Chapter 116
Tylerâs response was calm as he handed over the prescribed
medication. After a brief up, âWe'll need a marriage certificate for IVF.â
pause,
he spoke
Naomi was stunned.
Meeting her gaze, Tyler continued, âIVF might not work on the first try.
I could talk to Olivia about this, but sheâs only in her twenties. We
canât predict the risks she might face. You wouldn't want her to
experience those, right?â
Naomi hadn't fully considered these aspects. âI didn't know all of
that,â she admitted awkwardly.
Tyler left the ward with a somber expression. His assistant murmured
something to him, but he walked away without acknowledging it.
Olivia was oblivious to Naomi's situation. She had spent the entire day
at school and then in the lab until late at night. Upon returning to
Sandalwood Palace, she headed straight to her room, avoiding
any common areas.
Tyler returned home late that night. The maid informed him, âMiss
Olivia has already gone to bed.â
Without a word, Tyler went to his room.
This had become their routine for the past two days. Their interactions
were limited to brief encounters in the morning. At night, they never
crossed paths; Olivia either returned home too early or Tyler arrived
too late.
It was Olivia's deliberate choice. She preferred not to see Tyler if she
could avoid it.
This routine continued for about a week. Then, one afternoon, Olivia
received an unexpected call.
"Hello, is this Olivia Jones?â
Startled, she hesitated before responding. She hadnât expected to hear
Claude at all. "Who... who is this?â
A gentle voice replied, âIt's Sophie's brother, Claude.â
Olivia's heart raced. âHow can I help you?â She stood at the edge of
the library's entrance,
surrounded by silence.
âI found a necklace, and I think it might be yours,â Claude explained.
Olivia's grip tightened on her phone. âDoes it have a heart-shaped
pendant?â
âYes, it's made from platinum.â
âI's mine, Claude! Please, where are you?â

They agreed to meet at a cafe. Olivia entered and immediately spotted
Claude. âClaude?â
He stood up as she approached. âOlivia!â
A smile spread across her face. âI hope I didn't make you wait.â
