Chapter 1100 Uncontrollable Desire
However, she didn't intend to make everything clear. Some things needed to be in the gray area; extremes always
hurt people.
"That's good. In fact, Mr. Harper may argue with me sometimes, but he's very nice to me. He's really, really, really
a good person," Lucas spoke up, praising Bert, partly because the man treated him well, and partly because he felt
that if he didn't say these things, Mr. Harper might never find a wife in his lifetime.
Alivia smiled when she heard his emphasis, "I know it."
After putting Lucas to bed, Alivia waited for nearly another ten minutes, realizing that there was no sound coming
from the adjacent room. Almost half an hour had passed since Bert went to take a bath.

Seeing that Lucas was already sleepy, Alivia tucked him in and decided to go back to check on Bert.
She closed the door gently and used another room card to swipe open Bert's door. The room, which had been
brightly lit earlier, was now shrouded in darkness. Alivia was taken aback and tried to listen, but there was no sound
of water coming from the bathroom.
Her heart sank. She moved inside, and before she could insert the room card into the slot, a strong hand grabbed
her arm.
"Ouch... Oh!" Before she could make a sound, her mouth was covered by a wide hand.
Her heart started racing, her pulse reaching its peak as Bert's face, in the dim light, came into focus.
He looked as though he was drunk, appearing somewhat confused. His usually sharp and clear black eyes were
clouded.
She widened her eyes in surprise, tilted her head, and managed to avoid his hand. She exclaimed in a low voice, "Is
that you, Bert?"
"Don't shout," The man's voice was hoarse as if it had been polished by countless stones. Even so, Alivia could still
tell that it was him!
"What's wrong with you?" Her voice trembled, and she tried to look at him, but in the darkness, she could only
make out his vague features.
It seemed as though he had a fever, and his hot and heavy body pressed down on hers. She accidentally touched
some wet spots on him that seemed like he had just taken a bath.
"Are you sick?" Alivia was worried that he was not feeling well, so she raised her hand to feel the temperature on
his forehead. Unexpectedly, as soon as her fingertips touched his skin, she was grabbed.
"Don't move!" The man growled, gasping for breath as if he had run thousands of meters.

Not to mention how high his body temperature was, even the air he exhaled was hot. Alivia was pressed under him.
His hands were on both sides of her, and he was tense all over as if he was trying his best to restrain something.
His behavior made Alivia more and more uneasy, and her voice trembled, "Bert, what's wrong with you?"
This time, the man didn't even answer. His eyes were closed. From the side, one could even see his bulging veins.
Alivia was extremely worried. It was just a bath. How could it suddenly become like this in more than 40 minutes?
Could it be that he has some hidden illness or a sudden illness?
Thinking of this, she became even more flustered. Seeing that he was in great pain, she immediately ignored his
warning and pushed him away, "Bert, get up. I'll take you to the hospital!"
Her hands, which were cold because of fear, accidentally touched his chest. His burning and uncomfortable body
felt like it had touched a water source, and he instinctively wanted more.
Everything was running out of control like a floodgate that had been opened.
