âI won't see you off then,â Tyler said indifferently as Ana smiled and
left.
Realizing how weak Olivia still was, he told her, âGo ahead and rest.â
Olivia responded briefly, still feeling dazed from earlier vomiting. She
lay in bed while Tyler sat nearby, keeping watch over her.
Gripping the blanket tightly, she closed her eyes, her back turned to
him. Despite her pretense, she remained alert, listening to every sound
in the room.
Tyler didn't call her out on pretending to sleep. He remained quietly by
her side, giving her space.
The night passed in silence. The next morning, Maisy arrived to take
care of Olivia.
Olivia felt blank when she saw Maisy, momentarily forgetting where she
was and recoiling.
Thinking she had frightened Olivia, Maisy hurriedly reassured her,
âWhat's wrong, Olivia? It's me, Grandma. Did I scare you?"
Olivia took some time to calm down. Realizing why Maisy was there,
she sighed in relief, âI-1 was confused. I'm sorry, Grandma.â
As Tyler entered the room, his attention turned to Maisy. He
approached her, asking, âWhy are you here?â He had been away for a
while.
Maisy smiled. âI'm going to have a greatâgrandchild soon, so of course
I have to be here. Your dad will come later.â
The unborn child was the Harrises' greatest joy.
âI've called him and asked him not to come. Olivia needs rest, she
shouldn't be meeting too many people,â Tyler stated plainly.
âOkay, okay. The baby and Olivia are the most important right now. It's
good that fewer people come,
Maisy agreed.

Tyler went to get breakfast, accompanied by Linda carrying a couple of
thermos.
âOkay, I won't stay. Take good care of Olivia. She's young, you should
watch out for her,â Maisy said.
âMm-hmm, you may leave.â
Maisy nodded. âOkay, okay. I'll get going now.â She patted Olivia's hand
and said kindly, âTell us if you don't feel well, Olivia. Don't keep
everything to yourself.â
Olivia nodded gratefully, âThanks, Grandma.â
Her chaotic heart had calmed somewhat since the night before. She
hadn't expected Maisy to arrive so soon. It showed how important the
child was to the Harrises.

Nonetheless, Olivia discreetly pinched the back of her hand, thinking
maybe this was just a dream.
As Tyler escorted Maisy out of the room, Linda began pouring soup for
Olivia. When he returned, he
said, âI bought soup without any fishy smell. Drink some.â
