Chapter 31


    Tyler looked at Naomi, pretending to be mad. “Stop being stubborn.”


    Naomi sighed, realizing she needed topromise. “Alright, I won’t argue with you.”


    Tyler took a nket from the nurse and gently wrapped it around her, seemingly worried she might


    catch a cold.


    Trying to be yful, Naomi said, “No need to worry. We’re just in Olivia’s ward.”


    He replied seriously, “Alright, let’s go.”


    Meanwhile, Olivia, who was lying in bed, quietly watched them.


    After giving Naomi a warm hug, Tyler turned to Olivia. “I’ll take your sister back. If you need anything,


    just talk to the driver, okay?”


    Olivia answered, “Sure, thanks, Tyler.


    As they left, Tyler and Naomi started chatting happily. Olivia couldn’t hear their conversation, but she


    could see Tyler smiling.


    Tyler rarely smiled, except when he was with Naomi. Olivia couldn’t help but notice that.


    Concerned for Olivia, Naomi asked, “Is Olivia going to be alright by herself in the ward?”


    Tyler reassured her, holding her close. “She’ll be fine. The driver will take her back to schoolter.”


    With a sigh of relief, Naomi nodded and walked ahead.


    Back in the ward, Olivia remained in bed with her IV drip until evening, but Tyler never showed up. It


    was his driver who eventually brought her back to the Jones’ residence.


    In reality, she had been eagerly awaiting Tyler’s visit, hoping to ask about Jacob’s situation. However,


    her disappointment grew when he didn’t appear. Reluctant to call him, she gave up on the idea.


    When she got home, she found her father, Darren, watching TV. An advertisement about a new


    medicine rted to Naomi’s illness was on the screen.


    Olivia stood at the door, watching him intently, but he seemedpletely absorbed in the TV program.


    She walked over and called out, “Dad.”

    He turned to look at her. “No school today?”


    It had been days since she came home. She was surprised that her father did not even ask about that.


    She stood there for a moment, feeling a sense of disappointment. Nevertheless, she replied, “I went


    to school and visited Naomi.”

    Darren sighed. “y, go rest,” without taking his eyes off the TV.


    In reality, Ollots still felt unwell and looked pale, but he didn’t seem to notice. She stood there, biting her


    lip, and eventually turned and went upstairs in silence.


    orning, Olivia called Tyler, unable to contain her worry about Jacob. She hesitated, fearing


    the might bother him, but her concern was too strong,


    Tyler answered the call in silence, and Olivia’s breathing was barely audible.


    He waited for her to speak but, after a pause, she finally asked, “Tyler, will Jacob be released on bail


    tomorrow?


    Tyler had just woken up, holding a ss of iced water. He was dressed in ck pants and a long-


    sleeved t–shirt. Sitting on the couch, he replied, “I think so.”


    Olivia wasn’t entirely reassured by his response and pressed further, “Are you sure he’ll be released?”


    There was a long silence before Tyler gave a t reply.


    However, Olivia wasn’t satisfied with his answer. She mustered her courage and said, “Tyler, can we


    meet?”
