Chapter 264
The Beginning Of All Sins
Naomi called Tyler at night, and he came over around 7 pm. The whole trip to the hospital, Tyler looked troubled and kept gazing out of the car window, allowing the breeze to blow on him.
âDonât worry too much about the NT scan results. Lots of times, everything turns out fine after the more detailed amniocentesis test. Plus, problems usually happen to older moms, and Olivia is young. Itâs probably nothing.â
Tyler was trying not to worry too much, but he couldnât help it. He merely gave a short. response to that.
After a while, he said, âFirst, we need to help Olivia not to stress too much.â
Linda was also worried because Olivia had been trying so hard to keep her baby safe, and it was taking a toll on her mental health. Stress could lead to a miscarriage, which was the last thing they wanted.
When they arrived at the hospital, Tyler hurried to Naomiâs room, not mentioning Oliviaâs test to her.
âWhatâs so urgent?â Tyler asked gently as he walked in.
Naomi, not wanting to start a fight, replied calmly, âDad has something he wants to talk to you about.â
youâve Just then, Darren walked in with a bowl of fruit, saying cheerfully, âItâs about Olivia. I know sheâs been staying with your family, and weâre really thankful for how much cared for her. Iâve been feeling bad, so we were thinking it might be good for her to come stay with us.â
He said that in one breath and went on, âEven though she lives there as your wife, she should come home, right? Itâd be rude.â
Tyler stared at Darren, while Naomi stayed quiet. She knew this was something Darren would have to handle. It seemed reasonable, and Tyler couldnât really argue with it.
Darren, looking a bit nervous, waited for Tylerâs response.
Tyler, after a pause, said flatly, âYou donât need to worry about Olivia staying with us. Weâre happy to have her. But have you talked to her about this?â
Darren only called Olivia once after she moved to the Harrises. He did it to show he cared.
about her and the baby, and that was the only time he called. It wasnât that he didnât want to call more;
he was just afraid to do it because of Hillary.
He looked uncomfortable. âI thought Iâd talk to her after we talked it over with you and Naomi.â
Tyler noticed his guilty look but didnât call him out. âLetâs decide after youâve talked to her.â
Darren felt like a bad father and quickly asked, âHowâs she doing?â
âShe did an NT scan recently, but the results are not good. Sheâs doing amniocentesis in a few days.â
Darren and Naomi frowned at hearing that.
âDoes that mean there might be something wrong with the baby?â Darren asked, looking nervous.
Naomi was nervous too.
âWe wonât know until after the amniocentesis,â âTyler said, trying to keep everyone calm. Darren instantly looked at Naomi, both filled with concern.
