The Beginning Of All Sins

Naomi stared at the car parked outside again. Wasn’t that the Harris‘ car? She felt puzzled about what was happening. Earlier, she thought she saw Tyler carrying someone.

“Could it be Olivia?” she wondered aloud before heading to the hallway.

Emma quickly followed her. “Where are you going, Ms. Naomi?!”

Naomi didn’t answer Emma and continued toward the temporary ward, pushing through the gathered crowd. When she arrived, she saw Tyler gently placing Olivia on the bed. Doctors hurried over to assist.

Naomi’s heart sank as she realized Olivia was injured. She tried to enter the room in a panic but was stopped by a nurse who mistook her for an outsider.

“You can’t come in, Miss,” the nurse said firmly.

“That’s my sister in there,” Naomi protested.

The nurse didn’t listen and ushered her out. “Please get out!”

Feeling helpless, Naomi stepped back. Emma, worried Naomi might stumble, quickly reached out to steady her.

From the doorway, Naomi watched Tyler, who was completely focused on Olivia. He held Olivia’s hand tightly and caressed her forehead with his other hand, his face filled with

concern.

The doctor was checking Olivia, starting with the injuries from her fall. As he examined her legs, Olivia let out a sharp scream.

“What’s wrong? Where does it hurt?” Tyler asked, his voice filled with worry.

After a thorough check, the doctor announced, “She sprained her foot.”

Tyler frowned as he watched the doctor work. He kept holding Olivia’s hand, waiting anxiously for more information. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Once the examination was over, Tyler asked the doctor, “Are you sure it’s just a sprain?”

Olivia trembled from pain. Tyler gently held her face to keep her still, careful not to aggravate the injury at the back of her head.

“It looks like just a sprain, her bones are intact,” the doctor reassured him.

Tyler glanced at Olivia’s swollen right ankle, his expression solemn.

Olivia winced in pain, and as the doctor continued to examine her ankle, she cried out again. “It hurts,” she exclaimed.

Tyler pulled her close, cradling her head in his arms while comforting her. His concern was evident in his eyes.

Watching from the doorway, Naomi felt weak. She nearly lost her balance. “Ms. Naomi- Emma called out, steadying her.

At the sound of Emma’s voice, Tyler looked up and met Naomi’s gaze across the room.
