Bright's eyes met Rose's expectant gaze. He put his hands on her shoulders, "The most important thing is that I wasn't around to take care of you when you were pregnant and gave birth to Doris. I wasn't involved in Doris' growth, leaving her without a father for so many years. I feel so sorry and guilty."
"Doris' birth was an accident. As her parents, we owe it to her. I think we can have another child this time, who will be born in our expectation and love. I will be with you and watch him be born, and do what a husband and a father should do. I want to make up for the regret."
"It was my fault to scheme against you back then. I let Doris lose too much and carry too much. So, I hope we can love her with all our hearts. If we have another child, then we'll have to give him a part of our love for Doris. Wouldn't that be unfair to Doris?"
Rose didn't want to divide their love for Doris.
"Why? They're both our children. We all love them." Bright stroked her soft hair, "The past is over. Don't blame yourself anymore."
"But I'm afraid when Doris knows that we will have another child, she might think it's because she is not good, or we don't love her anymore. I don't want her to think that way." Rose was torn.
"We'll tell her the situation and tell her that Mommy and Daddy love her no matter what. I also don't want her to be hurt anyway." Bright thought Rose was worrying too much, "Then let's ask Doris if she wants a brother or sister. If she does, we'll listen to her."
Rose could no longer find a reason to refuse and escape, "Let's talk about it later."
"Mrs. Lee, you're so evasive." Bright stopped pushing her hard and let nature take its course.
Bright and Wilfred were discharged from the hospital together and returned to Asgard Lake Community.
Rose stayed with Wilfred, while Bright and Bill went upstairs and into the study.
"How's it going with Timothy?" Bright sat on the couch.
"Mr. Bright, Timothy still hasn't disclosed that Sophie is behind the scenes." Bill stood quietly there, looking down in fear.
Bright narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted, "He's really stubborn."
"So what should we do now?" Bill was waiting for Bright's instructions.
"Tell me about Sophie's latest situation." Bright had just reached for the kettle when Bill had picked it up and poured water for him first.
He picked up the glass of water and respectfully handed it to Bright. Bright took a sip and looked at him.
"Mr. Bright, Sophie is not only intact, but also has been taken to his place by Sky. Sky comes home on time from work every day, while Sophie is at home. They seem to have made up." Bill reported the situation briefly, but had doubts inside.
