The Beginning Of All Sins novel (Olivia and Tyler) novel Chapter 500

"We'll bring Naomi back to her room, okay? She's worried about Olivia so much that we were concerned about her getting into an accident of her own."

Tyler hummed in agreement, but he sounded apathetic.

"Let's go," Hillary said.

Naomi said nothing and allowed herself to leave with her parents.

Tyler watched them go coldly.

Hillary told Darren to leave the ward for the women to speak in secret.

Darren was so worried about Olivia that he did not question his wife. His mind was too preoccupied—even as he left, the grimace on his face said it all.

"Mom, you should stop acting like that to him. Olivia is also his daughter. He wants to show that he cares," Naomi said.

"Show? The only reason he even has Olivia was that he couldn't keep it in his pants!'

Naomi sighed. She could never solve this conflict between her parents.

Hillary held Naomi's hand. "Listen to me. It doesn't matter if Olivia goes nuts. You'll be fine as long as her baby is fine."

"But that would mean I'll be Tyler's mistress for the rest of my life!" Naomi snarled.

Hillary almost blacked out from the realization. Had they shot themselves in the foot all along?

"How can this be?!" she cried out. "You're supposed to be Mrs. Harris! You're the real deal! It can't be anything else!"

"We shouldn't have walked down this path, Mom! I told you I didn't want that IVF idea you gave! Now look at what happened?!"

"I didn't know it would come to this, Naomi. Calm down!"

"Why am I being punished like this?" Naomi asked aloud, her face stricken with tears. "I just want to live longer. Is that so wrong?"
