Chapter 90

That night, the lights in Naomi’s ward remained on until the middle ofthe night. Olivia had been standing and waiting anxiously. It was around3 A.M. when she finally caine out of the emergency room.

Naturally, Tyler stayed by her side throughout the ordeal. The medicalstaff had been moving briskly, and he seemed too preoccupied tonotice Olivia, who had been quietly standing in a corner. Or perhaps hehad noticed her but chose not to give her any attention.

Outside, the world was shrouded in darkness, contrasting sharply withTyler's worried, serious, and tired appearance.

From her spot in the corner, Olivia watched as the hospital bed, withNaomi lying unconscious, was wheeled past her. Another personwalked past her as well.

Her eyes remained fixed on the breathing’ machine attached toNaomi's bed and on Naomi herself, who looked deathly pale. Olivia fellinto a heavy silence, overwhelmed by sadness.

But she was also filled with relief that Naomi was going to be fine. Ifanything had happened to her, Olivia knew that she could never forgiveherself, regardless of Julia's feelings.

Shortly thereafter, Tyler's driver located Olivia. “It's late, Ms. Olivia. I'lltake you home.”

She asked, “Can I see Naomi? It won't take long.”

The driver paused, considering her request. Perhaps he was moved byher pitiful. appearance, as he eventually agreed to take her back toNaomi's ward.

Upon entering the ward, Olivia saw Darren and Julia standing besideNaomi's bed. Tyler was speaking softly to Naomi, his hand gentlycaressing her cheek.

Naomi was awake, but she appeared weak and drained. Her gazeshifted toward Olivia, who was standing at the door.

The moment she looked, they looked over too.

Naomi smiled at her and said, “I'm alright, Olivia. Go home and rest.”Olivia realized that she shouldn't enter the room. Hospital wards hadstrict rules about disinfection, and too many visitors could pose a risk toNaomi's health.

Knowing that it was best to keep her distance, she turned and left theroom.

The moment she left, Tyler lowered his head and said to Naomi, “Restnow.”

Naomi then shut her eyes.

Once they were home, Olivia felt utterly exhausted. She was stillunclear about what had happened, and as she entered the living room,she nearly stumbled. Fortunately, the driver was quick to support her.It was almost 4 A.M., and she knew the driver must be tired as well.She said to him, “Thank you for bringing me home. Please go and restnow.”

Concerned, he asked, “Are you sure you're okay?"

She said softly, “I'm fine.”

Understanding her wishes, the driver left promptly.

Alone in her room, Olivia sank to the floor as soon as she closed thedoor. She buried her face in her arms and allowed herself to cry,releasing all the pent-up emotions from the tumultuous night.
