Chapter 88

Mrs. Jones continued to sob uncontrollably, unable to stop her tears.Darren tried his best to comfort her. “She'll be alright, don’t worry. Tylerhas brought in the best doctors.” Despite his words of reassurance, hisown voice trembled, sounding more like he was comforting himself.Mrs. Jones, still crying, turned her gaze toward Olivia, her eyes filledwith confusion and fear. She hesitated before asking, “Did you comeinto contact with cats or dogs?”

Olivia's hands trembled, and she was slow to respond to the question.Mrs. Jones asked again, “Did you touch cats or dogs?”

Finally, after a long pause, Olivia managed to stammer, “I... rescued aRi?

Before she could finish, Mrs. Jones grabbed her arms forcefully, hergrip tight. and unyielding.

Darren was alarmed by his wife's actions, and he quickly intervened.“What are you doing?! Why are you grabbing Olivia?”

Ignoring her husband, Mrs. Jones' face contorted with anger andblame. She shouted at Olivia, “You know what? I shouldn't havebrought you home all those years ago. I did it out of pity, because youwere young and motherless. But the fortune teller warned me that wecan only have one daughter! Just as I suspected, you've brought badluck to Naomi! You want her dead, don’t you?!"

Mrs. Jones unleashed all the pent-up resentment she had harbored foryears. She let her emotions pour out in an uncontrollable torrent ofanger.

Olivia stood there in silence, her face pale, absorbing the accusationshurled at her.

Mrs. Jones continued, her voice laced with bitterness, “You've beentrying for so long, but you're still not pregnant. You don't want Naomi torecover, do you?!" She shook Olivia forcefully, demanding answers.“Tell me! Tell me now!

Olivia felt her body weakening under the weight of Mrs. Jones's anger.Darren tried to intervene, urging his wife to stop. “Julia!”

However, Julia ignored her husband's pleas and persisted in accusingOlivia. “I won't forgive you if anything happens to Naomi!”

Olivia didn’t cry, nor did she move. She allowed Julia to vent her angerand frustration on her, bearing the verbal assault in silence.

Nearly an hour passed before the emergency room doors finallyopened. Julia rushed over to the doctor. “Doctor! How is mydaughter?”

Wearing a somber expression, the doctor delivered the news. “She'sstable for now, but she's in a coma.”

Olivia was stunned to hear that.

Julia turned her accusing gaze toward her once more, adding more fuelto the fire. “You did this on purpose, didn’t you? You want to take herplace!”

Olivia, her eyes wide with disbelief, shuddered at the accusation. Shefound it hard to believe that Julia could say such hurtful things.

She took a step back, shaking her head as she tried to explain, “Iwashed my hands and changed my clothes before coming here. I hadno idea this would happen, Aunt. I really...” She wanted to explain, buthow could Julia believe her?

Julia approached her, coming to a halt in front of her, her gaze lockingonto hers.

Just as Olivia was about to explain further, Julia abruptly raised herhand and delivered a resounding slap across Olivia's face. The loudsound echoed through the corridor.

The sound echoed through the corridor, and Olivia's cheek bore theunmistakable mark of the slap.

Outside the emergency room, Tyler witnessed the entire scene, hisexpression hidden from view.
