Chapter 1077 A Considerate Daughter
The second day after returning home, Alivia went directly to the hospital. Since Bert's surgery funds had arrived,
Romy's surgery was promptly scheduled. The recovery after the surgery was going well, and Romy was now
undergoing daily rehabilitation.
During the time Alivia was away in another country, Romy thought Alivia was on a business trip. She missed her
daughter and was concerned about Alivia, but she didn't want to interfere with Alivia's work. Now that she saw
Alivia back, she couldn't help but become emotional and teary-eyed.
"Alivia, when did you come back?" Romy sat up on the bed all of a sudden, holding Alivia's hand tightly.
Alivia was moved, looking at her mom's relatively good complexion, she felt relieved, "Mom, I came back yesterday.
I visited home first and had a chat with Henry before coming here. How is everything going with you?"

told me yesterday that if there are no unexpected issues in next week's check-up, I can be discharged."
"Really?" Alivia was overjoyed, "I haven't seen Doctor Moll yet. I'll go and ask him later."
"Truly," Romy assured Alivia, noticing the tiredness on her face, and as a concerned parent, she said, "You've been
taking care of me and your brother all these years. Now that I'm getting better and won't need to stay in the
hospital anymore, we can save some money. I can also go back to work and help with the expenses. The burden on
your shoulders will be lighter."
"Mom, what are you saying?" Alivia scolded her playfully, giving her a slight glare, "You're my mom, and taking care
of you is my duty. There's no need to think about it that way. You just focus on getting better quickly, and I'll be at
ease with Henry!"
Their conversation caught the attention of Cindy, the lady in the neighboring bed, who looked over with envy,
"Romy, you're really blessed to have such a considerate daughter. She's even more capable than a son!"
Despite being younger, Alivia had been taking care of her mom tirelessly due to her illness, without ever
complaining. Other patients in the ward praised her for being an exceptional daughter. Now that Romy's health had
improved, they were all happy for her.
Hearing the compliments, Romy felt even happier. She smiled kindly and said, "Yes, having such a caring daughter
is the greatest blessing of my life."
They hadn't seen each other for quite some time, and Romy had many things she wanted to talk to Alivia about.
They continued their conversation until it was time for lunch. Now that Romy's health had improved, Alivia decided
to accompany Romy to the cafeteria to get some food, as a way to stretch
Romy's legs.
After knowing the time of the meal, the canteen was almost crowded. Alivia ordered two bowls of Millet Porridge, a
Garlic Buttered Broccoli, a Tomato and Egg Stir-fry, and Sweet and Sour Pork. They carried the thermos back. On

the way back, Romy took Alivia's arm and asked lightly, "Alivia, what did you do abroad before? Are you tired?"
At that time, she got injured accidentally and went abroad very suddenly. It was not until she arrived in Eoland that
she contacted Romy.
Recalling the past, Alivia's eyes dimmed, "It was just a project, nothing technically challenging. The main reason for
going abroad was the financial subsidy. Many people couldn't afford to leave their families, so I went."
"Then what's your arrangements since you came back?"
Arrangements?
Somehow, Alivia thought of the last time she had dinner with Bert. That encounter was probably their last, and the
chances of meeting again in the future were almost non-existent.
She lowered her gaze and replied in a subdued voice, "It wasn't a good fit for me, so I resigned."
"That's understandable," Romy patted Alivia's hand gently, "Alivia! After my condition improves and I get discharged
next week, you should think about your own future. Dropping out of college when you were in your sophomore year
has always been a concern for me. Now that our financial situation is not so pressing, you should consider going
back to continue your studies."
