188 casual chat

After dinner, the two of them casually started chatting.

Olivia Taylor seemed to feel a degree of warmth with Renard Quinn; in the short time they had spoken, their conversation flowed like that of old friends.

It was a feeling much like when she first met Linda Cooper.

Or perhaps, it was Renard Quinn's respectful demeanor that gradually put her at ease.

As they chatted, the subject of Olivia's claustrophobia came up.

He was genuinely curious and asked tentatively, "May I ask you some personal questions? If you feel offended, you don't need to answer, and please do not be upset."

Olivia assumed that Renard would ask about her emotional state.

She had already come to terms with her unfortunate marriage.

However, unexpectedly, Renard's first question was, "How did you develop your claustrophobia? Was it innate or due to a particular event?"

He was actually asking about her disease.
