Chapter 128

As Olivia watched Claude leave, she realized she was going to be late for class. She hurried toward the

lecture hall building.

Along the way, she overheard snippets of conversation.

“I heard Harris Group donated for the lab building. They're extending the north wing and putting in a

bridge at the gates.”

“A bridge?”

“Well, have you noticed the traffic outside? It's always jammed with those bikes and electric scooters zipping around.”

The memory of almost being run over by one made Olivia pause in her tracks.

After her class ended, the heavy rain made her hesitate at the gates, contemplating her journey home.

Just then, her phone rang. It was Naomi.

She answered, “Hello?”

“You haven't visited me since our last chat,” Naomi said.

Caught off guard by the rain and Naomi's unexpected request, Olivia hesitated.

Naomi then said, “Can you come and spend time with me tonight?” Her classes ended earlier today, so hearing Naomi’s request, she bit her lip and agreed, “Okay.”

She hung up and as she stood there, Claude’s car pulled up. He rolled down the window. “Olivia?”

Surprised, Olivia turned to see Claude. “Claude?” Meeting him twice in a day was unusual.

“Trying to stay dry?” he asked, noting the rain.

Olivia was stuck because she didn’t usually bring an umbrella around. Smiling, Claude offered, “Hop in.”

She wasn't expecting that. “You're giving me a ride?”

Claude chuckled. “Why do you look so surprised? What's wrong with giving you a lift?"

She clarified, “I was actually heading to the hospital to see my sister.” “Naomi?”

Olivia confirmed with a nod.

After a brief pause, Claude said, “Get in. I haven't seen her in a while, so I'll come along.”

“You... You want to see my sister?”

Claude opened the door. “Get in.”

Since Claude was familiar with Naomi, Olivia had no reason to refuse. She got in and thanked him politely.

"Don’t mention it. Buckle up,” he said as she fastened her seatbelt. The journey was quiet and long due to the traffic jam caused by the rain. Claude attempted to ease the tension with conversation. “How's your sister doing?”

Olivia looked at her hands and thought about it. “Not doing great.” Claude tried to comfort her. “She'll get better. She has the best medical team.”

Olivia closed her eyes and nodded.

Noticing her silence, Claude remarked, “You two seem close.” Chapter 129
