Tyler asked Camilla to see the doctor off, leaving only him and Olivia in the room. He inspected the medicine closely before ensuring everything was good. "Take this."
Olivia remained quiet.
He brought a glass of water to her, but she said, "I can do it myself."
What she meant was that she didn't need him to feed her.
Ignoring her comment, Tyler didn't even look at her as he took out the pill and handed it to her.
Olivia, still sitting in bed, hesitated as she stared at the medicine.
Upon noticing her hesitation, he glanced at her and asked, "What is it?"
"Will it really not affect the baby?"
"Don't you know that, considering your background in medicine?"
Olivia had studied medicine, but when it came to matters she cared about, she found herself confused. If the fever wouldn't affect the baby, she'd actually prefer to suffer through it.
"Take it," he softened his voice.
She thought for a long time and took it from his palm, then shoved it into her mouth.
Tyler handed her the glass of water, watching her frown. "Take it with water."
Cooperating, she swallowed the pill with water.
Olivia calmed her breath after taking the medicine. "I'm okay, Tyler. You don't have to stay the night."
