The Beginning Of All Sins

Olivia didn’t expect such a serious matter to be solved so quickly. Her fingers trembled.

Tyler, with his indifferent expression, frowned slightly upon hearing her words. “Okay, deal with the

rest.”

“Got it, Mr. Tyler.”

Olivia felt as if she were in a dream. She had no idea what conditions they had set or what Tyler had offered to resolve the matter so swiftly. He made no mention of the details.

Her body felt weak, but she decided not to inquire further. She would pretend she knew nothing. knowing she might never be able to repay this favor.

“Tyler, whatever you need me to do… I’ll do it.” Her sincerity was apparent as she looked down, her thick lashes casting a shadow on her face.

Tyler chose not to acknowledge her statement and instead said, “I’m sure you won’t be able to focus in class today. Let’s get an IV drip at the hospital now. You can accompany your sister.”

“Thank you, Tyler.”

The car drove away from the school and headed to the hospital.

Upon arrival, Tyler accompanied her to receive the IV drip. Coincidentally, they ended up at the same hospital where Naomi was receiving treatment. After hearing about Olivia’s illness, Naomi expressed her intention to visit, but Tyler discouraged her, saying that Olivia would be finished soon.

Naomi respected his wishes and refrained from insisting on visiting.

After Tyler hung up the call, Olivia lay in her hospital bed, her fever having spiked to 40 degrees celsius. She hadn’t even noticed how unwell she was feeling. If not for being taken to the hospital, she might not have realized how bad the fever was.

Tyler got up from the couch and walked to her. “Do you feel better now?”

Determined not to be a burden any longer, Olivia replied with embarrassment, “You don’t have to stay with me, Tyler. I’ll head home after the drip.”

Assessing her condition, he asked, “Are you

sure?”

“Yes, I’m sure.”

Sensing that something was amiss, that she was feeling sorrowful, Tyler didn’t leave. Instead, he settled into a chair beside her bed, drawing near to her. His face was in close proximity to hers as he regarded her closely. He asked quietly, near her ear, “Is he that important to you?
