“None,” she replied.
“The hospital, sir?” asked the driver.
“Yes.”
Tyler waited as the doctor examined her. “The skin around her abdomen is sensitive. If she wears tight clothing,

“No other injuries?” Tyler confirmed.

“None at all,” the doctor answered.
His assistant chimed in, “Will this affect procedures like IVF?”
Tyler frowned at her, and she fell silent. It seemed that was his main concern for bringing Olivia to the hospital.
“It’s just a superficial injury. Nothing major. She can proceed with the procedure after she’s healed,”
the doctor reassured.
“| see. Thank you.”
The doctor left, and Tyler dismissed his assistant before turning to Olivia. “So, what happened?” he asked, as if
their earlier conversation hadn't occurred.
Olivia looked away for a few minutes before replying, “A cup tipped over. Hot water spilled down the
table.”
“Who did that?” he followed up, his tone and gaze now a lot gentler.
Olivia closed her eyes. “Sophie and | ran into Claude and his date while choosing a place to eat. His date
accidentally knocked the cup over.”
“His date?”
Olivia remained silent.
“Letguess. It’s a long story,” he concluded.
Olivia hadn't expected any of this to happen. She thought of Claude as he carried her earlier, feeling a flutter of
emotions, but she looked away, feeling bashful.
“What is it?”
Avoiding his gaze, Olivia replied, “Nothing.”

Tyler sensed something was amiss; her panicked expression was a clear indicator. His gaze
intensified, and upon seeing this, Olivia realized it was best to drop the conversation.

A hint of warmth returned to his face. “I was wrong to assthe worst. I'm sorry.”
Olivia didn’t respond, still feeling hurt by his accusations. They felt like attacks on her character.
“I know | said sthings | shouldn't have, but | hope we can move past this,” he continued.
“Why did you say those things so easily then? Why did you act that way? Did you really believe | would do
something like that?” Olivia asked, searching his eyes for answers.
Yet, she couldn't read anything out of them.
