Chapter 78

• Tristan could see how Olivia was now lying down, asleep. After waking for a short while, she soon went back to resting. Since Edward had urgent matters to attend to that night, he had no choice but to leave temporarily. Meanwhile, Olivia's mother, who appeared exhausted after two sleepless nights, was forced by Tristan to rest briefly at home. This was done so that she could be more refreshed when she returned to the hospital the next day.
• Initially, Mikayla had resisted. She was worried about leaving her daughter alone with her son-in-law. But because Tristan continued to insist and even persuade her, she had no choice but to return an hour after Edward's departure, accompanied by Alexius.
• Now, Tristan remained alone at the hospital, keeping Olivia company. He thought that, since it was his fault that his wife needed to be hospitalized, he had a duty to care for, monitor, and accompany her until she was completely recovered. After all, that is what a real husband should do—if Olivia was still willing to consider him her husband.
