The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler)

Tyler was supposed to be in the fishing village, right? When did he come back?

Olivia considered him, her eyes wide with anxious uncertainty. A piece fit into the puzzle in her head and she suddenly sat up.

"Remember something?" Tyler asked.

Olivia scanned the room. Claude was not there. He had been with her when she fainted. Thus, what had happened while she had been out?

Questions were written all over Olivia's tired, pale face.

Tyler studied her and asked again, "You don't remember what happened?"

Olivia had an inkling that Tyler must have received her from Claude after she was out. She propped herself up from the bed, her head lowered.

"Not gonna give me an explanation of any kind?" he asked.

"It's whatever you think it was."

Tyler nodded. "If you have nothing you deem important enough to tell me, then I won't press for more. However!" He paused for a moment. "Can you at least tell me what's happening to you these few days? Someone told me you've been plagued by insomnia lately. Why?"

Olivia gripped her bedsheet hard. After a while, she finally responded by shaking her head.

Tyler's eyes grew cold. They remained in this silent standoff until he said, "Fine. Get some rest. I'll talk to you later."

He left. Camilla shot a look at Olivia and went outside.

The man turned, his eyes meeting Camillia's. It was then that a new voice joined in, "Tyler?"

It was Naomi.

"I heard about Olivia. Is she okay?" she asked worriedly.

"She has just woken up. She's probably fine."

"How did she just... pass out?! What happened?" Naomi asked.

No one knew the answer. Instead, Tyler replied, "You should rest in your room instead, Naomi."

"Can I at least check on her?"

Tyler did not answer her. Naomi turned to look at Camilla, who was also silent.

"Right. Olivia refuses to forgive me, so she wouldn't want to see me either." Naomi sighed dejectedly.

"Go back to your ward," Tyler said.

"Can't I at least try?" Naomi insisted.
