Chapter 197
Olivia vomited all the soup she drank, struggling to catch her breath.
Tyler gently held her face. “Are you feeling any better now?”
Lost in a daze, Olivia couldn't immediately respond. Tyler studied her expression, recognizing the
distress on her face.
He caressed her pale face and wiped away the traces of vomit from the corner of her lips. Cradling her face, he

Sobbing softly, Olivia felt the warmth of his hand against her cheek, tears streaming down her face and onto his
palm.
“You'll start feeling better soon,” he assured her, his heart aching at her suffering

Nobody had told her that pregnancy would be so hard. Seeking solace, she sought refuge in his embrace,
continuing to cry.
Tyler hugged her even tighter, his hand lightly resting on her still-flat abdomen.
Olivia, drained of energy, wondered how much longer she would endure this ordeal, feeling numb
within his embrace.
Meanwhile, Tyler's eyes grew cold as he contemplated their situation.
Despite avoiding the soups Hillary had brought, Olivia's condition didn’t improve. Tyler arranged for

“No,” Olivia replied, still no appetite.
“Then perhaps something to drink?” the maid suggested.
Again, Olivia declined.

The maid went to get her phone from a drawer and handed it to her.

Reluctant but obedient, the maid complied. “Okay.”
As soon as she left, Olivia turned on her phone, and countless text messages popped up. They were classmates
and friends from the club, asking her about her absence,
She was aware that Tyler had arranged for her leave of absence after finding out that she was pregnant.
In that instant, the gravity of her situation dawned on her: the existence of the child would mean the end of her
university life.
Unwilling to face the questions from the text messages, she locked her phone. However, after a few moments of
contemplation, she unlocked it, noticing a missed call from Claude a couple of days ago. Just as she was about to
call him, Sophie’s call cthrough unexpectedly.
