After a brief conversation with Kevin, Romy returned to the room. She had gone home earlier to pack her belongings and now decided to stay here longer with her daughter.
She glanced at the man beside the bed and gently knocked twice before pushing the door open and walking in.
"Mr. Harper, you are here." Romy forced a smile and greeted the man in front of her.
Bert watched her walk in. He wasn't good at socializing, but she was Alivia's mother, so he still tried to be considerate. "Hello, Mrs. Clark."
Although Bert treated Alivia well, and Romy genuinely cared for her daughter, they hardly exchanged a few words. Romy couldn't even imagine what kind of interactions Alivia had with Bert.
This man seemed to carry an air of aloofness and coldness, especially evident when he was in a bad mood. Even at her age, she still felt a bit pressured to talk to him.
It was already past 11 am, and Romy placed a thermos on the table. "Mr. Harper, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Luckily, I brought some food, all homemade. It may not be as delicious as the restaurant food, but please have some."
Romy had anticipated that Bert would be staying with Alivia in the ward. These days, except for the time she was around, Bert almost never left. In the beginning, she had doubts about his attitude towards Alivia, but everything that happened afterward dispelled her doubts.
No one would put up such an act; it was a willingly given commitment.
She didn't know how to express her gratitude. She could only express her gratitude in such a clumsy way.
Bert naturally understood, so he swallowed the words of refusal that were about to come out of his mouth. He got up, walked to the table, and sat down, silently opening the thermos.
