Chapter 1362 Let Me Love You
He spoke quickly and anxiously, in a manner that could even be somewhat irritating. Yet each and every word was
brimming with sincerity, as though he was letting out emotions he had suppressed for a long time, with an urgent
need to express them.
Alivia detected the restraint and release in his words, two contradictory emotions surfacing at once, yet it did not
feel abrupt or jarring.
Feeling the sincerity of this man made it hard for her to utter anything insincere. However, his confession came so
suddenly, she wasn't prepared for it...
"Do... do you even understand what you're saying..."
"I know exactly what I'm saying," Bert responded without a shred of hesitation, "I've fallen in love with you. I want to

His two statements were like a pair of atomic bombs dropped in her heart, shattering her already fragmented
reasoning into dust. Her heartbeat spiked to its fastest, and her anxiety and agitation surged despite her best
efforts to suppress them.
So, this was how it felt to be confessed to by the man she loved deeply. Just a second ago she was consumed with
various negative emotions, but with just one sentence from him, her world bloomed like spring, everything seemed
different.
His impact on her was profound. She cared about him too much, constantly, relentlessly. She could deceive others,
but not herself.
Alivia, you must really love this man deep down in your bones. How else could you risk your life just to make him
happy?
As these thoughts swirled in her mind, she couldn't help feeling wronged. The raw emotions that had been
repressed beneath her surfaced in a powerful burst.
She fixed her gaze on his handsome face, taking in every detail, "When... When did you fall in love with me?"
"Quite a while ago. Maybe when you took a bullet for me, or maybe even before that," Bert continued, perhaps to
convince her, "I swear to God, every word I say is true. I can't tell you exactly when because even I was in denial,
couldn't believe that I could fall so deeply in love with a young woman I barely knew."
Some people confess their love as soon as they realize it, while others are unaware of their deep affection until
they've lost the person they love.
The former is clear and bright, the latter is more restrained, and Bert was undoubtedly the latter. His childhood and
upbringing shaped his character; he couldn't change it, only experience could bring understanding.
Fortunately, fate gave him a chance to understand, pulling this girl back from the brink of death and giving her to

Alivia met his deep, inscrutable gaze. His eyes were always so complex, so difficult to decipher, but now she could
clearly see the depth of his feelings for her, etched in his gaze. He was serious, offering her an unobstructed view
of his emotions.
Alivia suddenly averted her gaze. Her heart raced, uncertain of how to face him. This man had changed so
drastically, but she couldn't deny her own feelings of hurt.
Seeing the hint of red in her eyes, Bert felt a pang of guilt. He knelt down, gently caressing her face, "Alivia, I know
I've hurt you badly, and no amount of regret can make up for my past mistakes. But I hope you can give me a
chance to protect you, to love you."
To love you.
Those three words were like a sharp dagger, piercing through the gloom shrouding her heart and drawing fresh
blood.
It was painful, but it also gave her a glimpse of the brilliant sky beyond the gloom.
She was within reach of that beautiful sky, yet she hesitated, filled with fear.
