Chapter 1351 He's Always Been Taking Care of You
The lights in the ward had been turned off, and only a small light was on at the end of the bed. The person on the
bed had fallen asleep. Romy was sitting on a chair next to her. When she saw him come in, she raised her tired
eyelids and said in a low voice, "Bert."
"I'll keep watch, Aunt. You can rest next door."
Romy looked at Alivia, who had fallen asleep safely and nodded. "Okay, don't stay up either. At least you should
sleep for a while."
"Yeah."
After giving a few instructions, Romy left the ward, leaving only the two of them in the dark room. Bert sat in
Romy's original position and looked at her, who was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed. He frowned

She could fool Romy, but she couldn't fool him.
Alivia thought that she had pretended well, but she was still discovered. She opened her eyes awkwardly.
She looked straight at the ceiling, unwilling to look at the person next to her.
On the contrary, Bert's eyes were glued to her. His heart was full of her and he couldn't hold anything.
Neither of them spoke, which made the room a little uncomfortable. Bert was afraid that she would feel
uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to talk to her. "How are you feeling?"
A familiar voice came to her ears, and Alivia's eyelashes trembled slightly, "I'm fine."
The short conversation ended, and there was another wave of unbearable silence.
She couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart. No matter what they said, it was embarrassing.
The man clenched his fists. He had never exhausted so much strength to say a word before. After a long time, he
asked, "Do you hate me in your heart?"
Whether to ask or not, Bert had an answer in his heart. Instead of complaining, it was better to say that those
things had become an unhealable wound in her heart.
After experiencing a lot of things, she would understand a lot, but it would not become better because of it. If the
wound was pulled too big, it would only get more and more painful.
What had happened between them in the past was all related wounds. As time went by, their experiences became
more and more like thorns in the bottom of their hearts, and they felt uncomfortable as long as they thought of it.
After hearing this question, Alivia didn't know how to answer. She carefully looked at the man in front of her out of
the corner of her eye. He was much more depressed than before. His whole body was thinner, his cheekbones and
lower jaw could be seen clearly, and his face was fiercer.
She remembered what her mother had said today. He had been taking care of her in almost all aspects. Now that
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe saw his thin face, she could imagine it.
He must have suffered a lot since he had lost so much weight.
Alivia felt sad and looked away. She stared at the white quilt on her chest and said dryly, "No."
How could she complain when he appeared in front of her in such a posture? Besides, she had made her own
choice. She didn't regret it at all.
She just felt that her feelings for him became heavier and more firmly suppressed in the bottom of her heart. She
did not dare to show it again easily.
It was like a chronic disease. She was afraid, so she wanted to hide.
Bert would rather hear her blame him than hear her say these words so calmly and resistively. The oxygen in the
air seemed to have been sucked away, and his lungs seemed to have been squeezed by a stone, and he couldn't
breathe.
He was like the person who had found the last water source in the desert. He was so eager to hear her say that she
still liked him, but now he didn't dare to force her, nor did he want to force her.
"Take care of yourself first. We'll talk about the rest later." After that, his thin lips moved as if he had made an
extremely difficult decision. "If you don't want to see me, I won't come over recently."
