Hillary comforted Naomi, "Don't worry too much. It's not as serious as it seems. We'll check with Tyler after her examination is done."

Later that evening, Tyler was at the doctor's office discussing Olivia's examination results.
"We can rule out any traumas caused by physical illnesses. It's clear she's suffering from stress-related trauma," the doctor explained, his tone grave. "Conditions like these can vary—some people recover over time, but for others, it becomes a lifelong issue. Unfortunately, it's severe for her."
"How severe?" Tyler asked.
"She may never fully recover," the doctor replied.
Tyler's expression hardened, and he frowned deeply.
The doctor continued, "It seems she experienced a severe shock and has been under extreme stress, leading to a mental breakdown."
"Is there no way to help her?" Tyler asked as darkness filled the room, mirroring the mood.
"Since she's pregnant, we can't use psychotropic drugs. We recommend that your family takes care of her to prevent any harm or self-harm. First, she needs to give birth," the doctor suggested. "This isn't the right time for treatment. Psychotropic drugs could harm the baby, so we're cautious not to treat her yet."
