Naomi's limbs grew weak. It felt like a nightmare.
Darren was still crying.
Meanwhile, the doctors had begun scouting for the next candidate who could calm Olivia down for further examination.
Naomi and Hillary were brought close to the sickbed. They were not as crestfallen as Darren, but they looked lost when their eyes met Olivia's.
The doctor approached Olivia and asked, "Do you know any of these people?"
She responded by burying her head even more deeply into her knees.
"This is your mom and sister. Please, see if you know them."
Hillary and Naomi stood motionlessly, their eyes searching Olivia.
Olivia seemed to have shaken a little.
The doctor was surprised. At the same time, Tyler's gaze lit up.
Olivia shot a quick look at them while the crowd watched.
No familiarity lit up in her eyes. It was as if they were strangers to her.
Tyler's eyes darkened again.
Neither Naomi nor Hillary had expected that look from Olivia.
