Chapter 706Never Late, Never Away Chapter 706
After getting the doctor to check up on Rachel and making sure she was fine, Vivian’s heart finally
lowered back into her chest.
In the following days, Vivian remained in the hospital taking care of Rachel. During those days, Evelyn
came to visit several times, but both of them knew that her visit was not due to her concern for Rachel’s
health.
As Finnick was worried about Vivian being alone in the hospital, he went there to keep her company
whenever he was . That was the main reason for Evelyn’s continuous visits to the hospital.
Every time she saw Finnick, she would gaze at him with watery eyes. She would then apologize,
hoping that he could forgive her. Rachel could not bear to watch her daughter’s miserable look.
Naturally, she helped her to persuade Finnick that Evelyn did not mean to do what she did and for him
to give her a chance.
Finnick could ignore Evelyn, but he could not do the same to Rachel, especially since the older woman
was still recovering from her surgery. After the scene repeated several times, Finnick informed Vivian
about his decision. From then on, he rarely visited the hospital.
Meanwhile, as Vivian was too busy taking care of Rachel, she had forgotten to ask Finnick about the
incident from five years ago.
“Vivian, why isn’t Finnick coming to the hospital recently?” Evelyn asked sweetly as she held onto
Vivian’s hand in front of Rachel.
In response, Vivian retracted her hand and did not try to conceal the hatred in her eyes. “How would I
know? Maybe he’s busy at work. If you want to meet him, you can meet him in his office.”Evelyn immediately teared up at that. It was as if she did not sense Evelyn’s hatred for her, for she
grabbed Vivian’s hands again and sobbed, “I want to meet him, but… but Finnick won’t want to see me.
Vivian, help me, please. Can’t you invite him out to meet me?”
“This is between him and you. There’s nothing I can do about it.” Prying her hand away from hers
again, Vivian rose to her feet and kept a distance away from Evelyn. She’s always acting like this. As
long as Rachel is around, she’ll pretend as if she’s on good terms with me. It’s disgusting.
“Vivian, how can you talk in that way with Evelyn?” Rachel reprimanded. Her heart broke with how
Vivian kept dismissing Evelyn.
“Evelyn already knows that she’s in the wrong for what happened back then. What’s wrong with helping
her meet with Finnick? You can’t lose your trust in her forever just because of one mistake of hers!”
“Yes, Vivian, I know I’ve done wrong. I won’t do anything to hurt you again. I swear!” Evelyn quickly
noveldramaadded.
“I’ve already divorced Finnick, so I don’t have a say about who he meets and who he doesn’t,” Vivian
fumed. She could no longer suppress her anger anymore. I’ve been slaving away taking care of
Rachel, but all I get is a reprimand.
“Evelyn, if you want to meet Finnick, go ahead. I’m no one to him and vice versa. I have no right to
decide whether he forgives or not.”
With that said, Vivian took her phone and left the ward.
After exiting the hospital, she hailed a cab back to the Morrison residence. Recently, she had been
exhausted, both mentally and physically. All she wanted now was to have a long rest, or else she would
have a mental breakdown.When she reached home, she realized Benedict was still not home from his trip. Similarly, Larry was
not around; he was still in school. After greeting Ms. Booker, the nanny, she headed straight to her
bedroom to sleep. She was simply too tired for anything else.
It had been days since she had a good rest, so her sleep was a deep one. In fact, she did not even
dream. By the time she woke, the sky was already dark.
Rubbing her eyes, Vivian sat up on the bed. Right then, the scent of corn soup from downstairs wafted
across her nose and made her stomach growl.
