Chapter 123
They were too close that their lips could almost touch.
The shadows from outside cast across their faces, and Olivia could
smell the wine on his breath. Their noses brushed against each other
as they breathed in sync. The car was filled with an intense silence.
However, Tyler didn't move any closer, just gazing at her. Olivia's pink
lips pressed together slightly as he watched.
The air was charged with intimacy, and then Tyler's hand, which had
been stroking her face, moved downward. She frowned a little, but with
her lips still pressed together, she leaned into his touch.
In this enclosed space, some things were better left unspoken.
Tyler's voice was low. âRemember what I said today?â
Olivia kept her face in his hand, remaining silent.
Slowly, Tyler withdrew his hand, and the intimacy faded as the driver
entered the car.
They sat in silence as the driver spoke up, âMr. Tyler, are we heading to
Sandalwood Palace?â
Tyler nodded and confirmed, and their car pulled away from the
restaurant.
While they were on the road, Olivia finally asked, âTyler, are the rumors
at school true?â
Tyler opened his eyes and asked, âWhat rumors?â
âThey said they were raising funds for my sister.â Olivia thought about
her sister's medical condition and whether she could handle the
treatments.
Tyler didn't deny it but looked weary as he nodded.
Feeling guilty, Olivia quietly asked, âWhat about IVF? I can try it if we
have to.
Tyler met her gaze. âWe need a marriage certificate to start the IVF
process,â he explained calmly. Olivia's expression didn't change.
âWell... do we have any other options?âHer voice sounded sad.
Tyler closed his eyes again. âWe've checked the bone marrow donation
database for potential matches in the first half of this year.â
Olivia sat in silence, absorbing the weight of the news. With no medical
procedures available, all they could do was hold onto hope.
