Chapter 339
Olivia returned to her room after breakfast, and Tyler followed shortly after. She sat in her wheelchair,
feeling uneasy, and watched as Tyler entered the room.
“Where’s the maid?” Tyler asked, noticing Olivia was alone..
Just then, Alisa appeared. “I went to fetch an ice bag for her foot,” she explained.
Tyler nodded and headed off to change his clothes.
Breaking the silence, Olivia said, “Tyler, I want to visit Naomi.”
Tyler paused, then turned to face her.
Her hands tightened into a fist. “I’m a bit worried about her,” she added.
“There’s no need for you to go. Just stay here,” Tyler replied firmly, leaving no room for discussion.
Olivia’s hand trembled, but she persisted, “I just need to talk to her…” She couldn’t understand why her sister had fainted at the door the other day, but she felt it was somehow her fault, and it weighed on her
mind.
Tyler cut her off, “She doesn’t want to see you. Don’t go there.”
Stunned, Olivia looked up at him, unable to grasp this reason and his indifference. But Tyler avoided her gaze and walked away.
Moments later, Tyler returned, dressed in fresh clothes. Both Alisa and Olivia remained still, watching him
leave without another word
Olivia blinked back tears, feeling a sting in her nose. Tyler’s refusal meant her visit would upset Naomi. But she didn’t do anything wrong. Despite her intentions, she felt helpless and misunderstood.
“Ma’am, are you… are you okay?” Alisa asked.
With a blank expression, Olivia clasped her hands tightly. After a long pause, she whispered, “I’m fine.” Her voice broke slightly, betraying her calm facade.
Downstairs, Tyler paused to think as he met Linda, who had just collected some clothes for Naomi. “Mr. Tyler,” she greeted him.
Tyler, his expression cold, nodded and walked toward the door, his secretary following.
Upstairs, hearing the car drive away, Olivia dismissed the maid. “You don’t need to help me, I’m fine. You can go now,” she said in a hushed tone.
Alisa glanced at Olivia’s pale face, worried, but followed her order and silently left the room.
