A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 385

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 385

As soon as she finished her piece, Vivian scrutinized Evelyn’s face for the slightest shift in her expression. If what Evelyn told the Morrisons was true, then she would definitely remember the janitor’s appearance.

After all, according to Evelyn, she had suffered from amnesia after the accident. If so, the face of the first person she had seen upon waking up should be etched in her brain, especially since he was her savior.

“I don’t know too,” Evelyn confessed, her eyes flickering with an unfathomable emotion. There was a slight tremor in her voice when she spoke. “The person had already left when I came to. It was the nurse who told me that a janitor had brought me to the hospital.”

“I distinctly remember you telling the Morrisons that you saw the janitor the moment you woke up. Why are you contradicting yourself now?” Vivian caught the inconsistency in Evelyn’s tale and clung to it like a dog with a bone.

“Did I? I said that?” Evelyn could barely keep her calm facade. Anxiety rose within her. “You must have misheard me. I’m sure that I never mentioned meeting that janitor.”

“In that case, how did you know that he untied you and Finnick? You also said that he dragged you out of the burning building first but couldn’t go back to save Finnick because the fire grew too big. How did you know all of the details? Surely, the janitor told you everything.” At this point, Vivian was almost positive that everything Evelyn had told them was no more than an elaborate concoction.

“I-I initially…” Evelyn stuttered, rendered speechless by Vivian’s merciless bombardment. She eventually collected herself and snapped at Vivian, “What is it that you want, Vivian?”

“Evelyn, you’re a liar,” Vivian announced with conviction. “You were not rescued by a janitor that year. Be honest and tell me right now what exactly happened that year! How did you escape?” Infuriated, Vivian’s voice went up quite a few decibels.

“You’re right. I lied.” Evelyn decided to come clean. Vivian had seen through her deception, so there was no need to keep up the pretense anymore. “I escaped on my own,” she confessed.
