Chapter 1087 I Will Hold On
Alivia, who had been seen through by Bert, felt a burning sensation on her face but denied it with her words,
"Everyone has their own way of dating, and besides, you're not my boyfriend!"
Her words fell on his pants, and Bert snorted, pulling her away from his lap. Alivia immediately turned her gaze to
the window.
The man's faint voice came from beside her, "He has gone a long time ago."
Alivia breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door without hesitation, "I'm leaving. See you on the weekend!"
With that, she rushed out like a gust of wind, leaving behind a hurried figure, which made Bert couldn't help but
smile.
Previously, she always appeared so submissive, but it seemed that it wasn't always the case; there were times

Thinking like this, he unexpectedly found himself looking forward to the weekend. For the first time, his otherwise
placid heart stirred with a ripple. This feeling didn't seem bad at all.
In the evening at the hospital in Yazton.
Huston completed all the remaining formalities related to the case, and the whole matter finally came to an end.
Due to its involvement with higher-ups, the reward was not substantial, but he was appointed as the chief legal
advisor to the police department, an honor more valuable than money.
Huston remotely managed his company which Benjamin was temporarily in charge of, and Matt was taking care of
things at HM Law Office, so there was nothing for him to worry about on those fronts. Although Benjamin sent him
some news about his personal achievements in the country, mostly praising him for winning an impressive lawsuit
after so many years and the surge in HM Law Office's stock due to positive publicity, none of it mattered to Huston
as much as the person lying in the hospital bed.
These past few days, Huston had been struggling with whether or not to tell her about the treatment plan. Although
he desperately wanted to keep it a secret, he considered the harm caused by his unilateral decisions before, so he
sought Evelyn's opinion.
The expected result was laser treatment.
"If you choose this method, the process will be extremely tough. Kevin was honest with me; many men couldn't
endure this treatment, and countless others quit halfway, ultimately achieving nothing..."
"I'll hold on," She interrupted him. Although she was very nervous, her thoughts were extremely firm, "Even if
there's only a one in a million chance, I'll do it. I don't want to give up just like that. What's more, it can cure my
burns."
When Huston saw the persistence in her eyes, he frowned tightly, " Evelyn..."

"I know you're worried about me," She reached out and covered his broad hand with hers, looking up at him with a
gentle smile, "But I have to do this. Even if I give up, at least I'll have peace of mind. I don't want to regret it later."
She had never been a coward, and Huston had always known that. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't interfere, but
he genuinely felt heartache for her. He hated to see her in pain, and he wished he could bear all of it instead.
But what could he do? She had already made up her mind.
Looking at his unwavering frown, Evelyn comforted him, "Don't worry about me. I will get through this, and
everything will be fine."
It had been many days since the incident, and she had lost all hope for her wounds. Hearing about a glimmer of
recovery now filled her with excitement and joy. Even though countless pain and torment awaited her, it was still
better than having no hope at all.
"If we're going for laser treatment, we'll have to go back to Jewel City. Only Lane's Hospital possesses this
technology, and it can't be done here." Huston wrapped his slender fingers around hers.
Evelyn was taken aback. She had been in the hospital in Yazton for so long, and now suddenly they were talking
about going back to Jewel City, leaving her somewhat dazed.
