Olivia agreed to take Rebecca to the hospital.

A smile bloomed on Rebecca's face. "Thank you, Olivia. The three of us are going to be best friends forever!"

"Rebecca, if you truly want to be friends with Hailey, you need to clarify your relationship with Mr. Pilsner to the media as soon as possible."

Rebecca was taken aback.

Why was Olivia bringing this up again?

"There's no time like the present," Olivia added. "Let's get it done tomorrow. After you set the story straight, perhaps Hailey and Mr. Pilsner will be able to reconcile as well."

Rebecca was annoyed with Olivia, but for now, she had no choice but to go along with her.

She would wait until Olivia's chicken soup had taken its toll on Hailey. After that, Rebecca planned to confront Olivia without holding anything back.

For the moment, she forced a smile. "Alright, Olivia. I'll clarify things to the media tomorrow."

Olivia smiled back. "That's great, Rebecca. On Hailey's behalf, thank you." "You're welcome. Nothing ever happened between Mr. Pilsner and me anyway."

"Alright then, let's go to the hospital."

Olivia and Rebecca arrived soon after.

"Rebecca, just wait here," Olivia said. "Hailey's resting in the ward. I'll go in alone."

Rebecca nodded, her eyes lingering on the thermos Olivia carried. "Alright, Olivia. I'll stay out here. Just make sure Hailey drinks the soup while it's still hot."

With a nod, Olivia turned and walked into the room.

Rebecca stood by the doorway, quietly leaning in to catch a glimpse inside.

Hailey was seated on the hospital bed when Olivia came into the room.

"Hey, Hailey. I'm here," Olivia called out.

Hailey glanced up. "That was quick."

"I came straight over as soon as the chicken soup was ready," Olivia said. "I couldn't let you or the baby go hungry."

With that, she unscrewed the lid of the thermos. "Here's the chicken noodle soup. Go on, take a whiff. Doesn't it smell great?"

Hailey nodded. "It sure does."

Olivia took out a bowl and poured

some of the hot soup into it. Sheet

held up a spoon and said, "Here you ge Hailey Drink it while it's still warm."

She brought the spoon carefully to Hailey's lips.

Rebecca stood at the doorway, her

nerve with anticipationnet

She watched the spoon

the spoon intently, hér,

heartbeat pounding in her ears.

The second Hailey took a sip, it would be over for her.

"Come on. Just drink it already," Rebecca thought.

Hailey lowered her head, about to take a sip of the soup.

Suddenly, her brows furrowed. "To be honest, I'm not that hungry."

Was Hailey really refusing to drink the soup?

Rebecca stood speechless, disbelief tightening her chest.

It felt like Hailey was deliberately toying with her.

"Just drink it!" Rebecca pleaded in her mind.

"Hailey, why don't you want the soup anymore?" Olivia asked.

"I just don't have much of an appetite right now. Leave it here. I'll drink it later if I feel

like it," Hailey said.

Olivia shook her head. "But you

haven't eaten all day. Even if you et

don't feel hungry, the baby still needs nourishment. For the baby's sake, you have to eat something."

Hailey said nothing in response.
