Olivia's Pov

After taking care of my bruise, I went to the room where Olivia was admitted. The doctor said we could leave tomorrow. I went into the room to see Owen still sitting beside the twins, his head on the bed, as he slept. He looked beyond exhausted, my heart clenched at the sight, if only he was here. 

As if sensing me approaching him, he woke up. 

"The boys said they had to leave," he said. 

I nodded, and made my way to the twins and laid on the bed between them. As soon as my back hit the soft surface, both of them had their head on my chest and arms wrapped around me. I smiled tiredly at my toddlers.

I couldn't sleep, so I just looked up at the ceiling. I ruined the dinner. Idk what's going to happen.

"Hey, umm, Olivia." I hummed in response, eyes closed. 

"If you don't mind me asking, who was the guy with you outside the room?"

"That was Jullian. He saw me running around like a mad woman and decided to give me a lift and cared enough to come and check up on me." I replied. 

"I am sorry I ruined your dinner." I heard some shuffling and felt warmth on the hand that was holding Ocean, I opened my eyes and looked to the side to see Owen smiling softly. 

"I am sorry that this is happening to you. I wish I could help you get out of this. But my father pretty much has me under his leash," he said, and I kept quiet.

I might have to marry this guy without loving him. I was wrong when I thought that I liked Owen; maybe I did, as a friend. I think I must've felt that way because of the fact that he reminds me of him.

"Thank you, Owen, for being there for me, even if we are forced into this. I'm glad that it's you."

He looked at me, his expression sad, "Me too,"

I felt my eyes closing slowly.

"I wish I could be with you under different circumstances."

------------------

The next morning, I woke up to see Owen sleeping on the chair with a blanket draped over his body. I looked at him and smiled. The twins were still sleeping, so I didn't move from my place, and wake them up.

I looked around the room to see an old woman, probably in her 80s, looking at me and smiling. I smiled back.

She said something in Chinese, and I looked at he,r confused.

"My mom said you have a beautiful family here and that your husband didn't sleep until he made sure you were asleep and comfortable," a woman translated. She looked to be in her late 20s.

I smiled at the grandma.

"Thank you. But this is not my husband. He's just a friend of mine. My daughter loves him, and he adores her too." I said, and the woman translated.

The grandma's smile faltered before she spoke again.

I looked at the woman.

"She said that soon enough you will become one. She says that she sees it in you guys. Both of you look too broken, and the only thing that can fix u both is each other." I just smiled at them.

"Good Morning!!!!" I looked at Owen, who was awake. His eyes were half open, and his hair was all ruffled up.

"You should've gone back home, you know. "

"Oh shut it, Olivia. My son became useful for the first time. Be thankful." I know that voice.

"Mom!!! When did u come?"

"In the morning. I have your clothes and brush in the bag there. Both of u change and brush your teeth before you leave," she said, and we nodded. After carefully shifting the twins off me. I took my necessities and went towards the washroom with Owen. 

After changing, I went to the room to see the kids already up. I ran to the twins and hugged them.

"Mommy is sorry, babies. I would never leave you again. I am really sorry." I mumbled to them as the tears fell from my eyes.

They pulled back. Ocean and River each kissed my eyes to stop the tears. I smiled at them.

"OK, kids. I called the Kindergarten and told them about your situation. They gave u guys a leave today."

We nodded.

After a final checkup from the doctor and paying all the bills, we went outside.

"OK. So bye, kids." Old Lani said as she walked towards a bike. Now that I am noticing it. She is wearing skinny jeans and a black tank top with a leather jacket. Cool!!! She is like 75!!!!

When I grow up, I want to be like her.

"Mom!!! Why did you take my bike!!!!" Owen whined.

"Oh shut it human that I bought into this world. I bought this for you with my money. Its mine as much as it's yours. I'll see you losers at home!!!"

Man... I was hoping that she bought the van so that I could take the kids for a breakfast date and buy them an ice cream to get their minds off of yesterday. River must've been so scared. I also need to go to the convenience store to buy a few things for dinner. I mean, the boys were also panicking. Wait. I can ask Owen to join us for breakfast and lunch. I mean, I owe him too!!

"Hey, Owen, you wanna spend the day with us? We can get breakfast, and then shop, and then eat lunch from outside, and then visit the park? I am pretty sure the twins had a long night yesterday." Ocean cheered.

"Sure- " Owen cut himself off when he looked down with wide eyes. "I mean...I-I don't know......" he was shaking.

I looked down to see River glaring at him.

I pulled his ear softly. He looked at me. I gave him a stern look. He sighed before smiling at Owen; it looked like a forced one.

" River wouldn't mind. And I owe you for helping me out there. This is the least I could do, also because we need you to drive us around." I said, and he slowly nodded his head.

Ocean cheered even more while River grunted.
