Never Late, Never Away Chapter 129
At that instant, Vivian seemed to have recognized that flamboyant, yet warm Fabian she once knew.
Her eyes dimmed and avoided his gaze. “It’s already in the past, so there’s no point bringing it up now.”
Indeed, what’s done was already done. An apology would not make anything better.
However, on a similar note, Vivian knew that there was no use holding on to it and she should let bygones be bygones.
It was still not easy for her to pretend that it did not matter at all and tell Fabian that she had forgiven him, but she also did not intend to take any revenge against him.
After all, he was her first love whom she had once loved deeply. He was present during the most wonderful part of her youth and she did not want to ruin him nor their beautiful memories together.
“Vivian, I…” Fabian felt a stinging pain in his heart. Just when he wanted to say something in reply, Vivian had already looked up and said, “Thanks for sending me back. I have to go now. Bye.”
Not giving the man a chance to respond, Vivian struggled immediately after she finished speaking and got off the car.
Fabian remained seated in the car as he looked at Vivian’s back, feeling dejected.
Is she not willing to give me a chance to apologize?
Fabian continued to sit absentmindedly in the car without driving off. Before he realized, two hours had already gone by and it was already the darkest of the night.
The man slapped himself awake and was about to leave when he detected a burnt smell coming from the direction of the villa.
Meanwhile, after Vivian got out of Fabian’s car, she returned to the villa and as usual, had dinner and washed up before going to bed.
It could have been just her imagination, but Vivian felt especially sleepy that night. She was feeling so light-headed that she almost lost her balance while showering and fell asleep once she hit the sack. It was a dreamless night for the woman.
Vivian wasn’t sure how long she had slept when she was woken up by a gush of smoke attacking her nostrils.
Vivian let out bouts of coughs as she struggled to open her eyes, but smoke went into her eyes and she felt a stinging pain.
The woman quickly realized something was amiss and climbed out of bed. However, she only realized when she tried to stand up that she was aching all over and barely had the strength to support herself.
What on earth is happening?
