Chapter 39

The room was filled with an eerie silence. In the room were the doctor,

Tyler, Mrs. Jones, and Darren, all wearing solemn expressions.

Naomi, lying on the bed, had tears in her eyes, and despair filled her

face.

The doctor spoke with a grave tone, “We're hopeful, but it's just the

beginning. Although Naomi has overcome the crisis, her road ahead is

uncertain. She can’t live much longer without a bone marrow transplant

or cord blood infusion.”

Tyler remained silent for a long moment before addressing the doctor,

“We understand. You may leave now.”

The doctor left the room, leaving the others in solemn contemplation.

Olivia, standing near the door, spoke up softly, “W-What's going on?"

Tyler's gaze shifted to Olivia upon hearing her voice.

Driven by instinct, Olivia stepped closer to the bed. However, to

everyone's surprise, Mrs. Jones suddenly dropped to her knees before

Olivia, wailing at the top of her lungs, “Save your sister, Olivia!

The sudden act of kneeling shocked Olivia, and Tyler observed the

scene with a cold expression.

Mrs. Jones didn't care about anything else; all she wanted was for

Olivia to help save Naomi. Clutching Olivia's clothes, she implored,

“Naomi can't wait any longer. Why don’t you do IVF? I know it's

torturous, but it's the quickest option.”

Naomi protested, “Mom, what are you saying? Olivia isn’t a tool for me.

You can't force her into this!”

But Mrs. Jones remained unyielding, her desperation apparent. She

begged, “The doctor mentioned that cord blood could save Naomi too.

I'm begging you, Olivia!” She shook Olivia intensely, leaving

her bewildered.

Naomi intervened, “This is my life, Mom. You can’t impose this on

Olivia. How young she is! How can you ask her to undergo IVF when

she’s so young?”

The idea of countless needles and potential pain associated with IVF

was daunting.

Mrs. Jones sobbed, “But what other options do we have now? She

can’t get pregnant. Tyler and Olivia need to speed things up!” Her

words felt like an uncomfortable truth laid bare, causing uneasiness

among those present.

Mrs. Jones seemed to have another idea and grabbed Olivia again, her

actions bordering on hysteria.” Olivia, why don’t you move in with Tyler

for a month? If you still can't get pregnant by then, we'll proceed with

IVE”

Olivia felt like a rag doll in Mrs. Jones's grasp, as if she were about to

be torn apart.

Meanwhile, Tyler's expression darkened as he watched Mrs. Jones's

irrational behavior from the

sidelines.

Mrs. Jones then turned to Naomi, as if seeking her approval. “What do

you think, Naomi? Let them live together before Olivia tries IVE.”

Naomi fell silent. In the face of death, desires burned Intensely. She

shuddered before turning her gaze toward Tyler, on the verge of tears.

Tyler met her gaze. “Naomi, do you not find this ridiculous?”

Of course, Naomi understood the absurdity of the situation, but she felt

trapped with limited options. She looked at Tyler for a prolonged

moment before finally saying, “If you're against it... we can try

IVE”

IVF carried certain risks, including potential complications from

medications and added risk to endometrial cancer during embryo

transfer, although the risk was relatively low.

Tyler said coldly, “Naomi!”
