A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 497

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 497

The doctor turned around and walked away, leaving Finnick standing alone in a daze.

Paraplegia? How is it possible for Evelyn to be so severely injured? I didn’t use that much force when I shook her off.

But now was not the time to shirk responsibility. It seemed that Evelyn did fall down the stairs when he shook his arm from her hold. He definitely had to bear responsibility for this.

What should I do now? How am I going to break the news to Evelyn? She’s still so young. How will she react when she finds out that she has to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair?

Finnick collapsed onto a chair outside of the operating room. He slumped over and buried his face in his hands as he drowned himself in guilt.

It was all his fault. He shouldn’t have been so rough when he flung his arm from Evelyn’s grasp. He should have kept his cool and talked to her calmly. Otherwise, this would not have happened. What was he going to do now?

Noah had been waiting with Finnick outside of the operating room. He was shocked as well after hearing what the doctor had to say. If it was a bitter ploy against Finnick, then it was too big a price to pay for Evelyn.

Seeing Finnick deep in remorse and guilt, Noah felt terrible and worried.

Based on Finnick’s personality, he would definitely hold himself accountable for this incident. And he most likely would take the initiative to care for Evelyn for the rest of her life. Perhaps, Evelyn did it for this purpose.

But if that was the case, then what about Mrs. Norton? At the thought of that, Noah couldn’t help but asked Finnick, “Mr. Norton, do you want to go and look for Mrs. Norton now? I’ll book a plane ticket to A Nation right away.”

Finnick was silent and did not respond. Noah’s heart thumped at Finnick’s lack of response. It seemed that Evelyn had achieved her goal.

True enough, after a moment of contemplation, Finnick said, “Put that on hold first. We’ll talk about that later once I’ve settled things for Evelyn.”
