Chapter 258
Chapter 258
Olivia guessed Tyler must have visited Naomi at the hospital because he wasn’t home last night. She was okay with it. He returned to be with Naomi, after being away for a few
days.
However, she was puzzled by her increased sensitivity during her pregnancy. She felt anxious being alone in a room.
She couldn’t pinpoint her fear. She just felt a bit uneasy.
At this hour, the house was quiet, leaving her alone with her thoughts. No sound echoed through its halls.
Olivia looked down at her hands resting on the blanket, her body trembling slightly.
As time slipped by, a noise from downstairs startled her. She listened closely, hoping it was Tyler returning. The noise faded, and she wrapped herself in the sheets once more.
He hadn’t come home.
In the morning, Olivia woke up to find the space beside her empty. Tyler must have spent the night at the hospital with Naomi.
The maid entered, pulling Olivia from her thoughts. “It’s time to get up, ma’am,” she
said with a smile.
Since the baby had been in danger before, everyone in the family was very careful with it. The maid always came to help her when she woke up. She was supposed to rest and not move much, so she
had been washing up in bed these days.
Olivia returned the smile.
“Did you sleep well?” the maid asked.
“Not too badly,” Olivia replied without thinking. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
As the maid helped her, Linda entered. “You might need a check–up soon, ma’am,” Linda
mentioned.
“What kind of check–up?”
“An NT scan,” Linda said.
“NT?”
Chapter 258
“To check the baby’s nuchal translucency for chromosomal abnormalities.”
Realization dawned on Olivia. She felt her belly and asked, “Is it tomorrow?”
Tyler entered just as Linda answered. Wearing yesterday’s clothes, it was clear he’d been with Naomi.
“Mr. Tyler,” Linda greeted.
He looked at Olivia. “You’re up?”
Olivia stared at him for a long time before responding, “Mm–hmm.”
Approaching her bed, he asked gently, “Have you eaten yet?”
“Just finished getting ready,” she informed him.
Noticing her sleepy eyes, he understood she hadn’t been up for long. Turning to Linda, he asked, “She has a new test?”
“Yes, the hospital just called. She has to do an NT scan.”
Tyler hesitated briefly before suggesting, “Let’s schedule it for tomorrow.”
“Will you come too?”
“Yes, I’ll be there,” he replied, unbuttoning his cuffs.
