A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 304

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 304

“Hey, wake up! What’s wrong with you?”

Being in a muddle, Finnick felt a pair of small and tender hands were slapping his face. Spending the last ounce of energy, he raised his arm and grabbed that pair of hands.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes. Dehydration caused him to have blurred vision after keeping his eyes closed for too long. He vaguely saw a little girl in a red princess dress with two ponytails, squatting by his side and looking at him anxiously.

“Hey, you woke up!”

That little girl grinned cheerfully and clapped her hands with joy, narrowing her eyes into crescents.

A moment later, she screamed suddenly.

Much to her surprise, there were some obvious bloodstains on her red princess dress, which was visible under the moonlight.

Looking along the bloodstain, that little girl immediately saw the wound on Finnick’s thigh.

“My goodness! That’s a lot of blood. What’s wrong with you?”

She then looked around vigilantly and whispered in Finnick’s ear, “Are the bad guys chasing you down?”

Finnick could feel the warm breath in his ear. Staring at that little girl in wide-eyed surprise, he did not expect her to trust him so much and treat him as a good guy.

“Yes!” Finnick replied instinctively, gazing into her eyes.

While patting her chest, she promised, “Don’t be afraid! I’m here to guide you and won’t let the bad guys hurt you again!”

Finnick felt calm for no reason and stared blankly at the little girl who was busy moving around in front of him.

Although he had not eaten or drunk for a long time and his body weight had been lost due to dehydration, his weight was obviously not something that a girl of his age could bear.

She was struggling, staggering, and carrying Finnick on her back.

That little girl could barely sustain his weight, and they almost fell to the ground. Gradually, she stabilized herself and moved forward.

The path was so long that Finnick thought it had no end.
