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.
