Chapter 169
His lack of response made Olivia turn around. But before she could go far, he grabbed her forearm.” Calm down. You’re getting too… emotional.”
She suddenly yelped.
Something was wrong. Tyler released her arm, noticing her trembling. “What’s wrong?!”
Olivia stepped back, keeping her distance to avoid any more sudden movements. His grip had been so strong that it had aggravated her injury, rubbing against her skin.
Tyler approached cautiously. “What’s going on?”
She held her abdomen protectively, retreating further.
Tyler took her forearm again, this time without force. He looked at her abdomen and realized it had to do with it. “Take your clothes off.”
Olivia hesitated, shivering.
“Take it off,” he repeated firmly.
Finally, she complied.
Tyler pulled her closer. “What happened here?” he asked, his gaze intense. He noticed the inflammation around her belly button, the skin irritated and injured. He carried her in his arms,
causing her to wince as she grabbed his shoulders tightly.
Covering her with her clothes, he carried her out of the room. “What’s going on? Who did this to you? “he demanded.
Olivia trembled but said nothing.
Tyler’s expression darkened. It was a side of him no one had ever seen before.
He descended the stairs, where the maid rushed to meet him. “What’s wrong, Mr. Tyler?”
“Get the car ready. We need to go to the hospital.”
“B–But I just got back from there!”
“I didn’t ask you,” Tyler retorted. After settling Olivia into the car, he asked, “Are there any injuries like this?”
She pressed her lips together, refusing to answer.
“I asked you a question.”
