Chapter 1148 He Can't Lose Her
Romy had a strong and fiery temperament when she was young, and in this aspect, Alivia followed in her footsteps.
Bert tightened his hand by his side, looking weary. He closed his eyes gently, his heart going through a whirlwind of
emotions, and then opened them again. "She is a very good girl."
"'Yeah." Romy seemed to have thought of something. She covered her face and turned around as she choked with
sobs, "But everything's gone, it's all gone..."
Looking at Romy's trembling shoulders, Bert wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say. He could only tell
her firmly, "I won't give up on her, Mrs. Clark."
"Speaking of which is easy, but how long can she maintain this condition? She is in a vegetative state now..." Romy
couldn't continue, as the mere thought of it caused unbearable pain in her heart.
Children are like a piece of flesh that falls from their mother's body. Seeing Alivia in such a state, it felt like Romy's
heart had been gouged out with a knife.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon hearing her words, Bert felt a surge of emotions, and his breathing became a bit rapid as he spoke, "We'll
figure it out. I have invited experts from both domestic and international sources. They will definitely find a
solution."
After hearing that, Romy's body stiffened. She turned around and looked at the tall man in front of her. Earlier, she
was so focused on feeling sad that she didn't pay attention to him at all. Now that she had taken a closer look, she
realized that this man was different from the others she had seen before. If she had to point out what was different
about him, it was that he didn't resemble an ordinary person from a common household. Instead, he exuded a
strong presence that immediately gave away his extraordinary nature.
This realization caused Romy to panic. They were commoners. When had Alivia ever interacted with someone like
this? "What's your name?" After coming back to her senses, Romy asked the first question about him today.
"My name is Bert Harper." Bert wasn't going to hide it.
"Bert..." Romy nodded and sighed.
Little did she know, after Bert living for so many years, not many people casually called him by his name like that.
He couldn't help but be taken aback, and it took him more than ten seconds to react and respond, "Yes." "We are
just ordinary people. When I was sick before, Alivia took a break from her studies in her sophomore year and
worked everywhere to support me and her younger brother. Later, when my illness finally recovered, she
encountered this incident... Our family has always been not well-off, living a tight and difficult life. When you
mentioned inviting experts just now, we simply don't have the financial ability to bear such expenses," Romy said,
her eyes turning red as she spoke.
As a mother, she had always felt self-reproach and regret, blaming herself for not providing her children better
living conditions. Moreover, she felt responsible for burdening her daughter with their difficulties.
This feeling became even deeper at this moment.
Bert didn't mind these matters and readily agreed, saying, "You don't need to worry about the expenses. I can take
care of it. If the experts can provide a feasible solution, no matter how long it takes, I won't give up. I will wait for
the moment she wakes up."
This sentence made Romy's heart feel as if it had been bumped. She looked carefully at the person in front of her.

between you and Alivia? I can't accept your help without knowing the reason."
This question brought Bert's memory back to a few months ago. Her every frown, smile, and gesture flashed
before his eyes like scenes from a movie.
Her appearance, when angry, happy, cunning, bright, or dark... Everything seemed so vivid as if it had happened
just yesterday, but everything vanished in the blink of an eye.
Bert let out a deep breath. His voice was trembling, but his eyes were firm. "She has helped me a lot and done a lot
for me, but I missed her. This is my biggest regret in my life. So, Mrs. Clark, I'm not helping you. I'm redeeming
myself."
Very few people would utter the word "redeem." Not because of anything else but because this word was too
sacred and grand, making people hesitate to use it lightly.
But at this moment, he said this word.
Just as Romy was too shocked to speak, Bert in front of her spoke again, "I can't bear to lose her. I hope you can
give me a chance."
