The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler)

As though under a spell, Tyler didn't realize how soft his voice had become, almost inaudible. "Do you feel sick?"

When Camilla returned to the room with the doctor, she found Tyler holding Olivia, staring into her eyes. Olivia appeared meek and coquettish in his embrace.

The scene felt so romantic that even Camilla, standing at the door, couldn't help but feel it.

She thought Olivia had the power to make Tyler fall for her. Could he ever escape her grasp again?

Everything felt chaotic to Camilla.

Just in time, she spoke up, "Sir."

Tyler tore his gaze away from Olivia and turned toward the door upon hearing Camilla's voice.

Olivia retreated slightly from his embrace and tilted her face to the side, diffusing the romantic atmosphere.

"Did you call the doctor?" he asked.

Camilla was uncertain whether she had timed her entrance correctly. "Yes, I did. He's from the best hospital in the city." The hospital was conveniently located nearby, just across the street, which explained the doctor's prompt arrival.

Tyler rose from his seat, holding a glass of water. "Check her temperature first."

Camilla responded promptly, "Of course, sir," before ushering the doctor in.

Olivia lay back on the bed, struggling to sit up straight.

The doctor hurried over to examine her.

"Are you pregnant?" he asked.

Camilla had already informed the doctor about Olivia's condition, so she repeated, "Yes, she's five months pregnant."

The doctor placed his hand on Olivia's arm to gauge her temperature before using a thermometer under her armpit, noting the alarming warmth.

Olivia looked away, attempting to conceal her embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Tyler stood silently by, observing.

After a few minutes, the doctor examined the thermometer reading.

"39°C," he announced.

Camilla panicked at the high temperature. "What should we do now?"

"I'll prescribe some acetaminophen tablets for her," the doctor reassured.

Tyler sought confirmation, "Is it safe for her to take medication?"

The doctor approached Tyler. "Yes, she can, but in moderation. Let's see if her fever subsides after one dose."

Tyler, mindful of medication, insisted, "Should we consider admitting her to the hospital?"

"Not at this moment. If her fever persists tomorrow, then it is advisable," the doctor replied.

"Understood."

Before leaving, the doctor asked, "Who is the baby's father?"

Camilla and Olivia were taken aback by the question. It seemed odd and intrusive to them.

Nevertheless, Tyler responded calmly, "I am."

"Please take good care of her tonight. I'm concerned she might experience spasms if her fever doesn't improve. Physical cooling is the best way to lower her temperature," the doctor advised. Tyler looked tense as he replied, "We'll keep that in mind."

The doctor wrote a prescription and handed it to Tyler before departing, leaving them with some final instructions.
