Chapter 380Never Late, Never Away Chapter 380
However, she had always sensed a strange of closeness when it comes to Benedict. Now that she had
heard him said those words to her, Vivian felt even more moved.
Following a few hours in the hospital, Vivian considered whether to leave the hospital since Evelyn had
not awoken yet. As if reading Vivian’s mind, Benedict stated, “Vivian, Evelyn is fine now. I can guard
here by myself. You can go home first.”
Vivian felt a little embarrassed because instead of staying with Evelyn as she mentioned earlier, now
she wanted to leave first. However, she assumed that Evelyn wouldn’t want to see her when she
regained consciousness.
“Alright, then I’ll go back first. Take care of yourself.” Without coming up with excuses, Vivian told
Benedict and left.
She returned home to find Finnick already back from work.
“Didn’t I say I’ll ask Noah to pick you up? Why did you come home by yourself?” In fact, Finnick
informed Noah to be on standby before leaving work. Finnick didn’t expect her to come home without
saying anything.
“It’s alright, I happened to come across a cab when I was walking out.”
Finnick did not want to dwell on that topic, then he asked, “How’s Evelyn?”
Upon hearing Finnick ask about Evelyn, Vivian’s heart sank immensely the moment she recalled the
scene from this afternoon where he carried Evelyn to the hospital in a panic and brushed her aside.However he seemed to be rather calm upon mentioning Evelyn now, so it was better for her to not say
much.
“I’m not too sure. When I left, she wasn’t awake yet.”
Finnick nodded and did not say much after that.
As soon as Vivian woke up the next morning, she packed up and went to work at the magazine
company. It wouldn’t make her feel good if she were to skip work for another day after taking so many
days off.
“Hello everyone, long time no see.” Despite her smile and joyful greeting, Vivian noticed none of her
colleagues responded but stare at her in an inexplicable manner. It was as if their gazes were filled
with… pity.
noveldrama“What’s the matter?” Vivian was puzzled by everyone’s reaction and wondered if she had missed any
big news by not going to work for a few days.
Everybody kept doing their own things with their head lowered down. No one answered Vivian’s
question.
As she sat down, with a puzzled look on her face, Vivian surveyed her colleagues around her. She
noticed that everyone was looking at her secretly. However, the moment their gazes met, they hurriedly
turned away and pretended to be busy.
She was really baffled by that. Vivian stood up, walked over to Sarah’s seat and pulled her into the
pantry quietly.
“Vivian…” Sarah stared at Vivian worriedly, then she pulled Vivian’s hand while she spoke with
conviction, “Vivian, you don’t need to worry. I believe Mr. Norton is not that type of person.”“Huh?” After hearing Sarah say that, Vivian was utterly confused. “What has this got to do with Finnick?
What’s happening, Vivian? Why are you acting weirdly too?”
“Vivian, weren’t you there?” Sarah was also confused by Vivian.
“What do you mean?”
“It’s regarding Evelyn returning back from the dead. Weren’t you at the cemetery?”
So this is the reason why everyone’s acting weirdly. Vivian smiled bitterly. And she thought she missed
some big news, not expecting it to be about her. This matter was trending on the internet and widely
spread all over Twitter. Everyone would definitely know about this.
“Vivian, you should not believe those words on the Internet, they are all just speculations.” Sarah
continued comforting Vivian, “Even though you are not as beautiful as Evelyn, I believe that Mr. Norton
is not the kind of person who only cares about appearance. He wouldn’t abandon you for sure.”
Vivian laughed at herself in her heart when she realized that even Sarah, who has always been by her
side, didn’t think she was as good as Evelyn too.
When Sarah noticed that her words did not only fail to comfort Vivian, but also made her mood even
worse, only then did she realize what she had just said.
“Vivian, I don’t mean that… I…” Sarah panicked as she tried to explain to Vivian.
“It’s alright, I understand. Go back to your work.” Vivian patted Sarah’s shoulder to let her know that
she knew she meant no harm.
