Chapter 1354 Extremely Frustrated
Alivia reassured her once again, “This is normal. If you could easily let go of everything right after waking up, that
would be abnormal. So, you don't have to constantly dwell on your emotions. If you're unhappy or feel like avoiding
things without knowing why, it's okay to express it in front of him. Don't feel like you have to keep those emotions
hidden and suppressed within yourself. That's just too stifling."
Her words transported Alivia's mind into a whole new space, where there was less pressure and no overwhelming
anxiety.
In this way, Evelyn was telling her that whatever emotions she had were valid and she could express them freely,
without trying to control herself rigidly.

"Of course," Evelyn nodded without hesitation, "I can't guarantee everything, but when it comes to your situation,
Bert's patience is top-notch."
Bert probably feared the most that Alivia would ignore him. This kind of treatment would truly hurt their
relationship, and over time, the rift between them would grow into an insurmountable chasm.
Instead of telling all this to Bert, it was better to talk to Alivia. At least, she was receptive now and wouldn't lose her
composure completely.
"My Mom said he's been taking care of me all this time," After saying these words, the girl lying on the hospital bed
closed her eyes.
Evelyn immediately responded, "Yes, he hardly ever sleeps whenever he comes to the hospital. He stays by your
side, watching over you. I heard from Kevin that your situation has brought him to tears several times."
Actually, Kevin had never mentioned it to Evelyn, but once she coincidentally ran into Bert coming out of the ward,
his eyes were very red, clearly indicating he had been crying.
But men are conscious of their pride, so Evelyn pretended not to notice, exchanged greetings, and left. However,
she was genuinely surprised and even amazed. How could a man shed tears for a woman unless he cared deeply?
"He's not an ordinary person. He has endured a lot of hardships and suffering since he was young, even in places
like the black market. Until now, apart from you, there hasn't been anything or anyone that could make him cry."
Not only was Evelyn surprised, but Alivia was also taken aback. When she was with Bert before, let alone crying, he
rarely showed any emotions. He always seemed indifferent as if human desires and emotions were irrelevant to
him.
Now, hearing Evelyn say that he cried because of her illness, Alivia couldn't even imagine such a scene.
Was he truly upset to the core that he shed tears by her bedside?

But how much of those tears were due to guilt, and how much of those tears were because of love, she couldn't
fathom.
Seemingly sensing Alivia's lack of confidence and doubt, Evelyn sighed gently and said, "Actually, the one thing you
don't need to worry about is his feelings for you, Alivia. I understand Bert's personality very well. If he didn't
genuinely care for you and it was merely your injury and guilt that bothered him, he wouldn't go to such lengths
personally. As long as he doesn't let you suffer materially, that should be enough."
With these words, the inner balance in Alivia's heart finally tipped to the other side. Her once unwavering
convictions were now shaken.
"If I felt that the two of you were not suitable for each other, or if you didn't love him wholeheartedly and vice
versa, I wouldn't be telling you all this. I've been through life and death trials during my time with Huston, far more
than you two have experienced. So, I can see these things clearly. If you trust me, don't shut yourself off—it won't
do any good for you."
