Chapter 3
Tyler was indeed not great at comforting girls. He had no clue what he said that
had upset her.
He furrowed his brows for a few moments, realizing she didn’t want the candies.
He fell silent before. eventually setting them aside.
After a long drive, the car suddenly stopped, and Olivia was taken aback as she
looked at the hospital outside the window.
Tyler didn’t know they were heading to the hospital. He asked, “Since we're at
the hospital, do you want to visit your sister?”
Olivia looked nervous. In truth, she hadn't visited Naomi since she was admitted
to the hospital. They weren't close.
Tyler knew how distant they were from each other. They were many years apart,
and they had different mothers. It made sense that they weren't close.
“She's been moody. I'm sure she'd be happy if you visited.” He said it casually,
without any pressure.
Olivia had been clenching her hands when she heard this. “Has her illness...
gotten worse lately?”
Tyler didn’t answer her. She instinctively clenched her hands again. She knew
her sister's condition must have been terrible.
They fell into a terrifying silence. After an unknown amount of time, she finally
heard him speak, How great would it be if Naomi were as healthy as you.”
There was a hint of weariness on his face, and worry was etched between his
eyebrows. It seemed like he was saying that if they had to choose between the
two daughters of the Jones family to be healthy, he hoped it would be Naomi.
Olivia tightly pressed her lips together. She had no idea how to respond to his
statement. She sat there with her head bowed, feeling guilty. She looked somber.
But deep down, she believed it wasn’t her fault that her sister was sick...
When she was young, she had heard something. When the Jones family took her
in, Mrs. Jones took Naomi to see a fortune teller. The fortune teller had said that
the family should not have two daughters.
It was just that her mother died when she was young, and she had no other place
to go, so her father was forced to bring her home. Tyler must have heard about
that, right?
Her heart felt like an empty hourglass, and the emptiness inside her was tearing
her apart. She thought that perhaps she was the cause of her sister's illness.
She couldn't believe that she was hesitating to get out of the car. She was scared
and didn’t dare to look at Tyler out of the corner of her eye.

Sensing her silence, Tyler realized that he might have said something
inappropriate. He explained, I'm sorry, I didn’t mean anything bad.” His words
sounded warm, but if one listened closely, there was a hint of distance in his
tone.
He added, “Come on, I'm sure your sister misses you too.”
Tyler got out of the car first.
