The Beginning Of All Sins

A moment later, Tyler asked, “Should I call the doctor?”

Confused by his suggestion, Olivia assumed he wanted to check her stomach pain. “No need for the doctor. I’ll feel better with the medicine,” she replied.

She didn’t wish to cause a fuss, so she reached out and took the medicine from the maid.

But Tyler stopped her, holding her hand.

Looking up at him, Olivia was taken aback when he insisted, “Let’s have the doctor examine you.”

Before she could protest further, Tyler gave the order, “Call the doctor.”

“I’ll call the traditional doctor, Mr. Tyler. He specializes in treating gastric pain,” the maid offered, leaving the room to make the call.

Olivia remained in Tyler’s embrace, attempting to sit up in bed. He allowed her to adjust herself, watching her closely.

“Would you like some water?” he asked.

After a prolonged silence, she finally spoke, “No need.”

Despite her refusal, Tyler fetched a glass of water. As he approached, Olivia felt queasy and tried to

Concerned, Tyler frowned. “Do you feel like throwing up again?”

Trying to suppress the feeling, Olivia reassured him with her hoarse voice, “No.”

Nevertheless, Tyler brought the water to her lips, and she drank it quickly to ease her discomfort.

As Olivia lay in bed, she tried to recall her recent meals, wondering why she felt so sick despite eating little. Was it a cold she caught last night?

Memories of the previous night filled her with resentment toward Tyler. She pulled the blanket up and looked away from him.

Tyler put down the glass and said to her, “Drink some ginger tea later. It’ll help.”

Closing her eyes, Olivia said, “I think I caught a cold last night.” Her voice was weak and hoarse. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Tyler caught the nuance in her tone and responded, “Whether it’s a cold or not, you’ll still need to undergo the examination.”

Olivia felt terrible. How could the doctor find anything? She lost the desire to speak and chose to

remain silent.

Respecting her silence, Tyler let her rest.

Ten minutes later, the doctor arrived, and Tyler rose from the bedside.

“What happened?” The doctor inquired.

“She’s been feeling ill since breakfast. Could you check if she has a cold?” Tyler requested.

The doctor listened and then asked, “Did you check her temperature?”

“I did. Her temperature’s normal,” Tyler said.

“Okay, let me examine her,” the doctor said, turning his attention to Olivia. “Let me see your tongue.
