Chapter 1147 Take the Responsibility
Henry's roar was more like a suppressed outburst, and suddenly overwhelmed with emotions, he lunged toward the motionless figure lying on the hospital bed.
Bert sensed his intentions, afraid that Henry might do something reckless in his emotional state. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed his shoulders, pulling him back.
"Calm down!"
"I can't calm down! The person lying there is my sister. She is the one who treats me the best. How can I calm down when her life is uncertain now?" After a loud roar, Henry suddenly looked at Alivia and shouted heartbreakingly, "Alivia! Alivia! Look at me. Mom and I are here to see you. Open your eyes and look at us..."Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Having experienced many life-and-death situations, not to mention others, Bert himself had crawled out of dangerous quagmires. With such numerous experiences, his heart would become hardened, and there was hardly anything that could easily move him.
But at this time, when he heard Henry shouting, he felt very sad, especially when all these loud sounds disappeared, but the little girl on the bed did not move at all. The sharp contrast and the dead silence made his blood freeze.
Romy and Henry stayed in the ward for nearly twenty minutes before they gradually calmed down. The mother and son looked at the pale-faced Alivia on the bed and slowly accepted the fact that she was in a vegetative state.
Romy was a strong person. She had never cried when she was sick. But this time, it was as if she had shed all the tears she had accumulated in her heart.
She stopped crying, but her eyes were empty.
After calming down, she looked at Bert expressionlessly and asked hoarsely, "Are you Alivia's friend?"
Facing those old and somewhat similar eyes to Alivia, Bert's heart was touched. He straightened his body against the wall, looked serious, and solemnly spoke, "Mrs. Clark, could we have a private conversation?"
Romy took a deep look at her lifeless daughter on the bed. After a pause, she supported herself up by the bed and followed Bert to the corridor of the hospital.
This floor was for VIPS, and there weren't many rooms in total. The corridor was very quiet. The two of them walked to the end of the corridor near the window, gazing at the grayish sky outside. Bert's Adam's apple rolled twice; he felt like smoking but managed to resist the urge.
"If there's anything you want to say, just say it," Romy spoke first. She was nearly fifty years old and looked completely listless.
Bert took a deep breath, going through the words he had organized in his mind once again before speaking in a calm tone, "Mrs. Clark, although I feel sorry for letting you know about me in this situation, I still want to be honest with you."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and then said firmly, "I'm Alivia's boyfriend."
Alivia liked him and confessed her love to him in Quartz City. She even gave him her virginity. At that time, he was a jerk and ran away. But at this moment, he wanted to take responsibility.
He didn't know if the woman in a coma would agree.
He wanted to be selfish for once.
Bert thought that Romy would have a big reaction when she heard this, but unexpectedly, the woman was just stunned for a moment. A few seconds later, she nodded calmly, "I know."
This time, it was Bert's turn to be surprised.
"You know?"
Romy twitched the corner of her lips as if she wanted to give him a friendly smile. However, under such circumstances, her heart was filled with bitterness, and she really couldn't bring herself to smile. "Alivia is a very self-respecting girl. If she doesn't like someone, she won't let that person walk around her. Since you're by her side, it proves that she likes you."
