The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler)

Hillary knew all about Darren's hypocrisy. It actually made her lose any guilt she felt about Olivia's mental state.

Naomi had not expected them to fight each other at a time like this.

"Can you two stop?!" she snarled, annoyed. "This isn't the point! The point is Olivia!"

Darren and Hillary stopped arguing. Any ounce of defiance he had demonstrated was gone. He reverted to himself.

"If she doesn't get better..." Hillary began but could not finish the sentence. What was she going to do?

The only thing she counted herself lucky for was the fact that the child was largely unharmed. In other words, Naomi was still safe. That thought dispelled any rage she had against Darren.

"Look, this is not the time to wonder who's behind what. The priority is Olivia's treatment. So we'll have to wait till Tyler's here with us and discuss this with him."

Naomi suddenly felt a great sense of danger. This new development could be advantageous to her, but then again, she suspected that the advantage was negligible. The baby was in Olivia's body. How were they supposed to solve the relationship issue between Olivia and Tyler?

If the baby was out and yet Olivia was still mentally unsound, then where could she go? Could she still return to the Jones family?

Naomi could no longer entertain the thought. Restless, she felt guilty for leading Olivia to her current state, yet she couldn't ignore the practical considerations for their future.

Could this be God's punishment for her cheating death? Maybe God just really wanted her dead.

Naomi tightened her grip.

At that moment, Tyler finally emerged.

Naomi turned and called out, "Tyler!"

Hillary and Darren quickly approached him.

Tyler looked at them before fixing his eyes on Naomi. "You should go to your room."

His tone was monotonous. No one could guess how he felt.

"Is she better now?" Naomi askew.

"The nurse is doing her best."

Naomi's hand over her heart was shaking. "What can we do to help?"

"Just leave for now," Tyler replied.

Naomi was about to say something when Hillary suggested, "We could stay in your ward. You'll be the first to know if anything happens to her."

Naomi felt a rush of anxiety, though she tried to keep it hidden. She remained silent for a moment before Andrea chimed in, "That's fortunate."
