The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia spent her days being wheeled around the garden by her maid or chatting with Maisy in the living

room downstairs.

Maisy was very thoughtful about Olivia’s feelings, careful not to bring up anything that might upset her. But lately, Olivia seemed happier, which made Maisy feel relieved. Her affection for Olivia grew stronger

each day. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Three days into her stay at the Harrises, a nurse from the hospital came by to schedule Olivia’s fourth prenatal checkup. This appointment included screening for Down Syndrome.

That morning, Maisy was in Olivia’s room keeping her company when they received the update.

Concemed, Maisy asked, “Are you going alone? Do you want me to come with you?”

Maisy loved Olivia dearly but knew she was getting on in years. Olivia didn’t want to trouble her, so she responded, “I can manage on my own, it’s not a long process.”

Maisy, still worried, pressed, “Are you sure?”

Olivia reassured her, “Yes, the maid will accompany me.”

“But Tyler would usually be the one to go with you,” Maisy pointed out, feeling sorry for Olivia,

Olivia lowered her gaze and said softly, “I’m really fine. I can handle this alone.”

Maisy sighed and relented, “Okay, my dear. Call us if you need anything tomorrow.”

Olivia nodded. “Okay, Grandma.”

After informing Olivia of the appointment time, the nurse left. Maisy stayed a bit longer, but had to go when the maid reminded her to take her medicine.

As Maisy left the room, she muttered, “This is ridiculous”

Olivia wasn’t sure who Maisy was referring to but had a good guess. She chose to ignore the comment, though the maid gave her a sympathetic look.

The following morning, Olivia, accompanied by Alisa and a nurse, went to the hospital. Her mobility was still limited, and the Harrises insisted she shouldn’t go alone.

Ana wanted to join them but was tied up with errands.

Despite her calm exterior, Olivia felt anxious about the checkup. She remained quiet, sitting in her

wheelchair.

At the hospital, the nurse noticed Olivia’s condition and asked, “What happened to your leg, Mrs. Harris?”

Alisa quickly replied, “It’s just a sprain. She’s getting better.”

The hospital staff were very considerate. Upon hearing this, the nurse approached Olivia and said, “I’m

glad to hear you’re okay. Just be careful, especially now that you’re pregnant.”

The checkup was done privately to keep Olivia comfortable.

Olivia reassured her, “The baby is doing well.”
