Bert is grateful to Alivia for once again stepping into his life. If she were to die in this accident, he wouldn't know how to live with the guilt and regret that would follow him for the rest of his life.
He probably wouldn't love anyone else in this lifetime, carrying on with such guilt.
Alivia looked at the window in front of her, the night outside was deep, only the remnants of the street lights were bright. The moon in the sky was half-curved, and the foggy light shone through the clouds.
But her mood at the moment was exceptionally clear.
The man's voice, passionate and intense yet steady, rang in her ear. She opened her mouth and closed it again, wanting to say something but didn't know how to express it. After half a minute, she finally said, "Bert, we'll be fine."
To be fine might not be a difficult task for others, but for her, for Bert, for their relationship that was not long but has suffered a lot, everything is so difficult.
She doesn't wish for anything else now, as long as they could be fine, it would be enough.
"Alright," The man closed his eyes slightly. He had heard various demands in his thirty-plus years of life, but at this moment, these words stirred a sourness in his heart, "We'll be fine."
No matter what the future holds, he was willing to walk with her, to be fine together.
The last person to hear the news of Alivia waking up was Marcellus. He had not been to the company for several days because of his burns. Kevin knew about his burns and only told him about it in the last few days.
At that moment, Marcellus was sitting in the living room watching a football match. When he heard the good news on the phone, he leaped up from the sofa, "Really?!"
