Chapter 199
Claude froze.
âI'm sorry that I didnât tell you. I didnât hide it from you intentionally,â
Olivia said, her voice trembling slightly. âThank you for not telling Soof
about it.â
Indeed, he hadn't informed Sophie. Even though the Harrises had sent
an invitation to his family, Sophie was unaware of her best friend's
wedding banquet.
Claude's silence hung heavy in the air. He then asked, âCan you tell me
the reason that you did that, Olivia? You knew about Tyler and Naomi,
why did you..."
Olivia couldn't bring herself to respond. She sat in stunned silence, her
thoughts racing as Claude's
words sank in.
âOlivia, is this what you want for your life? How old are you? Are you
really ruining your life like this?"
Claude's voice broke through her shock, his words piercing.
As she struggled to process his accusations, Claude continued, his
tone laced with concern. âAre you dismissing yourself just to save
Naomi?â
Olivia's eyes widened in shock. He knew?
He knew everything?
Claude's revelations hit her like a tidal wave. âI investigated Naomi's
condition. She's basically dying... Tyler did everything he could to find
suitable bone marrow for her. He even went abroad in search of it, but
he didn't find any. You're her sister by blood, the only one who might
be able to save
her. Apart from saving Naomi, I canât think of any other reasons for you
to be with Tyler.â
Olivia's breath caught in her throat, her hands trembling as she
struggled to maintain her composure. She remained silent, unable to
find the words to respond.
âSo, are you going to give birth to a child with him to save Naomi?â
She felt her ears ringing, and her hands turned limp. She almost
dropped her phone but managed to sit up straight on the bed with
effort. Gazing out, she peered into the vast darkness beyond the
window.
Claude was right about everything, except one crucial detail-she was
already pregnant.
Olivia's breath came in ragged gasps, her mind reeling.
His voice cut through the silence once more. âTyler is doing
everything he can to save Naomi because he loves her. What's your
role in this? You'll only be hurt, do you understand?â
Olivia felt a pang of guilt as Claude's words struck home. He was
blaming her, blaming her for not loving herself.
But as reality crashed down around her, Olivia found herself snapping
back to the present. âI'm sorry,

Claude,â she whispered.
Claude couldn't believe she apologized to him. âShould you apologize
to me?"
Olivia's pale lips trembled as she struggled to find the right words. âBut
there's nothing else that we could do. Naomi would die if we donât do
this.â
âOlivia, you're the most important person in the world, even though
sheâs your sister.â
With those final words, Claude hung up, leaving Olivia alone with her
thoughts. She listened to the silence that followed, her phone slipping
from her hand and landing softly on the bed.
Later that night, Tyler returned home to find the maid waiting for him in
the living room.
"Did she eat?â he asked.
âShe didn't eat much today,â the maid replied.
