Chapter 1353 I Don't Know How to Face Him

Alivia looked at the pile of things on the table. Although she felt embarrassed, she couldn't refuse the generous

offer and had to accept it.

After finishing lunch, Romy went out for a while, and Evelyn stayed in the hospital room with Alivia. Despite the

significant age gap between them, Alivia was a very sensible girl, emotionally mature, and they could communicate

without feeling any generation gap.

They couldn't help but bring up the topic of Bert whenever they talked because he was the only mutual friend

between them.

From a friend's point of view, Evelyn had been observing Bert and Alivia's close relationship for a long time, and she

understood how much Bert cared about Alivia, especially when Alivia fell sick. It was evident to her that Bert truly

had strong feelings for Alivia. Unable to resist, she decided to speak up on his behalf.

"Alivia, may I ask you a question? I hope you won't be upset. Did you have another argument with Bert?"

Hearing that man's name, Alivia paused for a moment and then shook her head, "No."

They hadn't seen each other in these past few days, so how could they have fought?

However, lately, both Romy and Henry had been deliberately avoiding mentioning Bert, and Alivia had

subconsciously told herself not to think about his name. So, when it was brought up now, it caught her off guard.

She wondered what he had been up to all these days and if he missed her.

But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, Alivia blamed herself internally and shook her head in self-disgust.

She was the one who didn't want him to come, so why was she thinking about him now?

That was not right.

Evelyn could see the girl's behavior, and it reminded her of the times when she had arguments with Huston. In

reality, they both cared about each other a lot, but due to past experiences, they hadn't fully resolved their issues,

causing them to be at odds.

It wasn't a matter of love or not; it was that they hadn't yet sorted out their feelings.

Once Evelyn understood this, she felt relieved and thought to herself, "As long as there are genuine feelings

involved, it's a positive sign." "To be honest, after spending so much time with Bert, I've come to understand him a

bit. Despite his typically indifferent demeanor, he's actually very sensitive and can't pretend around people he

doesn't like."

"I know," Alivia nodded. In fact, she understood, but...

"I don't know what's wrong with me. I just don't want to see him. Whenever I do, I can't help but think of so many

things, and I get instinctively nervous and want to withdraw. I always end up avoiding him."

"It's normal," Evelyn reassured her, glad that Alivia was opening up, "It's natural to go through such a process. After

going through such significant events, how could you not have any grudges in your heart? I know it."

Then she changed the topic, "But you can't keep avoiding him forever. You still have to confront this issue. I'm not

advocating for him, but avoiding it like this, aren't you feeling uncomfortable in your heart?"

Alivia felt Evelyn's words strike a chord in her heart. Treating Bert like this made her uncomfortable too, more than

a little.

She carried this burden in her heart every day, and it made her feel suffocated until she resolved it.

"Evelyn, I..." She hesitated and said, "I don't know how to face him."
