Chapter 315
The Beginning Of All Sins
Naomi stared at the car parked outside again. Wasnât that the Harrisâ car? She felt puzzled about what was happening. Earlier, she thought she saw Tyler carrying someone.
âCould it be Olivia?â she wondered aloud before heading to the hallway.
Emma quickly followed her. âWhere are you going, Ms. Naomi?!â
Naomi didnât answer Emma and continued toward the temporary ward, pushing through the gathered crowd. When she arrived, she saw Tyler gently placing Olivia on the bed. Doctors hurried over to assist.
Naomiâs heart sank as she realized Olivia was injured. She tried to enter the room in a panic but was stopped by a nurse who mistook her for an outsider.
âYou canât come in, Miss,â the nurse said firmly.
âThatâs my sister in there,â Naomi protested.
The nurse didnât listen and ushered her out. âPlease get out!â
Feeling helpless, Naomi stepped back. Emma, worried Naomi might stumble, quickly reached out to steady her.
From the doorway, Naomi watched Tyler, who was completely focused on Olivia. He held Oliviaâs hand tightly and caressed her forehead with his other hand, his face filled with concern.
The doctor was checking Olivia, starting with the injuries from her fall. As he examined her legs, Olivia let out a sharp scream.
âWhatâs wrong? Where does it hurt?â Tyler asked, his voice filled with worry.
After a thorough check, the doctor announced, âShe sprained her foot.â
Tyler frowned as he watched the doctor work. He kept holding Oliviaâs hand, waiting anxiously for more information.
Once the examination was over, Tyler asked the doctor, âAre you sure itâs just a sprain?â
Olivia trembled from pain. Tyler gently held her face to keep her still, careful not to aggravate the injury at the back of her head.
âIt looks like just a sprain, her bones are intact,â the doctor reassured him.
Tyler glanced at Oliviaâs swollen right ankle, his expression solemn.
Olivia winced in pain, and as the doctor continued to examine her ankle, she cried out again. âIt hurts,â
she exclaimed.
Tyler pulled her close, cradling her head in his arms while comforting her. His concern was evident in his eyes.
Watching from the doorway, Naomi felt weak. She nearly lost her balance. âMs. Naomi- Emma called out, steadying her.
At the sound of Emmaâs voice, Tyler looked up and met Naomiâs gaze across the room.
