Chapter 123 They were too close that their lips could almost touch.
The shadows from outside cast across their faces, and Olivia could smell the wine on his breath. Their noses brushed against each other as they breathed in sync. The car was filled with an intense silence.
However, Tyler didn’t move any closer, just gazing at her. Olivia’s pink lips pressed together slightly as he watched.
The air was charged with intimacy, and then Tyler’s hand, which had been stroking her face, moved downward. She frowned a little, but with her lips still pressed together, she leaned into his touch.
In this enclosed space, some things were better left unspoken.
Tyler’s voice was low. “Remember what | said today?”
Olivia kept her face in his hand, remaining silent.
Slowly, Tyler withdrew his hand, and the intimacy faded as the driver entered the car.
They sat in silence as the driver spoke up, “Mr. Tyler, are we heading to Sandalwood Palace?” Tyler nodded and confirmed, and their car pulled away from the restaurant.
While they were on the road, Olivia finally asked, “Tyler, are the rumors at school true?”
Tyler opened his eyes and asked, “What rumors?”
“They said they were raising funds for my sister.” Olivia thought about her sister’s medical condition and whether she could handle the treatments.
Tyler didn’t deny it but looked weary as he nodded.
Feeling guilty, Olivia quietly asked, “What about IVF? | can try it if we have to.
Tyler met her gaze. “We need a marriage certificate to start the IVF process,” he explained calmly. Olivia's expression didn’t change. “Well... do we have any other options?“Her voice sounded sad.
Tyler closed his eyes again. “We've checked the bone marrow donation database for potential matches in the first half of this year.”
Olivia sat in silence, absorbing the weight of the news. With no medical procedures available, all they could do was hold onto hope.
