Chapter 321 Darling, I Love You

Rose took a step back in horror and looked at Hallie on her knees in embarrassment. She did not
expect that Hallie would put down her dignity to kneel down for her daughter.

But Bright still didn't show mercy for Hallie's humble approach.

This showed that Bright really didn't take his stepmother seriously and didn't care about his father's
face.

Rose frowned and lamented.

Rose looked at Bright, who showed no expression at all, as if he was not afraid of anyone
misunderstanding him.

But it was his stepmother, and at any rate Hallie was his senior. It was not a good thing if others saw a
senior kneel down in front of a junior.

Rose stepped forward, bent down and reached over to help Hallie, trying to pull her up from the
ground. "Ms. Hallie, don't do that. Please get up."

Hallie still did not get up. She patted Rose's hand away and just looked at Bright.

"Bright, please let Zoe go. I will teach her a lesson this time, so that she will not dare to be disrespectful
to Rose. I will ask her to apologize to Rose and shut her at home. Is that OK?" Hallie threw her head
back, tears in her eyes, pleading plaintively.

"Or to punish her in a different way, but not in such a cruel way. Throwing a girl in that place will kill
her."

"I only have one daughter. Please let her go."



"But you have another son, and that's enough. This daughter isn't of much use, isn't it?" Bright said.

Hallie frowned, with deep sadness and pain on her face. "Bright, it's all my fault. If you really want to
punish her, then let me take it. But I only ask you to spare her and let her stay alive..."

With that, Hallie got up from the ground and was about to dash for the wall.

Bright knew what Hallie was up to. He just looked at her back coldly, and said with an extremely cold
tone, "Ms. Hallie, if you want to die with your daughter, I don't mind your being so impulsive."

Hallie stopped when she heard this. Her eyes closed in despair and her drooping fingers tightened at
her side.

She took a deep breath, then slowly turned around, her eyes sharp as a knife, not as soft and pitiful as
before.

"Bright, you are Francis's son, so I have that, been doing my duty in the Lee family all these years and
have never done anything to embarrass you. Why did you do this to my daughter and me?" Hallie
stopped groveling and asked Bright in a cold voice.

"Didn't you do any wrong? Did you really have a clear conscience when you entered the Lee Family?"
Bright's eyes were cold, questioning Hallie.

"Of course." Hallie answered naturally and firmly.

"My brother..."

"Your brother and I didn't know each other at all."

Hallie's face turned slightly, and she denied it for the first time. "Bright," she said, "live and let live! If
you really want to do this to Zoe, I'll have to tell your father about it and let him handle it."



"Then you can go." Bright didn't care.

Hallie couldn't be here anymore. She could feel her heart was racing.

She turned and hurried away.

When Hallie left, calm returned to the room.

Bright was relieved and leaned back. He was using all his strength to deal with the issue.

Now that the matter had been done, he was relaxed.

Rose saw the thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Darling, thank you for so protective of me." Rose raised her hand and wiped his forehead with the
sleeve of her shirt.

She knew that he didn't want her to be wronged at all and didn't want others to bully her again. That
was why he was so ruthless to Zoe.

With the example of Zoe, then no one dared to touch Rose.

"Who will protect you if not me?" Bright held her hands in his. "I'll be there for you no matter what
happened."

Rose nodded. "How would you explain to your Dad about this?"

"Don't worry about it. Just leave it to me."

Bright's eyes were fixed on her face and he saw the red mark on her left face.

Rose seemed to see something in his eyes. She got up and said, "I'll call the doctor for you."



Bright took her hand and looked at Rose, whose back was to him. "What happened to the slap mark on
your face?"

"What? Is there any...?" Rose was not good at lying. "I just got it humped by accident."

"Why didn't you hit the brain?" Bright knew she was lying at a glance, "Tell the truth."

Rose couldn't say it was his father who did it, as that would worsen their already-troubled relationship.

"I'll tell you when you see the doctor." Rose pushed his hand away.

It seemed that Bright really didn't have that much strength, so he had to let her go.

Rose called the doctor, who examined Bright and said, "He has passed the critical period now, but he
still needs time to recover from his injuries. Now he has just woken up, so he is not strong enough. He
still needs to rest and recover slowly. Mr. Lee can be transferred to an ordinary ward today."

Bright was arranged in the VIP ward, and Rose stayed with him all the time.

"What would you like to eat? Rose was peeling an apple. "The doctor says you'd better eat some liquid
food first. I'll ask my aunt to make porridge for you."

Bright just stared at Rose closely, and Rose's eyes were also on his. His soft eyes made her face hot.

She felt shy and said, "Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

"I just wanted to look at you like this." Bright's words were so sweet.

Rose's face grew redder. "Be serious."

"I'm serious, okay? I didn't really know what fear was until that day when you were caught in a fire.
Something fell on me after I threw you out of the house. The moment I passed out I was really afraid I



would never see you again." There was fear in Bright's eyes that she had never seen before.

"I didn't think I'd ever open my eyes and see you again. Rose, I love you."
