As he turned her around forcefully, he was astonished to see tears streaming down her cheeks.

Vivian yelled at the top of her voice, “Let go of me! My mom needs surgery! Let go!”

Finnick’s eyes darkened, but he did not let go of her. Instead, he pulled her into a tight embrace and commanded, “Vivian, calm down! You won’t make it in time even if you go now. Let me call Noah and get him to the hospital.”

“No…” Vivian instinctively rejected his offer to help. However, she saw the flashing anger in his eyes the moment she spoke.

“Vivian! How long more are you going to keep this up? Do you want your mother to recover?” he bellowed. The next moment, he noticed the slight wariness in her eyes and softened his tone. “Did you forget that I’m your husband? Please, let me help you during times like this.”

Please, let me help you during times like this.

Vivian’s aggression subsided upon hearing this as she looked at him in a daze.

She did not expect an arrogant man like him to speak like this.

He wants to help. He even said “please”.

Seeing that Vivian is calmer, Finnick fished out his phone and called Noah. “Hello? Noah, go to the hospital now and arrange for Vivian’s mom to go for surgery. Yes, it’s an emergency. Also, pay for the hospital bills.”

He kept his eyes on Vivian as he spoke.

Meanwhile, Vivian lowered her head like a child who committed wrong. At last, she chose to let him help.

After the call, Finnick took her hand and said, “Let’s go. I’ll drive you to the hospital.”

He led her out of the house as he spoke.

When they reached the entrance, Vivian remembered something and quickly stopped. “Finnick, your wheelchair…”

Xavier told her that Finnick faked being a cripple to guard himself against his brother. There might be uninvited trouble if someone saw him standing.

Finnick paused in his tracks and glanced sideways at her. With what seemed like a smile, he asked, “Are you afraid that people will find out?”
