma, Rose and Bill were tormented. They were afraid that
they would fail to attain their hopes and there would be any accident.

Bright had not woken up. Although Sophie seemed calm on the surface, her mind was in turmoil.

As long as she was free, she would stay outside Bright's ward and looked at him through the glass
window, his face as pale as paper. He was lifeless.

Bright was so quiet that he looked like he was asleep.

"Bright, I know you must be very tired. But please do wake up, even for a second or two. Even if you
can open your eyes to see me before going to sleep, it will be good. Bright..." Rose bit her lip and
looked down, her eyes full of sadness. "I'm really scared..."

At that moment, a mess of footsteps came. Rose turned around and saw Francis and Hallie coming in
a hurry, followed by Stefan, Zoe, and Bill.

"Dad..." Just as Rose turned around and called out, a crisp slap sounded.

Francis' action was so fast that it caught people off guard. He hit Rose and tilted her head. Her hair was
messy over her face.

It hurt so much that Rose felt that the pain spread on her face like the fire three days ago.

"Francis, why do you hit Rose?" Hallie also did not expect Francis to do this as soon as he came.

"As Bright's wife, she let Bright risk his life. Bright disregarded life and responsibility and acted
recklessly. He hurt himself and made his parents worry. The Lee family is nothing in his eyes!" Francis
was now all in a rage.



Francis took two more steps closer. Seeing his best son lying there like a lifeless puppet, he was
heartbroken.

"Francis, you are not in good health. Don't be angry. God blesses good men. Bright will definitely wake
up. Don't worry." Hallie held Francis and kept caressing his back.

"How can I not worry? Back then, you also said Marley would wake up. Then, he has been lying there
for so many years. Now, Bright is also like this. How can I not get angry?" Francis had lost one
excellent son. He didn't expect his other son to make the same mistake again.

Francis now was not angry, but furious and shocked.

"If you end like Marley ... what should I do?"

Faced with Francis' question, Hallie fell silent. She also did not know how to comfort Francis.

"Dad, Ms. Hallie, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I caused Bright to suffer so badly." Rose lowered her head in
front of Francis and blamed herself, "If you can vent your anger by beating me and scolding me, feel
free to do so. I don't mind. I also hope Bright can wake up soon."

"What's the use of beating and scolding you?" Francis smiled bitterly, "What I want is my son standing
in front of me intact!"

"Dad, I'm sorry ... " Rose could understand Francis' feelings, "I believe Bright will wake up. He is so
young and has someone he can't let go of. He also has his responsibilities. He is not an escapist. He
will bravely face these. We must believe that he can wake up."

In fact, Rose was not confident while saying these words. But she hoped things to go as she said.

"Come on. Stop saying sugared words." It was Zoe who interjected, "It's all your fault. Bright has been
so spirited. But you caused him to lie here dying. You're a plague. Bright will be unfortunate as long as



he has anything to do with you…"

"Zoe, shut up!" Hallie scolded her daughter for her words, "She is your sister-in-law."

"She caused Bright to be like this. She does not deserve the title!" After what happened last time and
this time, Zoe was even more disgusted with Rose.

"Miss Zoe, it's not up to you whether Ms. Rose deserves it or not." Bill said lightly, "She is Mr. Bright's
legal wife. I don't think Mr. Bright would like to see you treat his wife with such disrespect."

"Bill, you're defending her so much. Do you like her?" Zoe gave them a searching look.

"Miss Zoe, as a man, I am not afraid of it. But please stop talking nonsense. It will damage Ms. Rose's
reputation." Bill reminded Zoe, "If Mr. Bright wakes up and knows it, I don't have to tell you the
consequences."

"And Mr. Bright asked me to take care of Ms. Rose. So, I have to do it."

Today, seeing that Bright had not woken up, Bill thought that it was necessary to tell Francis about it.
So, Francis and the other just came by private plane.

Bill was afraid that if there was any accident ... he could not afford the consequences.

After all, Francis was Bright's real father and had the right to know all this. Although Bill had also
thought Rose would be blamed, he did not expect Zoe to talk such nonsense.

Zoe trembled lightly, thinking of how cold and heartless Bright had been to her last time.

"I'm thinking about Bright." Zoe was stubborn and reluctant to admit her mistakes.



"Zoe, Bright is still lying there. Is it appropriate for you to blame Rose now?" Stefan pulled Zoe,
"Besides, Rose didn't want this to happen. She is Bright's wife. She suffers as much as we do."

"Who do you support?" Zoe shook off Stefan's hand, disgruntled.

"We're a family. I don't support anyone." Stefan made his stand clear and showed great unity.

"You… You're trying to piss me off." Zoe bit her lip and glared at him, retorting in a low voice, "She
caused Bright to be hurt so badly. How can she be a member of the Lee family?"

Rose didn't want to argue with Zoe. After all, it was not the right time and place.

But she had to say something, "Zoe, I am Bright's wife. No matter in law or in name, I am a member of
the Lee family. Even if you don't admit it, it doesn't matter because I don't care about your opinion. All I
care about is Bright."

Zoe did not answer. But it could be told from her expression that she was satirizing Rose's
shamelessness.

"Rose, of course you are a member of the Lee family. No one can deny it." Stefan was a warm-hearted
boy, "I welcome you."

"Thank you, Stefan." Rose thought Stefan was more reasonable.

"Stop it. It is not the time to recognize family." Zoe resented that Stefan was always against her, "Dad,
Mom, Bright is..."

"Call the doctor. I can't let my son just stay asleep like this. He has to wake up." Francis was distraught,
"Bright can't be the second Marley."



Francis was dizzy just as he got up from the chair. Then, he fell back into the chair and had a
blackout...

"Francis, don't scare me…"

"Dad... Dad ... "
