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.
