Chapter 277
Olivia felt like a coward in front of Tyler. She was so nervous that she
couldn't even speak. She just stood there, hoping to go unnoticed.
Tyler smiled warmly at her and let go of her wrists. âNo more teasing,
okay? We need to hurry, or we'll miss our appointment,â he said,
buttoning up his coat.
Outside, Nina was waiting for them.
Olivia, feeling a bit upset, didnât move. Tyler noticed she wasn't
following, turned around, and came back to gently take her hand, trying
to get her to walk with him.
Olivia was taken aback by this and tried to pull her hand away, but Tyler
held on firmly and gently pulled her closer to him. She accidentally
bumped into his arm and was a bit dazed.
Nina laughed softly at the scene.
Looking up, Olivia saw Nina smiling at them, which made her stop
resisting and quietly follow Tyler, like a well-behaved child.
They headed to the hospital for a special pregnancy test called
amniocentesis. Olivia had read that it involved a long needle, which
made her very nervous.
Tyler covered her with a blanket and tried to reassure her. âThe test
won't hurt much because there aren't many nerves in the stomach
area. The doctors are very good at this, so donât worry.â
Olivia knew they were in good hands with the hospital's staff but was
still scared. She tried to act cool and asked, âWill it take long?"
âJust about ten minutes,â Tyler replied, understanding her fear but
seeing through her act. He caressed her cheek with his thumb and
said, âIt's okay to be scared. You don't have to pretend with me.
Pregnancy can be tough, and Tyler wanted Olivia to know he was there
for her. He was so kind and supportive, that even the driver was
surprised to hear him speak so softlyâhe had never seen him being this
gentle with anyone.
âI'll stay with you the whole time,â Tyler promised.
Olivia relied on Tyler more than ever, especially with the baby, and she
thought about him every time the baby came to mind.
Chapter 277
She knew it wasn't right to rely on him so much, but she couldn't help
herself. It almost felt like the baby was playing a trick on her, making
her think of him more than she should.
Olivia closed her eyes when he gently touched her cheek and then slid
his hand to her neck, pulling her in for a closer embrace.
She rested her head against his chest, listening to his steady
heartbeat. The worry she felt began to melt away, and she felt more at
peace.
With a shaky voice, she asked, âWhat if there's an issue with the
baby?"
âWe'll welcome the baby no matter what. Our family can afford to care
for it.â
