Naomi had been waiting for Tyler to come since morning, but as night fell, he still hadn’t.
Hillary, worried about Naomi’s emotional state, decided to stay with her instead of visiting Olivia. She found it strange that Tyler hadn’t appeared all day.
When Naomi woke up around 10 the next morning, Tyler finally arrived. He seemed troubled as he
entered.
Naomi sat up in bed and called out, “Tyler.”
Lost in thought, Tyler only looked up when he heard her voice. He made his way to her bed, his expression tense.
Looking at him, Naomi asked cautiously, “I heard Olivia is… pregnant. Is it true?” Although she already knew the answer, she wanted confirmation from him.
Tyler, looking weary, nodded. “Yes, she’s six weeks along.”
Naomi smiled faintly. “I thought you’d tell me the news yesterday, but I already knew,” she paused briefly before continuing, “I waited for you all day yesterday.”
“Olivia was really sick yesterday,” Tyler explained.
Naomi Telt as if her heart was stabbed when she heard that. “I see. She’s pregnant, so it makes sense for you to take care of her.”
Tyler sensed something off in her tone. Observing her expression, he realized she was behaving like that because of him. He stopped frowning, and he looked calm now.
“She’s still unwell, but the maid is looking after her. She’ll get better soon.”
Naomi smiled. “She’s so young to be pregnant. Have you sorted out everything for her at school?” She asked out of sisterly concern for Olivia’s well–being beyond the pregnancy.
Tyler’s response was flat. “Yes, I’ve arranged for her to take a leave of absence from school. It’s all good.”
“That’s good. She’s my sister, after all. I don’t want this to disrupt her life,” Naomi said.
However, they fell into silence after that.
Naomi struggled to find the right words. Suddenly, she blurted out, “I can’t believe you’re going to be a father, Tyler. Are you happy about the baby?“.
But she regretted her words almost immediately. In the next moment, Tyler’s gaze turned as sharp and cold as an arrow, piercing through her with a look that chilled her to the bone.
Feeling the sting of his gaze, Naomi quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Tyler.”
Tyler remained silent, not reacting as he usually would.

Sensing the tension, Naomi changed the subject after a few minutes of silence. “Should I… visit Olivia?
”
Tyler noticed she changed the subject. He advised, “Taking care of yourself is your top priority now.”
“Y–You’re right, I can’t leave the hospital like this,” Naomi conceded, feeling the distance between them like a vast galaxy.
In a swift move, Tyler sat beside her. “Okay. Have you taken
your
medicine?”
Later that night, Olivia began to feel better. Hillary and Darren visited her.
As they entered her ward, Tyler returned from visiting Naomi. The maid attending to Olivia noticed him standing at the door and called out, “Mr. Tyler.”
