Chapter 39

The room was filled with an eerie silence. In the room were the doctor,Tyler, Mrs. Jones, and Darren, all wearing solemn expressions.Naomi, lying on the bed, had tears in her eyes, and despair filled herface.

The doctor spoke with a grave tone, “We're hopeful, but it's just thebeginning. Although Naomi has overcome the crisis, her road ahead isuncertain. She can’t live much longer without a bone marrow transplantor cord blood infusion.”

Tyler remained silent for a long moment before addressing the doctor,“We understand. You may leave now.”

The doctor left the room, leaving the others in solemn contemplation.Olivia, standing near the door, spoke up softly, “W-What's going on?"Tyler's gaze shifted to Olivia upon hearing her voice.

Driven by instinct, Olivia stepped closer to the bed. However, toeveryone's surprise, Mrs. Jones suddenly dropped to her knees beforeOlivia, wailing at the top of her lungs, “Save your sister, Olivia!

The sudden act of kneeling shocked Olivia, and Tyler observed thescene with a cold expression.

Mrs. Jones didn't care about anything else; all she wanted was forOlivia to help save Naomi. Clutching Olivia's clothes, she implored,“Naomi can't wait any longer. Why don’t you do IVF? I know it'storturous, but it's the quickest option.”

Naomi protested, “Mom, what are you saying? Olivia isn’t a tool for me.You can't force her into this!”

sidelines.

Mrs. Jones then turned to Naomi, as if seeking her approval. “What doyou think, Naomi? Let them live together before Olivia tries IVE.”Naomi fell silent. In the face of death, desires burned Intensely. Sheshuddered before turning her gaze toward Tyler, on the verge of tears.Tyler met her gaze. “Naomi, do you not replace this ridiculous?”

Of course, Naomi understood the absurdity of the situation, but she felttrapped with limited options. She looked at Tyler for a prolongedmoment before finally saying, “If you're against it... we can try
