The Beginning Of All Sins

“Why would you ask that?”

Sensing the intensity in his gaze, Olivia shuddered for a moment before hastily replying, “Nothing.”

Tyler sensed something was amiss, but since Olivia didn’t elaborate, he decided not to press further.

She quickly added, “I’m tired. I’m going to my room.”

Tyler thought she might need some rest, so he allowed her to go without further questioning.

Once in her room, Olivia remained silent for a while before heading to the bathroom.

However, that night, she had a nightmare. She jolted awake at three in the middle of the night, only having slept for three hours.

By eight in the morning, she was still in her room. The maid informed Tyler, ” She’s still sleeping. I can’t wake her up.”

Tyler got up from the dining table upon hearing this. As he started to go upstairs, the maid felt it was inappropriate due to Olivia being Naomi’s sister. She stopped him, saying, “Mr. Tyler, isn’t it inappropriate for you to go into her room?”

He ignored her and went upstairs. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

When Olivia finally woke up, she noticed someone sitting by her bed. At first, she thought it was a dream until Tyler removed his hand from her forehead. He instructed the maid, “She has a fever. Get the doctor here.”

The maid acknowledged this and quickly left Olivia’s room.

It took Olivia a moment to fully regain her senses. She felt her mouth was dry and asked, “Do I have a fever?”

“Didn’t you know that?” Tyler asked softly.

She hadn’t been aware of it. All she knew was that she felt dizzy when she woke up in the middle of the night.

Tyler tucked her in and gently caressed her chin. “I’ll have the doctor come and take care of you.”

Olivia appeared weak from the fever. Her eyes were watery, her cheeks pale, and her lips were red. She looked quite pitiful.

Tyler was surprised to find himself feeling a sense of compassion as he looked at her. He gently stroked her cheek.

Feeling uncomfortable, Olivia instinctively wanted to evade his touch when his hand caressed her cheek. However, she only lowered her head, making her tiny face appear vulnerable beneath his palm.

“Let’s have some porridge after the doctor arrives?”

Olivia answered softly, “Okay.”

“Hmm.” Tyler removed his hand from her face and stayed with her.

Shortly after, the maid returned with the doctor. As they approached Olivia’s room, they observed Tyler conversing with Olivia as she lay quietly.

The maid thought he was really sweet to her. She knocked on the door, and Tyler invited them in.

The doctor examined Olivia’s condition and measured her temperature, which was above 38 degrees Celsius.

Tyler asked, “Does she need an IV drip?”
