Olivia was drenched in sweat, unsure if it was from the heater or her fever. A tear lingered at the corner of her eye, her vision blurred by the heat.
Tyler only let go of her arms after a long time. He said, "Lie down."
Complying, Olivia moved her body but kept her gaze fixed on him.
"I'm really okay, Tyler," she repeated.
"I'm not worried about you. I'm worried about the baby," he explained, taking a seat beside her.
Instantly, Olivia understood. With her eyes lowered, she murmured, "I know."
She didn't expect him to be concerned for her.
"Drink some water."
Despite how beaten she looked, Tyler rose and filled a glass from the kettle. Returning to her side, he offered her the water.
Olivia noticed he was still wearing the same clothes as on TV—he must have just returned.
The calm and composed man was currently in front of her. She felt like she was dreaming.
Tyler helped her up after fetching the water.
She shut her eyes the moment he carried her. She held her head low, sitting up with the help of his arms.
He wanted to feed her water, but his chin touched the top of her head as soon as he looked down.
As he attempted to give her water, his chin brushed the top of her head.
Unaware of the contact, Olivia felt uncomfortably close. She intended to drink the water once upright, only to realize she lacked the strength. Dizziness washed over her, leaving her unable to sit up straight.
Tyler watched as she lay weakly in his arms, her chin lifting instinctively.
