The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia buried her face on Tyler’s shoulder for a while. Then, he whispered to her, “Can you walk?”

He wanted to know If she was strong enough to stand up.

“Mm–hmm, I can. It’s just that my legs are a little swollen,” Olivia answered.

Tyler only let her go after hearing this. Even though she was standing, he kept close, both of them facing each other.

“Are you sure you can walk?”

Olivia had been bedridden for days and felt a bit unsure on her feet at first. After a moment, she assured him, “Yeah, I’m okay.”

The maid, seeing how patient Tyler was,

decided to leave them alone.

So, Olivia took careful steps, with Tyler by her side, supporting her. She avoided big steps, not wanting to risk anything because of the baby.

“Take it easy,” Tyler reminded her gently as they walked.

Olivia smiled happily at him. They shared a warm look.

Just then, a car pulled up. Naomi, watching from a distance, saw Tyler and Olivia holding hands, moving slowly in the garden. She noticed Tyler’s gentle manner and Olivia’s sweet smile while relying on him.

As Naomi watched, she heard the maid advise Olivia, “You shouldn’t be walking, ma’am. The doctor said you should rest.”

Naomi clenched her hands, hearing the maid calling Olivia “ma’am.”

They were so into their garden walk that they didn’t see the car or Naomi.

“I’ll just walk a bit more. I won’t take long,” Olivia said.

But, while talking, she missed her step and almost fell, if not for Tyler catching her.

“Watch out. You don’t want to scare the baby,” he whispered to her.

Olivia felt embarrassed and closed her eyes, finding comfort in his hold.

The maid, Olivia, and Tyler all shared a smile. That’s when Naomi felt completely left Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

out, realizing she was now an outsider in what used to be her world.

Seeing Olivia and Tyler together, looking so right for each other, made Naomi feel even more distant. They were a good pair. With Olivia’s beautiful face and young, fit body, they looked like a true newlywed couple when they hugged.

The driver, noticing Naomi’s expression, hesitantly asked, “M–Miss, shall we go back?”

Naomi was jolted back to reality, relaxing her clenched hands and noticing her broken nails, with blood staining her dress.

When Hillary came to visit Naomi and found her room empty, she was puzzled. Seeing a nurse, she quickly asked, “Where’s Naomi?”

The nurse, taken aback, replied, “Ms. Naomi left for the Harrises this morning with the driver.”

“Naomi left the hospital?!” Hillary panicked. Knowing Naomi wasn’t supposed to leave with her frail condition, she was upset. “Why didn’t you stop her? How could she go out like this? Why didn’t anyone call me?”

She tried calling Naomi but got no answer, which made her even more worried, so she left in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Naomi was in the car, looking out the window with a pale face, motionless even as the breeze came through.
