Chapter 4
Tyler sat down beside the bed, looking gentle. “Are you feeling better? Would you
like to eat an apple?”
Naomi shook her head while lying in bed. “I feel terrible. I don’t have any
appetite.” Then, she called out eagerly to the person at the door. “Come in,
Olivia.”
Olivia watched everything happening in the room as she entered slowly. It felt
quiet and strange inside. Her palms wouldn’t stop sweating, while Tyler seemed
much more at ease. He tucked Naomi
1.in.
Naomi asked, “What would you like to eat, Olivia?”
Glancing at Naomi and seeing her seeming normal, Olivia realized she was the
only one feeling strange. She made an effort to chase away the odd feeling and
answered as naturally as possible.”
Anything.”
Naomi smiled upon hearing that and said to Tyler in a coquettish tone, “Go wash
the grapes, Tyler.
Olivia loves them.”
He replied, “Sure.” He didn’t want to interrupt the sisters and removed his hand
from Naomi’s to head to the ward’s pantry.
Even after he left, Olivia continued standing there. Naomi waved at her eagerly
again. “Come here, Olivia. Sit here.”
They weren’t close. Even though they lived in the same house, they hardly spoke
to each other. It felt strange to Olivia, but she was a good girl. She walked over
after Naomi called out to her and cautiously sat beside the bed..
Naomi inquired, “How’s school?”
Olivia clenched her hands when she heard that and teared up. “Not bad.” She
looked down, appearing reluctant to engage in conversation with her sister. They
fell into silence for a while.
Fortunately, the nurse arrived at that moment. Naomi told her, “Get Olivia a glass
of milk.”
“Sure, Ms. Naomi.” The nurse then went to the fridge to fetch the milk.
In reality, Olivia was cautious as she sat there, keeping her head down the whole
time.
When the nurse handed her the glass of milk, her head remained low.
Unfortunately, she was careless and failed to hold it properly, causing the entire
glass of milk to spill on her.
She jumped in response to the cold milk, and Naomi was also startled, looking at
the nurse.
The nurse quickly apologized, saying, “I’m sorry, Ms. Olivia. I didn’t hold it
properly.”
Olivia waved her hand and said, “It’s my fault for not grabbing it properly. I’ll clean
it up.

She rushed to the pantry before Naomi could say anything. However, when she
got there, she suddenly remembered that Tyler was washing grapes.
She froze as she looked at him.
Tyler had unbuttoned his sleeves and rolled them up, exposing his muscular
forearm beneath the black shirt. He was bent over, carefully washing the grapes.
Water flowed throug his fingers, and his slender fingers brushed over the clear
grapes, with water droplets dripping from them. It was strange that what came to
Olivia’s mind was him holding her hand with his grape washing fingers while
panting.
Her heart seemed to rumble, and she felt panicked, struggling to breathe.
Tyler noticed her at the door and raised his eyebrows. “What happened?”
She pinched the wet part of her denim pants and replied very softly, “I spilled milk
on myself.”
Seeing her wet pants, he picked up the grapes and moved aside to make space
for her. “Come clean yourself.”

They were both breathing heavily, panting.
The freshly washed grapes bounced off the plate, scattering all over the floor.
They were dirty once
again.
