The Beginning Of All Sins

Chapter 127

They sat together in silence, the weight of unspoken thoughts heavy in the air.
After a prolonged pause, Tyler broke the silence. “Take your meds.”

Naomi nodded, then hesitated before bringing up a topic. “I heard you're
fundraising?” It was her alma mater, so she asked, “For me?”

She knew people wanted to send their thoughts and prayers to her. After
contemplating for a moment, she said, “There's no point, Tyler. Don’t waste your
time because of me.”

Tyler didn’t say anything and just handed the medicine to her. “Just take it.”
Their interactions had been limited lately, and Naomi was suspecting something.
Now, she couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt. If it weren't for her health, Tyler
wouldn't have to spend so much time at the hospital.

She felt like a burden. “I feel like I'm dragging you down.”

Olivia went to the university in the afternoon, still pondering Tyler's morning
medical appointment. Lost in thought, she strolled from the lake area toward the
lecture hall.

As she walked, a familiar voice called out uncertainly, “Olivia?”

his gaze fixed on her.

“Claude?”

He grinned. “I thought I was mistaken, but it is you.”

Excitedly, Olivia approached him. “What brings you here?”

“Sightseeing. I heard the scenery here is worth it,” Claude replied, indicating the
camera in his hand.

Olivia was surprised by his visit based on her recommendation. She wasn’t
serious about it, as the view was rather common. Feeling a bit embarrassed, she
remarked, “Did you get any good shots?”

Claude chuckled. “It's not bad. The swans here are well-fed.”

Although Olivia sensed a teasing tone, she couldn't be sure.

While they were talking, a man wearing a suit walked over to Claude. “Let me
show you another spot.

Olivia didn’t recognize the man.

Claude introduced them. “This is my assistant. I came to take pictures so he
tagged along.”

Olivia greeted him. “Nice to meet you.”

He returned the greeting with a polite smile. They seemed to have other plans
and couldn't linger, so

Claude bid farewell. “I need to go, Olivia. Let's meet again.”

“Sure, go ahead.”
