Chapter 36


    Outside the emergency room, Mrs. Jones was in tears, unable to contain her emotions. Darren tried to


    console her, urging her not to worry.


    Though Tyler hoped that Naomi would be okay, he wasn’t a heartless person. He didn’t want to harm


    another person just to save her. That’s why he had urged Olivia to think it through.


    Moreover, besides him, who cared deeply for her, Naomi’s parents hadn’t considered the risks either,


    including Darren, who was Olivia’s father.


    At that moment, he couldn’t help but feel that the whole situation seemed somewhat inhumane, even


    though he fervently wished for Naomi’s life to no longer be at risk. He stood there quietly, closing his


    eyes for a moment.


    A nurse asked Olivia, “Are you anemic?”


    She wasn’t sure; she knew very little about her own body. She replied softly, “I don’t think so.”


    “Okay, let’s take a look.”


    The nurse proceeded to draw her blood for testing. Olivia watched as the needle punctured her vein,


    causing a sharp, painful sensation that made her body tense up. But she endured it, keeping quiet.


    The nurse said to her, “Hang in there.”

    And Olivia remained silent.


    Once all the tests werepleted, she was taken into the emergency room. Uncertain of what was


    about to happen, she could only follow the orders of the doctors and nurses.


    As she entered the emergency room, her eyes fell upon Naomi, who was lying at the first aid station.


    Naomi looked pale, her lips devoid of color, and Olivia grew paler too when she saw her.


    As shey on the adjacent bed, she could only hope and pray that Naomi would be okay.


    She had no idea how much blood they would take from her. Gradually, she begari to feel dizzy, the


    room spinning around her. The only sound she heard was the constant beeping of the medical


    equipment.


    The nurse asked the doctor, “More?”


    The doctor answered, “Yes.”


    Seeing that Olivia was bing increasingly pale, the nurse felt uneasy, but they had no other


    options. With determination, she continued to draw more blood.


    Olivia had no sense of time passing. She felt utterly drained, and exhaustion overtook her, causing her


    to drift into sleep.

    When she finally awoke, there was only one nurse beside her. All the doctors had gathered around


    Naomi


    They were both brought out of the emergency room at the same time. Tyler rushed to Naomi’s side, but


    he paused when he reached her. His gaze shifted to the bed behind Naomi.

    Tyler hadn’t expected this oue. He bit his lip, standing by Naomi’s side.


    Outside the emergency room, Mrs. Jones and Darren had been anxiously waiting for a long time.

    Mrs. Jones threw herself at her daughter, sobbing uncontrobly. “Naomi! Naomi!”

    She stirred momentarily, whispering when she opened her eyes and saw her parents, “Mom, Dad, I’m


    okay.”


    Darren held her hand. “Did it hurt, Naomi?”


    Naomi remained silent, gazing at Tyler. He quickly bent down and gently caressed her face. “Do you


    feel better now?”


    She said, “Yes, I thought I wouldn’t be able to see you again.”
