Never Late, Never Away Chapter 556
Vivian turned around to look at Rachel as she joyously listened to Evelyn’s voice through the phone, secretly letting out a sigh. She’s just a mother that loves her daughter. There’s nothing wrong with that.
Despite all the mixed feelings Vivian had, Rachel did, in fact, raised her. Hence, she could not leave Rachel to die like that.
With that in mind, she accepted Evelyn’s invitation. “Alright. Send me the location. I’ll go look for you.”
Vivian figured there was a chance that she could convince Evelyn to donate her bone marrow to Rachel. No matter how slim the chances might be, she needed to try.
She could not just sit and watch as Rachel slowly withered away day by day. She could never do that.
After they decided on a time, Vivian ended the call. Meanwhile, Rachel was looking at her phone with a blank stare.
It had been a long time since she talked to Evelyn. Rachel knew Evelyn did not like her as a mother because she was really shabby, unable to match Evelyn’s standards. Thus, she never tried to call Evelyn for fear of irritating her.
Rachel figured that Evelyn already had a lot on her plate since she lost both her legs and was forced onto a wheelchair. Rachel did not want to give her any more unnecessary problems. This was all my fault. The child has nothing to do with it.
“I’ll be leaving then. I’m meeting Evelyn.” Vivian raised her voice seeing that Rachel was still spacing out.
Finally, Rachel snapped back into reality. “Alright. Go and see Evelyn. I won’t delay you any further.”
There were hints of envy in her voice, and it made Vivian perplexed. She could not tell whether she should feel upset or pity for Rachel. Or should I feel empathy?
Vivian was also a mother now. She could understand how Rachel was feeling, how she longed to see her daughter. Nonetheless, her daughter was Evelyn Morrison. A cold-hearted woman whose evil knew no bounds. There was a high chance that she might never get to feel any intimacy from her own daughter.
