Chapter 1356 Deciding to Face the Reality

Evelyn's talk seemed to have a significant effect on Alivia. The next morning, when Romy came to deliver a

replenishing soup, Alivia finished drinking it and spoke calmly, "Mom, I know the soup was sent over by Bert and

then given to me."

Romy froze a little at Alivia's words and quickly responded, "What are you talking about? I made the soup for you.

What does it have to do with Bert?"

"Mom, don't lie to me. The ingredients in this are really difficult to handle. It can't be made this way without special

skills."

Romy opened her mouth to explain but found herself at a loss for words. Well, no one knows a mother better than

her own daughter. Alivia had been eating her mother's food since childhood; she would definitely notice the

difference.

With the conversation at this point, Romy decided to be honest, "I didn't intend to hide it from you. You're in a

recovery period and need nutrition. I was afraid that if I told you Bert had prepared it, you might refuse to drink it.

I've been running between the hospital and home, not having enough time to prepare such meticulous soup."

Alivia looked down at the empty white porcelain bowl in her hands, deep in thought. After a few seconds, she lifted

her head again and said, "Let him deliver it himself."

Taken aback by this sudden statement, Romy asked, "Who?"

"Bert," Alivia sighed heavily.

After all these days of struggle, she was already twenty-two. She couldn't keep acting like a child anymore, she

needed to sort out her own feelings.

Romy, of course, hoped that Alivia could see Bert. As an elder, she could see that Bert's feelings for Alivia were

genuine and passionate. If they could really be together, Alivia would be very happy.

But Alivia's emotions toward Bert had always been very intense, and Romy feared it might affect her recovery. Even

though she was anxious, she had never mentioned anything.

So, when Romy heard Alivia say she was willing to see Bert, she was naturally delighted, "My good girl, have you

thought it through?"

Thought it through?

Alivia didn't think she had. Whenever she thought of Bert, her heart still ached. She shook her head slightly, "I need

to face the reality eventually."

Evelyn was right. Avoidance wouldn't bring her anything. She had to learn to face things, facing Bert was also like

facing her own true feelings.

Hearing her words, Romy felt a sense of relief, holding her hand gently, "Alivia, you're an adult now. I'm glad to see

you thinking this way. In my opinion, Bert is not a bad person. He's good to you, but how you interact with each

other ultimately depends on your own feelings. No matter what the outcome is, I'm here for you. Don't worry too

much."

No matter what happens in this world, the only people who will always be by your side are your family.

Alivia felt tears welling up in her eyes. Touched and suddenly filled with confidence, she decided that maybe she

should try to take this step forward.

After she told Romy to let Bert come by himself, he showed up in her hospital room with a thermos of food at

dinner time that day.

Alivia was already up and about. She had just come back from a small garden, still wearing her red knitted jacket.

Seeing him enter, she instinctively tightened her jacket around herself. She thought Bert would ask why she

suddenly asked him to come, but he didn't say a word.

Effortlessly opening the thermos and pouring the soup into a bowl, he placed it on her bedside table, "Time for

dinner."

With his expression and posture, anyone who didn't know better would think he'd been caring for her here every

day, not a hint of unfamiliarity showing.
