Triple Fated: A Romance Novel

Chapter 488: Keeping Away

Olivia's POV

Six months had passed.

The morning sun spilled through the open window, casting a soft glow across the room. The midwife adjusted her

glasses and smiled down at me, her hands resting gently on my swollen belly.

" You should be ready, dear," she said warmly. "The babies will cany day now, maybe within the week."

Yes, babies. Three of them. The first t| saw the scan, | couldn't believe it. Triplets, just like them. The irony

wasn't lost on me. It felt like fate had its own cruel way of remindingwhat I'd lost and what | still carried.

| smiled weakly and nodded, though deep down | was terrified. Everyone kept assuring| was strong, that my

body could handle it, but | couldn't shake the worry. Every kick, every flutter remindedof Lennox and the

family we could've had if things had been different.

The door opened quietly. | didn’t need to look up to know it was Levi. His scent filled the room, but beneath it,

faintly, | caught something else—Lennox’s scent. My chest tightened, my curiosity piqued He smiled gently and

sat beside me. "How are you feeling?"

| forced a small smile. "Huge," | said, trying to joke, though my voice cout shaky. "And tired."

He chuckled softly. "You're doing amazing."

For a few moments, we just sat in silence. But the question pressed at my tongue, refusing to stay buried any

longer.

"How's Lennox?" | finally asked.

Levi's smile faltered slightly, but he recovered quickly. "He's fine," he said simply.

| searched his face. "Any... development?"

He looked down, his hand tightening slightly on his knee. "No. Nothing new."

My heart sank. | looked away, blinking back the sting in my eyes. "I just wish | could see him," | whispered.

"Maybe if | could be there... maybe I could help."

"Olivia," Levi said gently, but there was that edge in his tone, the one that meant no.

"You've said that before," | cut in softly. "You always say | can’t. But why can’t you at least letsee him?"

He sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Because it’s not the right time."

| looked up at him, my voice trembling. "Then when is the right time, Levi? | just wanna see him."

He didn’t answer. He just looked atwith those sad, guilty eyes, the sones he'd worn for months.

Before Levi could say another word, the door opened again. Louis stepped inside, his presence always calm but

heavy with authority. His gaze moved from Levi to me, and in an instant, he seemed to understand the tension in

the room.

"What's going on here?" he asked quietly.

My frown deepened. "I was just asking Levi if | could see Lennox," | said softly. "I'm tired of waiting. I just... | need

to see him."

Louis exhaled slowly and shot Levi a look that said he knew exactly how this conversation had gone. Then he

walked over to me, his voice gentle, like he was talking to a little girl. "Olivia, you need to focus on yourself and

the babies right now. That's what matters."

My anger spiked. "So, that’s a no?"

Louis hesitated for a moment, then crouched beside my bed so he could lookin the eye. "Listen to me," he

said. "Once you give birth and recover, I'll personally take you to see him. | promise."

My heart jumped. "Really?"

He nodded with a faint smile. "Yes. But you need to be strong first. Lennox wouldn't want you to risk your health

right now."

For the first tin months, a small spark of hope flickered inside me. "Okay," | whispered. "I'll wait."

Louis reached out and gently squeezed my hand. "That's my girl. Just a little longer, alright?"

I nodded, though a part ofstill ached. | wanted to believe him. | wanted to trust that Lennox was still out

there, still breathing, still fighting. But Levi's silence, his constant hesitation, made it difficult to believe

everything they told me.

When Louis stood to leave, | looked down at my stomach, rubbing it softly. The babies kicked, as if responding to

the nthat still lingered in my thoughts.

Still, I whispered softly to my unborn children, "When you arrive, we'll go see him together. | promise."

After Louis and Levi left, the room fell quiet again, too quiet. The midwife had already gone, and the only sound

was the ticking of the small clock on the wall.

At first, | couldn't make out the words. Then, as | got closer, the tone sharpened, low and tense. Louis's voice.

"The way you act," he said, his words edged with frustration, "it's as if you don’t want him to ever wake up."

| froze mid-step. My breath caught in my throat. Levi. He was talking to Levi.

For a heartbeat, | didn’t move. My pulse pounded in my ears. | wanted to step forward, to demand what he

meant, but before I could, Louis’s voice went silent.

A faint shift of air toldthey had caught my scent. They knew | was there.
