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 slightly and exposed her clumsy disguise. "I know you're awake."
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.
