Chapter 267
The family was really worried about the failed NT scan, especially
Maisy. One afternoon, she decided to go to the church to pray, even
though she usually stayed at home.
At the same time, Claude was leaving the church. He noticed it was
being closed and saw some cars parked outside.
When he looked closer, he thought the cars belonged to the Harris
family. Curious, he asked the priest, âWhy are you closing the church
now?â
The priest told him, âMs. Maisy is here to pray for her soon-to-beâborn
great- grandchild, sir.â
Claude realized what was happening. He saw bodyguards and maids
bringing in lots of offerings and figured it had to be the Harrises going
all out for this prayer. He thought,â Are they doing all this because the
baby might be in trouble?"
After that, Claude went on his way.
Later, Olivia received a text message from Claude asking how she was
doing. They hadn't talked much since the party they both went to, so
Olivia was excited to hear from him.
She replied, [I'm doing well, Claude. Thanks for asking.]
[If you need any help, just let me know.]
Olivia felt really supported by that and thanked him. [Thank you,
Claude]
Their chat didnât end there. They kept talking, and Olivia shared a lot
about how she was feeling and what was on her mind. Claude was
there for her, offering kind words and
support.
Olivia was so tired that she fell asleep while texting and holding her
phone.
Tyler walked into the room and saw her sleeping. He went to tuck her in
and noticed she was still holding her phone tightly, as if she fell asleep
while waiting for something.
Tyler gently took the phone from her and finished tucking her in. Olivia
was sleeping so soundly that she didn't notice. She flipped over and
slept on her side.
He watched her for a while and decided to leave her to rest and went to
the study, thinking to leave the phone on the desk. But then, he got
curious and unlocked her phone.
Right away, her chat with Claude popped up. He looked quietly for a
long time, and just
then, the phone rang.
He stared at Claudeâs name and answered it coldly, âHello?â
Claude was silent for a moment, surprised to hear Tyler instead of
Olivia.
Tyler, sounding a bit sarcastic, said, âLooks like you've got a lot of free
time.â
âI was worried something happened to Olivia when she stopped
replying, so I called to check.â
âShe's doing great. You don't have to worry about her,â Tyler replied.
âShe's been telling me how she feels. I donât need to hear it from you,â
Claude retorted.
Tyler hung up after a short response. He looked cold as the sound of
the call ending filled the quiet study.
