Chapter 307

When Ana left the room, Olivia sat on the floor, looking like she had lost all her strength.

In the evening, Tyler went to see Naomi. Right away, Naomi asked, “How’s Olivia doing today?” She always worried about Olivia.

Tyler replied, “She’s okay.”

Naomi noticed Tyler seemed off and asked, “What’s wrong? Something’s bothering you, isn’t it?”

“Nothing,” was all Tyler answered.

Naomi could tell he didn’t want to talk about it, so she changed the subject. She picked up something from the bed and asked with a smile, “Guess what this is?”

Tyler looked over and saw a postcard in her hand.

Smiling, Naomi said, “I got this today. Remember? We wrote it together in a little shop during our vacation ten years ago. They promised to send it after ten years, and they did.” “Wow, ten years. It’s hard to believe it’s been that long,” she added.

Tyler didn’t say anything for a while. He took the postcard and saw their messages to each other, calling each other “daddy” and “mommy,” and talking about their hopes for the future.

They had hoped to be married with a child by now.

But things hadn’t turned out as planned…

Tyler looked at the postcard, feeling mixed emotions, and finally said, “This is really special.

”

Naomi reminisced, her tone melancholy. “I’m surprised the shop is still around. We’re still together, but we haven’t made our dream of having a family come true.”

Tyler put the postcard on the nightstand and told Naomi, “We’ll have a child when you get better.”

Naomi smiled. “Yes, I’m sure of it. I’ve been feeling much better.”

Tyler didn’t talk much that day. He was quiet and seemed lost in thought.

Naomi tried again, “What’s really bothering you?”

“Just work stuff,” Tyler replied, then went to sit on the couch and read a magazine, Naomi knew he was in a bad mood but didn’t ask further. Instead, she suggested, “How about we go out tonight?”

“You need to stay and rest with your health like this,” he replied, not even looking up from his magazine.

Naomi just smiled, keeping her thoughts to herself.

Meanwhile, Olivia was overwhelmed by her own worries. She couldn’t stop thinking about what Claude had said.

Standing in her room, touching her belly, she convinced herself she needed to leave. She planned to go with her baby as soon as it was born.

She wondered why time was moving so slowly.

After leaving the hospital, Tyler got into his car, and Adam drove him to the Pearces‘ house. Claude came outside when they arrived and walked up to Tyler’s side of the car.
