Chapter 125


    Olivia felt uncertain about the situation, knowing Tyler had a few drinks.


    He finally released her from his embrace. She remained in his arms, looking up at him, and quietly


    suggested, “Tyler, why don’t I go for a check–up at the hospital…” Her gaze drifted down to his body.


    Seeing her hesitance, Tyler’s expression darkened. “What check–up?”


    Olivia had wanted to undergo a check–up for a while now. Mrs. Jones had suggested it, but her


    previous tests hade back normal.


    “Never mind,” she quickly replied, shaking her head.


    Tyler kept his gaze fixed on her, his eyes seeming distant. “Do you think something’s wrong with me?


    “No,” she murmured, feeling distressed. “I’m the one with the problem.”


    She didn’t want to prolong the agony. She wanted to put an end to it. “I’ll go get a check–up


    tomorrow.”


    Tyler observed her troubled expression, then leaned in close to her lips and murmured, “I’ll go. You

    don’t have to.”


    Olivia thought she must have misheard. She had undergone various tests before, but she suspected


    the results were inurate.


    He then kissed her and carried her into the room.


    The next morning, Olivia skipped ss and Tyler called in sick to work. When they went downstairs


    together, they sat at the table but didn’t eat breakfast.


    Olivia had no appetite, and Tyler noticed her untouched food. “Not hungry? You didn’t eat muchst


    night either.”


    Although Olivia felt famished, herck of interest in anything made it worse.


    Tyler insisted, “Finish everything on your te.”


    Olivia didn’t say anything, but it took her a long time to finish her food. When she finally did, Tyler put


    down the paper he was reading.


    After breakfast, Olivia retrieved her bag from upstairs and approached Tyler. He asked, “Do you want to


    come with me?”


    Olivia nodded. “Can I?”


    Tyler didn’t refuse, so Olivia apanied him, getting into the car together.

    The driver asked, “Where to, Mr. Tyler?”


    “The hospital.”


    Olivia thought something was off but couldn’t put a finger on it. She realized herplexion looked


    unnatural, so she nced at the driver before looking away.


    Tyler noticed her unease and leaned closer, raising his eyebrows. “What’s on your mind?”


    Olivia’s heart raced as he drew near. She shifted ufortably and whispered, “Nothing.”


    Tyler studied her face intently, sensing her guilt, but decided not to press further.


    Unaware of the dynamics in the back seat, the driver noticed a change in the atmosphere today when


    he nced at the rearview mirror.


    When they arrived at the hospital, Tyler instructed the driver to wait in the car. Since they weren’t


    heading to Naomi’s hospital, the driver grew curious.


    Olivia followed closely behind Tyler, worried that the driver would suspect something.


    Seeing how she was darting around, Tyler said in a hushed tone, “You might as well announce to the


    world that I’m here to get a check–up.”


    Olivia looked up at him, then lowered his head.


    The check–up process was lengthy, and when the nurse gave instructions, Olivia listened attentively.


    Tyler took the container from the nurse and nodded.


    When they got to the door, Olivia didn’t realize they were already in the procedure room. She was


    going to go in when Tyler said to her, “Stand here and wait.”


    Olivia took a few steps back. “Okay,” she replied softly as Tyler went in.
