A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 441

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 441

“Really?” Vivian looked at Finnick tearfully. He was her only hope.

“Of course.” Finnick wiped away her tears and stroked her cheek. “She’ll be okay. Just trust me, won’t you?”

“I-I will.” Vivian nodded vigorously. “If you say she’ll be fine, then she will be fine. I trust you.”

“Good. Shall we go see her first?”

“Absolutely not!” exclaimed Vivian, who was agitated again. “I haven’t told her anything, and I don’t want her to see me like this!”

“In that case, why don’t we head home?”

Vivian nodded weakly at that.

Then, Finnick turned around and gently escorted a weakened Vivian to the car that was waiting outside.

Throughout the ride home, Finnick held her in his arms.

She was probably emotionally exhausted. In a few moments, Vivian fell asleep on his shoulder. Her eyes were still wet with lingering teardrops, but Finnick thought that she looked particularly vulnerable.

When the couple arrived home, Finnick had to carry her out of the car and into the house. Given how the news took a toll on her, Vivian never woke up despite the commotion.

Finnick gingerly carried her to the bedroom and set her down on the bed. After he tucked her in, he lay down next to her in silence.

Although Vivian was in deep slumber, it was not a fitful rest. She felt herself weave in and out of dreams that passed into nightmares. Now and then, tears would wet the corners of her closed eyes.
