The Beginning Of All Sins

Chapter 498

Ana's eyes had not left Olivia. She was still reeling from the fact that things had turned out this way. Her heart was racing. She heard the butler, and yet she did not move. Maisy was a lot more compliant. She left with the butler immediately. Ana watched her go and followed suit.

Seeing the Harrises gone, Hillary and Naomi thought it was better if they left, too. Only Darren remained, still weeping. "Oh God, not my daughter..."

Tyler stood there expressionlessly.

Camilla approached him. "Please, Mr. Jones. The doctor and the nurses need the space to give Olivia the best she needs right now."

Darren had no choice. He left, too.

Outside, Ana seemed lost in her thoughts while Maisy was tearing up.

"Don't worry about this. We should hear what the doctor thinks," the butler said comfortingly.

Maisy was so crestfallen she could hardly reply. Ana simply stood aside in silence as the butler tried to comfort Maisy.

Naomi, Hillary, and Darren emerged from the ward. Ana and Maisy's expression changed.

The butler knew what was coming between the two and suggested, "Let's wait in the car, ma'ams."

Ana and Maisy looked away. They followed the butler's suggestion and started toward the elevator.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Hillary watched them leave with a faint grimace, but she already knew that the Harrises were never going to be nice to them.

At that moment, Naomi suddenly let out a sob. "She's like this because... because of us, right?"

Hillary may not feel as conflicted as Naomi was, but she felt bad, too Olivia had been part of their family since she was in her teens. There were bound to be certain elements of emotional attachment.

"Naomi, this isn't your fault. We don't know what has befallen Olivia, so don't get too bogged down by your speculations, hmm?"

Naomi pressed her hand against her chest. "But it is my fault! If it weren't for me... she would have never ended up like this! We neglected her emotional needs and limits, Mom!"

Hillary felt a pang and patted her back. "Enough. It's no good making speculations. Maybe she'll be back after two days! Besides, Olivia has been one of the Harrises for a while now. This cannot be all of our fault. You should never think everything is our fault!"

Naomi, however, was certain she was the one who had done this to Olivia.

"I told you two! This wasn't a good plan by any stretch!" Darren suddenly spoke up. "Now look at what we've done! We've turned her mad!"

This was exactly what Hillary would

never want to hear. "So what? You want Naomi to die?

to die? How much better do we need to treat her? She's

being taken care of by the ses most of the time. How can this be Naomi's fault?! Use your senses when you talk!"

Darren was uncharacteristically defiant. "Of course all you care about is your own daughter!"

"How dare you talk to me like that?! Are you telling me you'd rather Naomi die?!"

They were his daughters, and Darren loved both of them. Startled by m Hillary's accusation he turned to Naomi and stammered, "N-No that's not what I mean. I was just..."
