Chapter 889 Her Love for Huston Was Worth It
Outside the airport, Bert got in the car and did not go straight to see Evelyn. He knew that everything had just happened and that she needed time to sort out her emotions. He returned to his residence first and then asked someone to contact Huston.
He had thought that he would not be able to receive any news, but to his surprise, Huston took the initiative to call him.
"It's rare for you to call me." Bert picked up the phone. Although he was joking, his tone was tepid.
Without further ado, he got straight to the point and asked, "Are you back in Jewel City now?"
"Yeah."
Both ends of the line stayed silent. It was still Huston who spoke first. "Have you seen Evelyn?"
Hearing his question, Bert suddenly didn't want to answer directly. "What's wrong? Are you nervous when I come back?"
"..." At that moment, Huston was sitting on the edge of the bed. Hearing that Bert was teasing him, his face instantly darkened, scaring the young doctor who was taking care of him.
Usually, she was a little afraid of him, but now that he was unhappy, his temper was not something that ordinary people could withstand...
"Don't worry, I haven't seen her yet." Seeing that he didn't speak, Bert knew that he had provoked him, so his emotions eased a little. "I heard that you were in the hospital again and lost contact with her?"
Bert always had his way of getting the news. He thought that he was also an extremely meticulous and low-key person, but in less than a day, this person had received a message directly from Eoland and returned to the country. His speed was so fast that he almost had a new look at Bert.
"I have my own plans. You don't have to worry about me, Mr. Harper."
"That's good. Don't forget that she's waiting for you." Bert quickly continued, "If you can't make it, I won't stand by and do nothing."
He knew exactly what he was referring to. This man's desire for Evelyn had always existed. Even though he had temporarily restrained himself because of Huston, he had never removed it from his heart.
As a man, he was very clear about this.
He looked down at his hospital gown and said, "You wouldn't have had the chance to say such a thing under normal circumstances. You should know, right?"
Bert was stunned for a moment and soon came to his senses. He didn't expect that even in his illness, this man was still so unreasonably composed. All his weakness and softness would probably be left to Evelyn alone.
In fact, he didn't care about his life. He only cared because this man's life was related to Evelyn.
Bert was about to mock him, but before he could say anything, Huston suddenly changed the topic. "But now, you do have a good opportunity..." Bert raised his eyebrows and waited quietly for him to continue.
He clenched the phone in his hand tightly, and his fingertips turned white. "I'm sick and can't stay with them. I have to admit that apart from me, you're the closest person to them, so I have to trouble you, Mr. Harper. If there's an emergency that I can't take care of them in time, please do it for me." Saying these to Bert, he had put down his dignity.
Bert was a little surprised but more than that... he was shocked. He was shocked that he could do this for Evelyn and the child, even if it was just for saying that he was willing to put down all his dignity to ask for his help.
Mocking, sarcasm, or contempt, none of these came up in his mind. He would rather believe Huston was an ordinary man who was still trying to save face at this moment. Now, Bert felt that he had lost, because it was the first time he felt that Evelyn's love for Huston was worth it.
He smiled and finally nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, I won't refuse."
