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
ift?”
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?”
