After Vera left, all Olivia thought about was the matter. She didn't even make time for dinner.
She sat on the sofa and didn't notice that the sky had already turned dark. She didn't cook dinner either.
When Sam got home, he pushed the door open and found that the room was pitch dark.
He immediately frowned. Where did Ollie go again? He only left home for a day, and she was again nowhere to be seen.
Pa!
However, as soon as he turned on the chandelier in the living room, he saw her sitting on the sofa quietly.
She sat there with a dull expression. She looked like a wandering soul, and her face was pale.
He was stunned for a few seconds before he quickly walked up to her.
"Ollie?"
He called her several times in a row, and only did Olivia come back to her senses.
Looking at Sam in front of her and his anxious expression, Olivia was stunned for a moment.
"What's wrong? Are you going into labor? Or, do you feel unwell? Shall I make a call?"
After all, Ollie's due date was approaching. Emma had told him that the due date was only an estimation. If something unexpected happened, she could go into labor at any time before that.
Although Sam had been working outside the whole day, all he thought about was Ollie.
He was on tenterhooks. When he came back and realized that the lights were not turned on, he thought that she was not at home, but to his surprise, she was sitting on the sofa in a daze. Hence, that was the only reason he could think of.
Olivia was questioned by him several times, but she just looked at him blankly and didn't respond.
Sam's heart was in his throat. When he was about to turn around and make a call, Olivia reached out and stopped him.
He turned around and looked at her.
"I'm fine." She forced a smile. "You don't have to call an ambulance, and I do not need to go to the hospital either."
"However..." He frowned and felt that something was wrong. However, she said that she was fine.
"I'm just a little sleepy and almost fell asleep."
After that, she stood up. However, because she had been sitting for too long, when she stood up, her legs were numb and she almost fell down. Fortunately, Sam caught her in time.
"Are you really okay?" He was still very worried.
"I'm really fine." She shook her head, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't worry. I'm just a little sleepy. I'll be fine after I sleep."
After that, she pushed his hand away and walked to the bedroom with her big belly.
She tried her best to walk calmly in order not to let him see that something was wrong. It was not until she entered the room and sat down on the bed that Ollie found that she had lost all her strength.
She lay down feeling dizzy and stared at the ceiling with her listless eyes.
"Stop acting like this, Olivia." She muttered to herself in her head. He merely sent Vera to the hospital because of her foot injury. In that urgent situation, he chose to carry out one of the important things. It was not his fault at all.
More importantly, she could accept it being other people. So, why couldn't it be Vera?
It was she who thought too much. She was being too unreasonable.
She couldn't think about it anymore. She tried to abandon those nonsensical thoughts from her mind, but no matter how hard she tried, those thoughts seemed to have rooted in her mind, and she just couldn't get rid of them.
"No, I can't do this. I can't do this." she thought.
She and Vera had already become good friends, so she must think of their friendship.
No, she was not stopping Sam from helping Vera, but why didn't he tell her?
