Chapter 380
The driver hadn’t dared to talk to her much after the last incident.
The journey to the hospital went smoothly. Upon arrival, Alisa spoke up, “Um, why are we here?”
Olivia’s hand shook a little. “I’m here to see my sister.”
“B–But what about journalists? What if they’re here?”
Not even Olivia could tell. The best answer she could manage was, “It’s probably fine?”
Alisa kept quiet while Olivia hurried into the hospital and headed toward Naomi’s ward.
Naomi had long been transferred back to her original room.
Naomi saw Olivia from the door and called out, “Olivial”
Olivia observed her haggard face. She was about to enter the ward when she lifted her head and met Tyler’s eyes.
Her footsteps faltered.
Tyler turned away, his expression stoic, as if he hadn’t noticed her.
Seeing him took Olivia by surprise. After a few seconds, though, she entered anyway.
Naomi grasped her hand tightly and began, “God, you made me worry! Do you know how much stress you’ve caused Dad?”
Olivia remained silent.
Naomi fixed her with a gaze of frustration and concern. “You really should have thought things through, Olivia! But don’t worry. Tyler’s handling everything. Just give it a few days. It’ll blow over soon!”
Despite being mentioned, Tyler stayed silent, his demeanor cold.
Olivia looked down in guilt.
Naomi sensed Olivia’s lingering bad mood and patted the empty seat next to her, beckoning Olivia to talk. Her concern was palpable, evident in the way she gently held Olivia’s hand. “No matter what happens, you must always tell me, okay? I will protect you from harm, okay?”

Olivia met her sister’s eyes and saw only love, a torrent of affection from an elder sister to her younger kin. It intensified her guilt, weighing heavily on her chest. She felt a pang of remorse and muttered, “I’m really fine, Naomi, Really. Please don’t worry about me.”
Naomi cupped Olivia’s cheeks gently. “I don’t believe it. I care for you, and that really scared me.” Olivia’s body relaxed. She felt remorse for the harsh thoughts she had entertained before.
