The Beginning Of All Sins

"It's a long story, but I'll help her if she needs it. I'll visit her again when I finish my work," Claude said. Sophie listened quietly, surprised by his words.

Then he added, "Okay, go on with your day. I'll let you know if there's anything new about Olivia."

Sophie felt relieved hearing that, and her tension eased. "Okay."

He gently patted her head and then left.

But what Sophie didn't know was that Claude had sent people to spy on Olivia. He hadn't received any updates yet.

Claude stopped in his tracks, surprised. "What happened?"

Later that day, in Olivia's room, a doctor was checking the baby's heartbeat. He listened intently to the steady thumps through the machine before finally speaking, "The baby is healthy, its heartbeat is strong." Tyler, who was also in the room, nodded in relief.

Olivia looked defeated, her arms raised as if giving up. She held that pose for a long time.

"She needs a few more check-ups. She might have to visit the hospital," the doctor replied.

"Okay, I'll make sure she gets there," Tyler responded.

"Good. Also, encourage her to walk

Tyler nodded in agreement. "I'll do that."

"Alright, everything looks good for now. I'll be going," said the doctor.

"I won't see you out," Tyler replied, still focused on Olivia.

The doctor said his goodbyes and left. Tyler then sat next to Olivia, who was still staring blankly.

"Still in shock?" he gently asked,

that she was pregnant. After all, she had lost her memory. He knew he had to give her time to adjust.
