Just as he was hesitating, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder.
Kevin was startled and quickly looked back, only to find that it was an old lady.
Feeling a bit familiar, he thought for a moment and recognized Alivia's mother.
"Hello, Mrs. Clark."
"Hello! Nice to meet you." Romy saw him standing outside and couldn't help but feel strange. Just as she was about to open the door to welcome him in, she saw Bert in the room.
She was stunned for a moment and then understood. "Mr. Lane, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Kevin met Romy's aged eyes. Although she was no longer young and didn't have much exposure to the world, she was far from foolish.
Kevin admired Alivia a lot. Raising two children on her own today was not easy. Even now, facing such a situation, she remained composed, accepted Bert's help, and quickly gathered strength to take care of her daughter.
He called her into the reception room next to the ward. "Mrs. Clark, you've been here with Alivia every day, so you must also take care of yourself and rest. Otherwise, you won't be able to hold up."
Romy waved her hand. "I'm fine. I'm already an old-timer, and I can handle it!"
After that, she immediately asked about Alivia, "Mr. Lane, how's it going with my daughter?"
Kevin had faced many families of patients, witnessing deeply moving scenes of desperate pleas for cure or heartrending cries after losing their loved ones. However, people like Romy, who spoke about reality with such candidness, were not so common.
His eyes felt a bit warm, and his nose seemed to pinch with a sourness.
He was a doctor, so he had to stay rational and not infect the patient's family with more negative emotions.
Kevin held back his tears and gently patted Romy's shoulder. "All right, I promise you," he said.
