A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1005

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1005

Instead of bombarding her with questions, Vivian opened her eyes wide and waited for Rachel’s explanation.

“Larry has visited me a couple of times, after all. I couldn’t bring myself to kill him,” Rachel added. Vivian perked up at her words. Does that mean my little pumpkin isn’t dead? Is she going to tell me where he is?

She pricked up her ears so she wouldn’t miss any information. Finnick felt his heart thumping as he waited for Rachel’s confession. He didn’t forget to observe if Rachel was lying. For now, he didn’t pick up any clues that she was lying.

“I left Larry with a friend of mine in the countryside. I’ve written the address down for you. You can find him there,” she concluded and presented a piece of crumpled note to Vivian.

After that, Vivian didn’t know how she made her way out of the hospital. Her emotions were a complex mixture. Previously, she was given hope, which ended in utter disappointment. Can I believe Rachel’s words?

She stood outside the hospital in a daze. Finnick came to her and ruffled her hair. “Actually, I’ve investigated about Larry. He’s still alive.”

Vivian’s eyes went wide in shock. What did he just say? My little pumpkin is still alive? So he had never meant to say that as a means to placate me?

Finnick nodded firmly. “When you saw that body, I told you that information, but you refused to trust me. I was planning to locate our son before telling you everything.”

After Vivian heard his explanation, she went forward and flung her arms around him as tears welled up in her eyes.

She had been waiting for this exact moment for her whole life. Thinking that Larry had died, she had struggled for a long time before finally letting go. Now that she found out her son was still alive, the pent-up feelings in her heart faded away.

“Finnick, our little pumpkin isn’t dead. He’s still alive! He’s not dead,” uttered Vivian as tears of joy rolled down her cheeks. Finnick’s collars turned wet in no time, but she was too thrilled to notice it.
