Come on Daddy novel (Bright and Rose) novel Chapter 514

Today was the Saturday. It was a rare warm day when the sun was shining brightly.

Rose arrived early at the hospital with Doris and brought a hearty breakfast for Bright and Marley.

"Uncle Marley, here I am again." Doris, the little cutie, ran to Marley's bed, "Are you feeling better?"

Marley nodded. His bright inky eyes seemed to be saying that he felt better after seeing her.

"Marley, you look better today." Rose took the breakfast out and put it on the table.

Bright came out of the bathroom, walked over and hugged Rose gently. The warmth and tacit understanding between the couple was unmistakable.

"Now Doris sticks to Marley more than she does to me." Bright sat down on the sofa.

"Are you jealous?" Rose handed him the chopsticks, her eyes filled with laughter.

"I'm happy." Bright took the chopsticks and turned to look out the floor-to-ceiling window, "It's a nice day. I'll take Marley out for a walk at noon."

"I am going to get the wheelchair and blanket ready." Rose said.

Bright and his family spent the morning talking with Marley, reading to him. Doris showed Marley the children's songs and dances she had learned in the kindergarten.

Marley called Doris by her name with difficulty, which surprised them.

After lunch, it was the hottest of the day.

Bright did a great job of keeping Marley warm by dressing him in a down jacket and putting on a hat and gloves.

After years of being bedridden, Marley was very light. So, Bright could easily pick him up.

Marley sat down in the wheelchair. Rose then put a cashmere blanket on his legs, "So you will not be cold."

"Then let's go." Doris raised her right hand happily.

"Let's go." Bright reached out and rubbed the top of Doris' hair.

"Daddy, you mess my hair." Doris fixed her hair.

The three adults looked at the cute girl and smiled. Doris was someone who brought joy to them.

There was an artificial lake in the convalescent hospital. It was very shallow and had koi of all colors swimming in it.

There were willow trees around the lake. It was winter now. So, the willow branches were a bit gray. But there were low evergreen right bushes. Besides, the fragrant Chimonanthus were already in bloom. The golden wax plum blossoms were like little golden suns.

They circled the lake, smelled the flowers, and enjoyed the rare sunshine, breathing in the fresh air.

"Let's go inside." Bright felt a slight breeze.

Marley shook his head and said one word, "No..."

He wanted to stay a little longer to see more of the place.

He didn't want to stay in the ward all the time. He had stayed there too long.

Bright and others just sat with him on the bench by the lake.

"Marley, are you cold?" Bright pulled the blanket over his lap to cover him.

"No..." Marley could only say single words, but what he said was clear, "want to... sit..."

"OK." Bright nodded.

"You guys sit here. I'll go get some fruit." Rose then took Doris and went to get fruit.
