The Beginning Of All Sins

Chapter 36

Outside the emergency room, Mrs. Jones was in tears, unable to contain her emotions. Darren tried to console her, urging her not to worry.

Though Tyler hoped that Naomi would be okay, he wasn’t a heartless person. He didn’t want to harm another person just to save her. That’s why he had urged Olivia to think it through.

Moreover, besides him, who cared deeply for her, Naomi’s parents hadn’t considered the risks either, including Darren, who was Olivia’s father.

A nurse asked Olivia, “Are you anemic?”

She wasn’t sure; she knew very little about her own body. She replied softly, “I don’t think so.”

“Okay, let’s take a look.”

The nurse proceeded to draw her blood for testing. Olivia watched as the needle punctured her vein, causing a sharp, painful sensation that made her body tense up. But she endured it, keeping quiet.
