Tyler removed his hands from Olivia's blanket. He looked natural as hestood there.

Naomi wore a smile as she asked, “Is something wrong with her? I gotworried, so I came.”

Tyler didn’t keep any secrets and replied, “Something happened withJacob. We just handled it.” He then suggested, “It's good that you'rehere. Please talk some sense into her.”

Naomi, naturally knowing who Jacob was, walked over and headedstraight for Olivia's bed. As she approached, Tyler stepped back,maintaining a respectful distance from Olivia.

Naomi took a seat beside Olivia and gently held her hands. “What'sgoing on? Tell me.”

She appeared concerned, emanating warmth and care, which causedOlivia to feel a tad flustered. Nevertheless, she remained composed inher responses. She explained, “Something happened to him. He had aconflict with someone at a bar. Tyler helped me out.”

Worrying that Naomi might be upset about it, considering she was theone who had begged Tyler for assistance, Olivia braced herself.However, Naomi didn't seem bothered by the situation at all. “Heshould help you. You're my sister, and that makes you his sister too.”Tyler, standing nearby, saw no issue with Naomi's words. He asked anurse to fetch a blanket.

Olivia was taken aback by the warmth she felt. It was the first time shehad an inclination to get closer to her sister. She said with gratitude,“Thank you, Naomi.”

Seeing Olivia like this filled Naomi with sorrow and regret. Sheembraced her. “Alright, my dear sister. I've always cared for you andwish the best for you. Don’t dwell too much on your relationship withJacob for now.”
