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.”
