Chapter 142

Olivia rushed down the stairs, desperately trying to catch up to Tyler’s departing car. “Wait! Wait for me!” she screamed.

But the car didn’t stop, and it seemed like nobody noticed her.

The maid hurried out of the door after hearing the commotion. “Ms. Olivia!”

I “Is there any other car I can use?” Olivia asked frantically.

“The d–driver’s gone home, Ms. Olivia. You should just wait till m–morning. Mr. Tyler could-”

“I’ll take a cab!”

Before the maid could stop her, Olivia darted into the night.

When Olivia arrived, it was already 7:30 pm, and the sky was beginning to brighten.

She hurried to Naomi’s room, but found it empty, with only the curtains billowing and an eerie chill in the air. There was no sign of any nurses.

Panic rising, Olivia dashed to the nurses‘ counter, but it was deserted too. It felt like she was the only person left in the world.

She ran toward the ER, where the light above the door was red. Just then, she spotted a middle–aged woman coming out, crying uncontrollably.

“M–Mrs. Jones?” Olivia called out tentatively.”

The woman collapsed to the floor.

“Mrs. Jones!” Olivia cried, rushing to her side.

Hillary grabbed Olivia’s wrist, tears streaming down her face. “Your sister… Naomi… She’s gone…”

1 That couldn’t be true! That was impossible! Naomi had just been talking to her this morning!

Another figure emerged from the ER.

“Dad!” Olivia exclaimed.

Darren hurried over to help his wife. “Please, get up.”

Hillary bawled in his arms. “What are we going to do?! Why is this happening?”

“She’s Their moment was interrupted by a doctor stepping out. Removing his mask, he announced, fine, sir, ma’am. We managed to save her, but… I can’t guarantee the same next time. Please bear that in mind.”

Darren and Hillary stopped crying, and then Hillary seized the doctor’s hand. “Save her! Please, save her!”

“We’re going to need umbilical cord blood, ma’am,” the doctor explained.

Hillary’s gaze fell onto Olivia before she pleaded, “You need to do it now! An IVP! She can’t wait any longer!” she cried hysterically.

Olivia stood frozen as another person emerged from the ER.

Hillary staggered toward him. “Tyler, please, just do an IVF already! I don’t care if it needs a marriage certificate. She needs a child right now!”
