A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 138

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 138

Vivian felt realization budding within her like a germinating seed; she somewhat understood what was going on now, yet she didn’t have the courage to face it.

Because of his fit of anger just now, he didn’t notice that Vivian’s eyes were reddened and her gaze was somewhat unfocused.

Panic rose within him the moment he saw Vivian’s state and he moved her back on the bed and waved his hands in front of her.

Vivian frowned and said, “I’m not blind. I can still see; it’s just a bit blurry.”

“Blurry?” Finnick’s voice became softer. “Damn it. Why didn’t you look for a doctor then?”

As he said that, he pressed the bell to summon the doctor before Vivian could react.

Meanwhile, Vivian noticed that Finnick was very jumpy and easily agitated that day, unlike his usual demeanor. “I thought it wasn’t anything serious, but honestly, it actually hurts a little now.”

The worry in his eyes grew even deeper when he heard that, and he momentarily forgot what happened before. He covered Vivian’s eyes with his hands to force her to shut them. “Close your eyes. Let’s wait for the doctor.”

Vivian lay down calmly on the bed and didn’t resist his touch. She thought that everything was fine as long as Finnick wasn’t angry.

Soon, the doctor arrived. After inspecting Vivian, the doctor explained that her eyes were just exposed to smoke, and the usage of eye drops would alleviate her discomfort. The doctor also added that her eyes were drier than usual, so she was encouraged to not use her eyes for the next few days.

Vivian understood the doctor’s words as limiting her exposure to books, phones, and such, but the fastidious Finnick asked the doctor to prepare a blindfold for her.

“Isn’t that too much?” She couldn’t help but protest, “It’s not something serious anyway. I can’t live a normal life like this!”
