The Beginning Of All Sins

Hillary looked heartbroken, as if Olivia were her own daughter. Tyler's expression was unreadable. "We'll only know more as the treatment progresses."

"She and Naomi are in such a tough spot. Why did this have to happen to our family? How are we supposed to cope with her being like this?" Hillary kept wiping her tears. One could say her tears were genuine.

Tyler stayed silent, listening to her sobs. Then Naomi spoke up, "Mom, it's already terrible what happened to Olivia. Why are you crying now?"

Naomi didn't want Tyler to be upset by her self-blame. After criticizing Hillary, she turned to Tyler, "I know a good psychotherapist, Tyler. Should we consult them? I believe we should focus on saving Olivia first. The baby can wait. I might not recover even with the baby anyway."

Hillary was shocked to hear Naomi say that again. She interrupted, "Why are you bringing that up again, Naomi?" Her crying intensified. "Wouldn't Olivia suffer in vain if we give up on the baby now?"

"Mom, I can't let her suffer because of me."

"You're sick, Naomi. Are you trying to make things worse?"

As the argument heated up again, Tyler intervened, "Stop."This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Naomi looked at him. He didn't seem interested in judging their argument, simply stating, "It's pointless to argue about this now."

He turned to Naomi, his tone unemotional, "You need to take care of yourself first. We're treating her, and we're keeping the baby. That's it." His face was expressionless, focused solely on sharing Olivia's status.

Hillary glanced at Naomi, whose expression fell. As a sister, she said, "Tyler... We'll leave Olivia in your hands."

"We will. After all, we're responsible for this," Tyler replied. He continued, "I'm busy, so I need to go. Please look after Naomi."

Hillary quickly responded, "Don't worry, Tyler. I'll take good care of her. You focus on Olivia, that's the most important thing right now."

She knew it was impossible to convince him to stop caring for the mentally ill. They had no choice now that Olivia was at the Harris Residence; taking her back wasn't an option.

Fortunately, given her mental state, she wasn't likely to cause any trouble. Hillary was relieved that at least she wouldn't be able to seduce Tyler now, and he wasn't considering having her terminate the pregnancy.

Hillary's main concern now was something Naomi had mentioned. If Olivia didn't recover, Naomi might never become Mrs. Harris, which deeply worried her.

"Okay, that's all for now. We'll discuss more if anything comes up."

"Please take good care of Olivia, Tyler," Hillary said.

Clearly, Naomi and Hillary were unaware of Ana threatening Olivia before, and that was why they felt guilty. Tyler didn't mention it, merely offering a brief acknowledgment.
