The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia felt uneasy hearing what the doctor said. Despite her discomfort, she complied when he asked to see her tongue. After a moment of hesitation, she slowly extended her tongue, feeling awkward and

self–conscious.

Examining her tongue, the doctor remarked, “Her stomach should be fine.”

Quickly closing her mouth, Olivia sat in silence, feeling awkward and embarrassed at sticking out her

tongue.

The doctor proceeded to check other parts of her body before requesting, “Give me your hand. I’ll check your pulse.”

Handing her hand over, Olivia allowed the doctor to check her pulse. After a moment of silence, he asked, “How old are you?”

“Twenty–two.”

Tyler stood next to the doctor, watching as the doctor checked Olivia’s pulse, his expression serious.

The doctor nodded thoughtfully and inquired, “When was your last menstrual period?”

Olivia hesitated. Her stomach wasn’t feeling well, so why did the doctor ask that?

“I–It’s been over a month since I got it.” From NôvelDrama.Org.

As he removed his hand, the doctor fell silent, leaving.Olivia and Tyler waiting anxiously. Breaking the silence, the doctor declared firmly, “You’re pregnant.”

Both Tyler and Olivia were stunned by the revelation. Olivia couldn’t believe it; she stared at the

doctor in disbelief.

“I–It can’t be… How is that possible?” Olivia protested instinctively.

Undeterred by her denial, the doctor reiterated, “You’re pregnant. When was the last time you two

had intercourse?”

Speechless, Olivia struggled to recall their last intimate encounter. Her mind was a blur, and she wasn’t ready to process this news.

Tyler answered the doctor, “We do it every now and then.”

Confirming his suspicion, the doctor continued, “The baby is almost a month old.”

Olivia felt like the ground was slipping from beneath her. She couldn’t comprehend how she could be pregnant when conceiving naturally seemed impossible.

Tyler fell into a momentary silence. Meanwhile, the maid stood there, completely oblivious to the context of their conversation.

Olivia felt as if there was thunder roaring in her ears, overwhelmed by the sudden prospect of

pregnancy. She was entirely unprepared for and did not anticipate this possibility.

“I’ll take her to the hospital for a check–up,” Tyler said flatly.

“It’s best to do that. Her morning sickness seems to come early, and it’s quite serious,” the doctor advised.

“Hmm, sure. Thank you,” Tyler said to the doctor in all seriousness.

The doctor left without further comment or prescribing any medication, and Tyler had the maid escort him out.

A heavy silence filled the room once they were alone.

Olivia felt weakness in her arms and legs, unable to say a single word for what felt like an eternity,

Tyler sat by the bed, silently observing her for a long stretch before suggesting, “Let’s get a confirmation at the hospital.”

She didn’t respond to him.

Of course, Tyler understood that the idea of a child stirred nothing but fear in her. To Olivia, at her age, the concept of motherhood was alien and distant.

He gently patted her head and stroked her hair. “Don’t be scared. We’ll just see if it’s true, okay?” Finally, Olivia looked at him, her voice filled with confusion, “How did I suddenly get pregnant?”
