The Beginning Of All Sins

Naturally, Tyler noticed that Olivia had closed her eyes, refusing to let go of the kitten. He unexpectedly spoke up as the maid was about to leave with it. “Wait.”

The maid had no idea why he had suddenly called out to her.

“Let it stay. Just clean the house more often,” he said.

She was rather surprised. “You… want to keep it?”

Even Olivia was surprised. She stood still for a moment, staring at him. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

With certainty, he replied, “Yes, let’s keep it.”

Before Olivia could fully process what had just happened, he told her, “You should go to school now, or you’ll be late.”

Grinning with joy, she responded, “Okay. Thanks, Tyler!”

He said nothing more and returned to the living room.

She eagerly took the kitten from the maid. “It’s so cute. What should I feed it? Goat milk?”

Naturally, Tyler, who had walked back to the living room, heard Olivia’s laughter. It was strange how his mood had unexpectedly improved.

Olivia took good care of the kitten, and her days had been filled with happiness. She would spend time with it every day, either feeding it or grooming its fur.

After school, when she returned to Sandalwood Palace, the maid was in the kitchen. She noticed Olivia’s cheerful mood and asked, “Ms. Olivia, Ms. Naomi said she’d like some soup. Do you have time to deliver it to her?”

Olivia hadn’t even had a chance to put down her bag. She hesitated for a moment. “Sure… It’s been a while since I visited her.”

“Great.” The maid went on, “The driver’s outside. Just get in the car.” Still busy with cooking, she returned inside after handing Olivia the insulated container.

Although Olivia was concerned about her kitten, she figured everything would be fine since she had checked on it in the morning. She got into the car with the

soup.

When Olivia arrived at Naomi’s hospital room, she found her reading. “Olivia.”

Naomi appeared surprised to see her. “Why is it you who brought me soup today, Olivia?”

Olivia put the container in front of her. “The maid is busy, so I brought it to you,”

Naomi looked at her, her smile gentle. There was nothing strange in her behavior. “How’s school and life?”

Olivia averted her gaze, worried that Naomi might ask her if she was pregnant. ” Pretty good.”

Naomi nodded. “Is Tyler treating you well?”

Olivia was caught off guard.

Naomi gently held her hand and, noticing her reaction, said, “Alright, forget I asked.” Changing the subject, she gazed at the container. “I’ve been craving that soup.”

Worried that she might be hungry, Olivia quickly opened it and poured the soup into a bowl. “Drink it while it’s hot.”

Naomi smiled and reached for the bowl. But just as she was about to grab it, she was startled.

Olivia noticed that and asked, “What’s wrong, Naomi?”

“Nothing.” She smiled, then just as she was about to take a sip, she suddenly sneezed repeatedly.

However, after the sneezing fit, Naomi clutched her chest and her face turned pale. She began to pant heavily.
