Naomi couldn''t discern who it was from her distance, so she gently asked, "Working again, Tyler?"


    "No. It''s my mother," he stated frankly, grabbing the phone and springing to his feet, leaving.


    Naomi''s hands halted their movements, even catching the nurse''s attention.


    Tyler took the call, and his mother wasted no time getting to the point, "I sent Olivia to bring you afternoon


    tea. Have you checked it out yet?"


    "I instructed her to deliver it to the front desk. Didn''t she do that?"


    Ana chuckled. "I told her to hand it to you personally. If you aren''t there, tough luck! She''ll have to wait


    until you''re back."


    Tyler''s expression darkened. It was a clear threat.


    "What do you think you''re doing?" he growled coldly.


    Anaughed. "Sending you afternoon tea. Didn''t I say that?"


    Was Tyler afraid? No.


    Ana understood that Tyler and Naomi, the ones who should be most concerned about the pregnant


    young woman and her baby''s well-being, couldn''t bear the thought of losing them.


    "You''re unbelievable."


    "Hey, you can always choose not to go," Ana said sweetly.


    Tyler scowled.


    "Take your time to mull it over. If you''re truly that busy, then stay there. She can wait."


    With that, Ana ended the call, leaving Tyler alone with the beep of the


    ??


    phone. He removed it from ving


    ear,


    his forehead creased despite his stoic expression.


    Naomi had been waiting for his return.


    Finally, about five minutester,


    Tyler came back in. She watched et


    him quietly, uncertain if the initial


    "work" call was from Ana or not, and what her intentions were. Content

    Tyler didn''t reim his seat on the couch. After a moment of contemtion, he announced, "I need to


    be out for a while. The nurse will keep youpany." Naomi was taken aback. "Did something


    happen?"

    Whatever Ana had said couldn''t have been innocuous. She must have instigated something against


    Tyler perhaps to retaliate for him spending so much time with Naomitely.


    "Don''t worry about it. Just rest," he replied shortly, choosing not to borate.


    Naomi instinctively gripped the edge of her nket. She studied his expression and sensed he was


    concealing something. "What did she do this time?"


    "Nothing. Please, rest."


    With that, Tyler departed.


    The ward had always been rather somber and dim, but Tyler''s departure entuated its destion. Naomi


    felt a chill of loneliness.


    "Ms. Naomi? Shall we continue with our knitting?"


    Tyler had been wearing a scowl since leaving the hospital.


    Linda had anticipated him leaving by evening and found his return unexpected. "You''re back already?"
