Chapter 262
The Beginning Of All Sins
Olivia didnât understand why she needed more tests. She and Tyler looked at the doctor, concerned.
âIs something wrong?â Tyler asked.
The doctor, seeing they were worried, tried to reassure them. âItâs quite common to have issues in the NT scan. We can do a more detailed test called amniocentesis to learn more.â
This made Olivia feel very anxious. She nervously asked, âDo I need to do that test?â She was lying in bed, holding onto the sheets tightly.
Instead of answering her directly, the doctor told Tyler, âAmniocentesis will give us a clearer picture.
âThe babyâs unstable at the moment. Can she do it?â Tyler frowned.
âYes, itâs safe for the baby,â assured the doctor.
Listening to them talk made Olivia even more worried. She kept thinking whether the baby was deformed, and what would happen if it was. Would it mean that it wouldnât be born?
She couldnât help but overthink.
Tyler noticed Olivia was very quiet and looked at her. He saw she was pale and looked scared.
âOkay, letâs go ahead with the amniocentesis,â he told the doctor. He then went to Olivia and asked, âWhatâs on your mind?â
âCould there be something wrong with the baby?â Olivia asked, her voice filled with worry.
Tyler tried to comfort her by holding her close, putting her face on his chest. He frowned as he looked at her. âMany people have issues in the initial scan. Letâs not worry until we have more information, okay?â
However, Olivia just couldnât calm down. She was still feeling very anxious in his arms.
Tyler could tell she was really upset. He was worried too but tried to stay strong for her.â Letâs go home,â he said.
He thought it was best for Olivia not to stay in the hospital too long, to keep her from worrying more.
When they got home, Maisy and Ana were eager to know how the checkâup went.
âWeâll know more in a few days,â Tyler explained.
Maisyâs expression changed. âWhy does she need another checkâup? What happened?â
Ana, understanding the situation better, told her, âItâs nothing unusual, Mom. Itâs all part of the process.â
She then turned to Olivia and offered some food. âAre you hungry? We have soup.â
Maisy, though she had her own needs, cared about Olivia. âYou must be tired. Letâs have something to eat.â Even though she was old and needed a maidâs support, she still helped Olivia to the table.
Olivia just wanted to rest, but she didnât want to upset anyone. âIâm fine, Grandma, really. Donât worry about me,â she reassured them.
âLetâs let her rest for now,â Tyler intervened.
Ana and Maisy were surprised but understood the need for rest.
