While they were together, he overheard them talking about someone named Naomi.
One of his friend's girlfriends mentioned, “Did you guys hear? Naomi is very sick, and she’s offering a lot of money for blood donations.” Claude listened quietly while sipping his wine. When he heard her say, “She’s offering 500,000 as a reward, “he looked up.

Just then, another friend chimed in, “Yeah, | heard about it too. It almost made the news, but it seems like someone tried to stop it. Tyler is the one who's putting up the money.” Claude’s expression turned serious, and someone else asked, “Isn't it weird? Didn't Tyler break off his engagement with Naomi? Why would he still want to help her?” Nobody had an answer.
“It’s strange because Tyler is married now and they're expecting a baby. But he and Naomi were together for a long time. Maybe he feels he owes it to her, even though they're not in love anymore.” As everyone continued discussing Tyler and Naomi, Claude stood up, put his wine glass down, and said, I need to use the bathroom.” Everyone watched as he walked off. In the corridor, he paused, pulled out his phone, and sent a text.
[How are you doing? | heard about your sister. Are you okay?] Claude waited, staring into space. [x] When he didn’t receive Olivia's reply, he tried calling her next, but he got a busy signal. He looked upset for a moment, then put away his phone and left, his figure casting a long shadow.
Olivia was lying in bed when she got Claude’s message. She held her phone tight, then turned it off, her hands shaking.
She hadn’t been eating well since Tyler left.
The next morning, she looked weak. When Maisy saw her looking so unwell, she asked, “What's wrong.
dear? Didn't you sleep well?” “I'm okay,” Olivia replied, looking pale. “I think | slept too much, and it messed up my sleep pattern.”
