Chapter 47
Olivia slowly withdrew her hand. âI forgot about it.â
Tyler also pulled his hand back. âAlright, go to school now.â
âOkay, Tyler.â
She got out of the car politely, now much more cautious, keeping a
watchful eye on her injured finger.
Tyler drove away after she entered the school.
As Olivia walked into the school building, she could still feel the warmth
on her wrist where Tyler had held her hand. She wanted to shake off
that feeling, but it seemed as if it had left an imprint on her
skin.
In the afternoon, she decided to skip school with her friend Sophie, as
the classes were not particularly important. Instead, they went
shopping together.
Sophie asked Olivia, âSo, where do you live now?"
Olivia was browsing through a dress rack when she replied, âOh, I'm
staying at home.â
âI thought you've been staying on campus recently,â Sophie said,
looking at a dress.
Olivia sighed softly. âNo, I've been staying at home.â
While they were strolling down the street, they passed by a pharmacy
with an eyeâcatching poster on the door. Olivia's gaze was drawn to it
as if she were under a spell.
âPromote ovulation, a helping hand in your pregnancy,â read the
catchphrase on the poster.
Sophie noticed Olivia's gaze on the poster and asked, âWhat are you
looking at?â
Caught off guard, Olivia panicked. âNothing.â
Sophie didnât seem to sense anything unusual and simply grabbed
Olivia's hand. âLet's check out the store over there. I heard they have
new arrivals.â
Olivia allowed herself to be led away, but she stopped abruptly as they
reached the store. âSophie, I just remembered there's something I need
to buy. Wait for me here, I'll be back soon.â
Without giving Sophie a chance to inquire further, Olivia hurried away
and disappeared from the
store.
She returned five minutes later. Sophie was busy examining herself in
the mirror. Upon seeing Olivia return, she asked, âWhat did you buy?â
Olivia shook her head. âNothing much, just some cold medicine.â
Sophie was shocked. âYou have a cold again?!â
âNo, go ahead and try on the clothes.â Worried that Sophie might press
for more information, Olivia

Back at Sandalwood Palace in the evening, the maidâworried that
Olivia would help in the kitchen again said to her, âMs. Olivia, just rest. I
don't need help.â
âOkay.â
Though Olivia had wanted to kill time, she accepted the maid's refusal.
Feeling a bit bored, she ventured upstairs to change her clothes.
Today, the maid had prepared a batch of floral cookies, and Olivia had
planned to share them with
her friends.
Fearing she might forget to put them in her bag in the morning, the
maid called upstairs, âMs. Olivia, I've made some floral cookies. Can I
put them in your bag?â
Still in the process of changing, Olivia shouted back, âSure, please put
them in my bag.â
The maid opened Olivia's bag, which was resting on the couch, and
discovered a box of medication Puzzled, she examined it closely.
âWhat's this?"
As she contemplated the unfamiliar box of medication, she heard the
sound of a car engine outside
Wondering why Tyler had come home early that day, she decided to
leave the medicine on the tabl and went to the door to see what was
happening.
