“It’s alright…” Olivia said softly.
Claude wasn’t sure what she meant by that.
Olivia added, “There’s a big age gap between my sister and me. We’re not very close, but she’s nice to
me,”
Claude just asked, “How big is the gap?”
“Um… Seven years.”
“That’s quite a gap, but I can tell you care for her.”
Olivia mumbled. “Mm–hmm.”
They chatted for a bit longer before falling into silence.

him. “Thanks, Claude.”
Claude also got out. “For what, silly?”
Hearing him call her ‘silly‘ made Olivia feel a bit embarrassed. She stood beside him, feeling warmth
despite the chilly wind.
He looked down at her. “Let’s go.”
She nodded. “Okay.”
As they walked and chatted, they reached Naomi’s room. Seeing Hillary there surprised Olivia, causing
her to freeze momentarily.
Naomi noticed them at the door and smiled. “Olivia!”
Tyler, speaking with the doctor, turned to see Olivia with Claude at the door.
Naomi was focused on Olivia, not noticing the man behind her. She was about to invite Olivia in when
she spotted Claude and looked intrigued.
Olivia hesitated to enter and stood still. “He’s Claude, my friend’s brother.”
Naomi didn’t recognize him at first, but after a closer look, she was surprised. “Claude?”
Claude smiled at her. “Long time no see, Naomi.”
Memories flooded back. It had been a few years since their last encounter, so his sudden appearance

However, as she glanced between Olivia and Claude, Naomi couldn’t shake the feeling that something
was going on between them.

come back?”
She then looked to the corner. “Tyler, Claude is back.”
Tyler closed the file and handed it to the doctor. After hearing Naomi’s words, he walked over from the
corner to the door. “We’ve crossed paths before.” Tyler’s gaze was chilly as he looked at Claude.
Claude met his gaze, and though their expressions remained mostly unchanged, there was an
unspoken tension between them.
Naomt inquired, “Where? Why didn’t I know about it? You didn’t mention anything.”
Olivia was also curious.
Tyler didn’t answer Naomi’s question, but Claude just smiled.
