Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Olivia was the last to wake up the next day. She hadn't come downstairs yet, and Tyler was already reading the newspaper at the dining table.

The maid paced anxiously, worried that Olivia would be late for school, but she hesitated to wake her.

Finally, Tyler said, “Go check.”

As the maid was about to go upstairs, they heard a sound, and Olivia finally appeared.

Tyler noticed that she didn’t look well as she arrived at the table. “What's wrong?”

She shook her head. “I didn't sleep well, that's all.”

Tyler persisted, “Are you feeling unwell? Did you catch a cold?”

She continued shaking her head. “I just didn't sleep well.” She then poured herself a glass of milk, trying to avoid his gaze.

He noticed her slightly swollen eyes.

As they left the house, Tyler had been waiting in the car for Olivia, but she hadn't shown up. The driver kept checking the time. Finally, she emerged from the house and walked to the car. Tyler rolled down the window to look at her.

She said, “I'm going to school on my own, Tyler.”

He reminded her, “You're going to be late for your first class.”

“I'll take a taxi.”

He stared at her for a long time before eventually saying, “Okay, be safe. Call me if there's anything.”

She responded, her voice choked with emotion.

He stopped rolling up the window upon hearing her. He looked at her for a few seconds before finally closing the window.

Separated by the tinted window, she stood there, waiting for him to leave.

In her fourth year of university, Olivia had many responsibilities. She had a heavy workload with lots. of homework, and she had been working diligently in the lab. At this time, she didn’t want anyone to disturb her, so she did her best to ignore the stares and whispers around her.

That day in the lab, teams were being formed. Suddenly, one of the girls in her team said to the lecturer, “We'd like to change teams.” Olivia glanced at them, curious about their request.

The lecturer, seated at the main table, looked up and asked, puzzled, “Why?”

One of the two girls said, “We don’t want to be on the same team with a problematic person.”

The lecturer looked at her as well. In reality, the lecturers were aware of the happenings on the school forum to some extent. The lecturer didn’t immediately respond, just looking at Olivia.

A heavy silence enveloped the lab.

“Okay, please don't bring personal conflicts and opinions into the lab. This is not a social gathering, so let's focus on our work and avoid gossip.”

Fortunately, the lecturer didn’t make things more difficult for Olivia. The lecturer had observed Olivia's usual behavior, recognizing her as a diligent student who didn't seek trouble or draw attention. Olivia generally performed well on the tasks assigned, so the lecturer decided to be lenient.
