Never Late, Never Away Chapter 551
Since the life-threatening situation was dissolved, the people in the hall had nothing left to be afraid of. They were all looking at the robber with scornful looks on their faces, wanting to tear him to pieces.
At the moment, the robber was tied up and gagged with some tablecloth, so the only noise he could make was some unrecognizable murmurs. However, his eyes were still burning with resentment.
Not long after, the police arrived and recorded how everything went down before they took the robber away. With that, the crowd eventually dispersed.
As soon as Finnick took down the robber, he had been by Vivian’s side, softly stroking her back to calm her down. His heart ached as he looked at Vivian who was sitting on the floor.
She must be terrified just now. If I were any later, I might not get to see her ever again. How could she be so stupid? Was it really worth it?
Even though he had that thought in mind, Finnick was still touched by Vivian’s gesture. So he took her into his arms and comforted her, “It’s fine now. There’s nothing to be scared of anymore. It’s all over.”
Indeed, Vivian was still dumbfounded as she leaned on Finnick’s chest, unable to come to her senses.
The two of them stayed like that for quite a long while before Vivian was finally able to calm down. As soon as she did, she realized that Finnick was the one hugging her. Vivian’s face flushed, and she immediately broke .
“Are you okay?” Finnick inquired as he looked at her. He felt disappointed when she broke out of his arms. Is she still not coming back to me?
Vivian stood up and shook her head. “I’m fine.”
Having said that, her legs were numb because she stayed in that position for too long. Hence, she almost fell back onto the floor. Nevertheless, Finnick was quick to react and caught her before the fall.
Vivian felt awkward in his arms yet again, but she realized that she would fall if she let go of him. So, the only thing she could do at that moment was to use Finnick as a temporary support.
