The Beginning Of All Sins

Alisa hurried to summon the doctor upon hearing Maisy's distress. Olivia's doctor arrived approximately 20 minutes later.
The panicked Maisy insisted on the doctor's immediate presence.
Upon careful examination of Olivia, the doctor grew perplexed.
"Everything appears normal, and her fever has subsided," he reassured.
Maisy asked, "Then why does she appear this way? What could be the matter?"
Turning to Olivia, the doctor asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Olivia tensed at the question, hesitating before responding.
She pursed her lips for a moment before adding with a shake of her head, "No."
"And your appetite? Any signs of nausea?" the doctor pressed on.
Again, Olivia shook her head, replying, "No."
Increasingly puzzled, the doctor exchanged a bewildered glance with Maisy, whose worry was palpable as she clasped Olivia's hands. "Olivia, why do you look so distressed when you're physically well? Please, don't keep secrets from us," Maisy pleaded.
Ana, however, seemed to know something, her grin revealing hidden knowledge.
Alisa suggested, "Perhaps it's due to her recent trouble sleeping. She seems startled awake by nightmares lately."
Maisy was taken aback. "Nightmares? Has she seen something?"
She mused that pregnancy might make one susceptible to spiritual disturbances. "Should she visit the church again?" she asked Ana.
Ana responded, "If attending church brings her peace, then she should go. Although, whether it will truly helpa's uncertain. Some challenges must be faced alone."
Ana's words carried multiple layers of meaning, leaving Olivia puzzled as to what she implied.
Meanwhile, Maisy was confused.
She had been fixated on Ana.
Ana then turned her gaze toward Maisy and uttered, "Ask her if she wants to go, Mom."
Maisy directed her attention to Olivia. "Would you like to go, my dear? Let's plan to pray tomorrow afternoon. How does that sound?"
Without awaiting Olivia's response
Maisy promptly turned to Alisa and instructed, "Take her to the church
tomorrow. Prayer might bring her some solace."
"Understood, Ma'am," Alisa replied.
