The Beginning Of All Sins

After everything was done, Tyler sat there, his face shrouded in the shadows as a torrent of emotions surged through him uncontrollably.

Slowly, his expression turned cold.

Olivia stood nearby, uncertain of what was happening. When she heard the door open, she

approached and asked, “Was it difficult, Tyler?”

Tyler glanced at her, and Olivia immediately regretted speaking. She fell silent, but Tyler’s expression remained unchanged, his voice calm. “It was just a routine check–up.”

Deciding not to say anything further, Olivia tried to act normal. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Tyler leaned in close to her and said, “Let’s go.” Olivia nodded and followed him.

At the doctor’s office, the doctor reviewed the report and delivered the verdict, “Everything looks

good.”

Relieved by the news, Olivia sighed inwardly. Tyler, unsurprised by the outcome, led them out of the hospital and back to the car.

During the ride, Olivia remained silent. If both of them were healthy, why couldn’t she conceive? Her thoughts churned.

Tyler noticed her troubled expression. “I told you, health is important, but conception is also about timing. Let’s head home,” he reassured her.

Olivia could only nod in response.

Mrs. Jones paid a visit to Naomi and inquired about their previous conversation and whether she had discussed it with Tyler.

Naomi’s expression changed at her mother’s question. “Tyler said we need a marriage certificate to get IVF. Don’t you know that?”

Hillary, taken aback, asked, “Marriage certificate?”

Naomi confirmed, “Yes. I know you’re anxious about this, but we need to take care of Olivia’s health too.” She pondered for a moment before adding, “Do you really want Tyler and Olivia to marry just

for a child?”

Stunned, Hillary didn’t know how to respond to this unexpected question.

Naomi’s guilt surfaced as she continued, “I feel terrible that Olivia has to go through this. We should let things unfold naturally. Tyler wouldn’t do anything to her. I’d rather die than see Tyler marry Olivia for this reason.” Her face paled.

Hillary grabbed her hand in frustration. “Don’t say such things.” Uncomfortable with the discussion of death, she tried to diffuse the tension. “I was just anxious. Let’s wait and see.”

Naomi agreed to drop the topic, lowering her voice. “Alright, let’s not talk about this. We can still wait for a bone marrow match.”

Hillary sat there with Naomi for a while, sighing heavily.

That afternoon, Tyler visited Naomi and found her visibly upset. She refused to take her medications again.

Observing the untouched medicine, Tyler remarked, “I’ve arranged for someone to check the bone marrow database internationally to find a match.”

Naomi wondered if it was possible to find a match abroad when they couldn’t find one locally.

He continued, “No matter what happens, you should still take good care of yourself.” Naomi nodded but then said, “No matter how much money we have, we can’t control my fate.”
