Chapter 36

Outside the emergency room, Mrs. Jones was in tears, unable tocontain her emotions. Darren tried to console her, urging her not toworry.

Though Tyler hoped that Naomi would be okay, he wasn't a heartlessperson. He didn't want to harm another person just to save her. That'swhy he had urged Olivia to think it through.

Moreover, besides him, who cared deeply for her, Naomi’s parentshadn't considered the risks either, including Darren, who was Olivia'sfather.

At that moment, he couldn't help but feel that the whole situationseemed somewhat inhumane, even though he fervently wished forNaomi's life to no longer be at risk. He stood there quietly, closing hiseyes for a moment.

A nurse asked Olivia, “Are you anemic?”

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

“Okay, let's take a look.”

The nurse proceeded to draw her blood for testing. Olivia watched asthe needle punctured her vein, causing a sharp, painful sensation thatmade 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 were completed, she was taken into the emergencyroom. Uncertain of what was about to happen, she could only followthe orders of the doctors and nurses.

As she entered the emergency room, her eyes fell upon Naomi, whowas lying at the first aid station. Naomi looked pale, her lips devoid ofcolor, and Olivia grew paler too when she saw her.

As she lay on the adjacent bed, she could only hope and pray thatNaomi 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 soundshe heard was the constant beeping of the medical equipment.

The nurse asked the doctor, “More?”

The doctor answered, “Yes.”

Seeing that Olivia was becoming increasingly pale, the nurse feltuneasy, but they had no other options. With determination, shecontinued to draw more blood.

Olivia had no sense of time passing. She felt utterly drained, andexhaustion overtook her, causing her to drift into sleep.
