Chapter 6
Olivia lived in a daze, and soon, half a month had passed.
One morning, she took a pregnancy test to the bathroom. She had used it a couple of times now, so
she had become familiar with the process. She felt ashamed and uneasy as her hands trembled while
holding the manual, making it difficult for her to read.
During the anxious and excited few minutes of waiting, she stared at the result. When she saw the
clear single line on it, she didn‘, allowed
the instructions and tected a
again.
When the same result appeared before her eyes, she closed her eyes while standing in the bathroom,
her expression devastated.
Why did this happen? No, she was still not pregnant.
As if she had lost her soul, she went downstairs.
Mrs. Jones jumped up from the couch when she saw her and rushed over. “How did it go, Olivia? Did
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou take the test?” Worry filled her voice.
Olivia remained silent for a moment. Mrs. Jones urged her, holding her hands. “Are you pregnant?”
“No.” She then handed the pregnancy test to her.
Mrs. Jones felt as if something heavy had crushed her when she saw the single line on the test. She
stepped back involuntarily.
In the end, she mumbled, “What do we do now?”
Olivia shared the news with Naomi when she arrived at the hospital. Disappointment clouded her
sister’s pale face upon hearing the news.
Olivia didn’t know what to say. She could only stammer out an apology. “I’m sorry, Naomi.”
Naomi mustered a weak smile and comforted her gently. “It’s okay, Olivia. Don’t stress too much.”
Tyler happened to arrive at the hospital at that moment. Mrs. Jones was waiting at the door and
approached him when she saw him.
“Tyler, she’s still not pregnant.” Her words caused him to furrow his brows, and he appeared somber.
She continued, her voice trembling, “Tyler, Naomi can’t wait much longer… I don’t think you want to
lose her too.”
“I know. Please calm down.”
Olivia immediately looked over when she heard the conversation outside. She saw Tyler talking to Mrs.
Jones with his head down.
She shuddered and averted her gaze.

After some more conversation, Mrs. Jones entered the ward and said, “Olivia, Tyler would like to talk to
you.”
Olivia clenched her fists and nodded. She left the ward and walked over to where Tyler was waiting for
her at the door.
Suddenly, he extended his arm, taking her by surprise as she didn’t know what he was going to do.
Unbeknownst to her, he closed the door behind them, shielding their conversation from Mrs. Jones
and Naomi’s view.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Did you take the test this morning?” He spoke first after shutting the door, his gaze lowered, and his
eyes remained gentle.
Olivia struggled to respond, saying, “Yes.”
He asked again. “How many times did you do it?”
“Twice,” she answered, still looking down. “I’ve been taking supplements, but I’m still not pregnant.
Tyler tried to comfort her, saying, “It’s okay. It has nothing to do with you, it’s my problem.”
She fell into silence after his words. As a young woman, she had only been in a relationship once. She
and Jacob had never engaged in any intimate activities, so she didn’t immediately grasp what he was
implying.
She merely looked up at him with confusion.
“I understand that you didn’t want this, so I didn’t push you earlier because I didn’t want to frighten
you,” he said with a hidden meaning.
Her realization was slow, and she only recalled what Mrs. Jones had mentioned. “Do you mean we
haven’t spent enough time together?” she asked, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s.
