Chapter 278
Olivia was totally taken aback by Tyler’s words. It sounded like he was saying it was okay if their baby wasn’t born perfect.
What really mattered was the cord blood that Naomi was after. The baby’s health didn’t seem to be the priority.
This left Olivia feeling really mixed up inside. She wasn’t sure if she should be relieved or worried to hear that.
She couldn’t find the words to respond for a good while.
At the hospital, Olivia went through a test called amniocentesis. It was pretty quick, only about ten minutes.
Soon after, the Harris family staff, including maids and the butler, all rallied around her. They were all concerned about her.
Tyler was right there with her too. He leaned over and asked, “How are you feeling? Does it hurt anywhere?”
Sitting in a wheelchair, Olivia answered, “I’m fine.”
Actually, she felt okay, just a little sore on her belly.
Tyler gently patted her head, suggesting, “Why don’t you rest up in the room for a bit?”
The doctor said she should be up and walking in two hours if all went well, but
recommended she stay in bed for three days just to be safe.
Olivia nodded, understanding. The nurse and maids then wheeled her out of the examination room, while Tyler stayed behind to talk to the doctor.
After the test, Olivia felt really tired and soon fell asleep.
About thirty minutes later, Tyler entered her room. The nurse and staff were making sure Olivia was comfortable in bed.
When the maids tried to greet him, Tyler signaled for them to leave for now. The room darkened as the door closed behind the last maid, leaving only a dim light behind Tyler.
Once everyone left, Tyler sat by Olivia, who was sleeping but seemed restless, constantly holding her belly.
Charter 278
When Olivia woke up, she found herself surrounded by the Harrises. Maisy and Ana were right by her bed.
Maisy, concerned, held her hand. “Are you feeling any better, Olivia? Any pain?”
Olivia took a moment before responding, “I’m okay, Grandma. It doesn’t hurt.”
“Make sure to stay in bed, don’t try to get up,” Ana reminded her, showing her concern.
Olivia nodded. “I’ll remember that.‘
Maisy felt so bad for her, saying, “My dear Olivia, you’ve been through so much.”
Just then, Tyler came in. He walked to the bed and asked, “Do you want something to eat?
Linda followed behind him, holding a thermos full of fresh food.
Maisy and Ana didn’t say a word as Tyler came closer. Olivia looked at them and noticed they seemed okay with it. She was the only one who felt awkward.
Since she had been asleep for hours, she nodded and said, “I’m quite hungry.”
