Chapter 36
Outside the emergency room, Mrs. Jones was in tears, unable to
contain her emotions. Darren tried to console her, urging her not to
worry.
Though Tyler hoped that Naomi would be okay, he wasn't a heartless
person. He didn't want to harm another person just to save her. That's
why he had urged Olivia to think it through.
Moreover, besides him, who cared deeply for her, Naomiâs parents
hadn't considered the risks either, including Darren, who was Olivia's
father.
At that moment, he couldn't help but feel that the whole situation
seemed somewhat inhumane, even though he fervently wished for
Naomi's life to no longer be at risk. He stood there quietly, closing his
eyes for a moment.
A nurse asked Olivia, âAre you anemic?â
She wasn't sure; she knew very little about her own body. She replied
softly, âI donât think so.â
âOkay, let's take a look.â
The nurse proceeded to draw her blood for testing. Olivia watched as
the needle punctured her vein, causing a sharp, painful sensation that
made her body tense up. But she endured it, keeping quiet.
The nurse said to her, âHang in there.â
And Olivia remained silent.
Once all the tests were completed, she was taken into the emergency
room. Uncertain of what was about to happen, she could only follow
the orders of the doctors and nurses.
As she entered the emergency room, her eyes fell upon Naomi, who
was lying at the first aid station. Naomi looked pale, her lips devoid of
color, and Olivia grew paler too when she saw her.
As she lay on the adjacent bed, she could only hope and pray that
Naomi would be okay.
She had no idea how much blood they would take from her. Gradually,
she begari to feel dizzy, the room spinning around her. The only sound
she heard was the constant beeping of the medical equipment.
The nurse asked the doctor, âMore?â
The doctor answered, âYes.â
Seeing that Olivia was becoming increasingly pale, the nurse felt
uneasy, but they had no other options. With determination, she
continued to draw more blood.
Olivia had no sense of time passing. She felt utterly drained, and
exhaustion overtook her, causing her to drift into sleep.

When she finally awoke, there was only one nurse beside her. All the
doctors had gathered around Naomi
They were both brought out of the emergency room at the same time.
Tyler rushed to Naomi's side, but he paused when he reached her. His
gaze shifted to the bed behind Naomi.
Olivia lay there, completely pale and appearing exhausted.
Tyler hadn't expected this outcome. He bit his lip, standing by Naomi's
side.
Outside the emergency room, Mrs. Jones and Darren had been
anxiously waiting for a long time. approached Naomi with great
concer.
Mrs. Jones threw herself at her daughter, sobbing uncontrollably.
âNaomi! Naomi!â
They
She stirred momentarily, whispering when she opened her eyes and
saw her parents, âMom, Dad, I'm okay.â
Darren held her hand. "Did it hurt, Naomi?â
Naomi remained silent, gazing at Tyler. He quickly bent down and
gently caressed her face. âDo you feel better now?"
She said, âYes, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you again.â
