Never Late, Never Away Chapter 605
There was a dull pain in his heart, and he took Vivian in his arms, without any care about the gazes of people around them.
“I’m sorry, Vivian. This apology isn’t from him but from me. I’m sorry I didn’t protect you well enough. I was the one who didn’t take good care of my own father. It’s my fault that you had to go through so much.”
“How can I blame you for this, silly.” Instead of pushing Fabian away, the woman put her arms around his waist gently. She knew that all she could do now was comforting him.
After finally calming down, he got up and said softly, “I actually came today to bid you farewell, Vivian.”
“What?” She was taken aback by his words.
“I’m sure you know that the public is putting a lot of pressure on my father’s affairs as well. Grandpa wants me to stay abroad for a while. He told me to come home only after everything has calmed down.”
“Oh, I see.” Vivian nodded her head lightly before adding, “Leaving this place for a while should be good for you. Things must have been hard on you.”
Fabian gave her a sad smile at that. “But I’m not planning to come back anymore. There’s nothing much left for me here. That’s why I came here to say goodbye. We might not be able to see each other so much anymore, Vivian.”
Why aren’t you coming back anymore? Vivian had wanted to asked him that, but the question was stuck in her throat.
There were times where everyone was left with no choice. Didn’t I leave this place for five years and not come back as well? Since he’d already made up his mind, there’s no point for me to try and keep him here.
“Then, you better take good care of yourself out there,” Vivian reminded him.
In the end, there wasn’t anything she could promise him. Even if he had chosen to stay, they were destined to not have too much interaction with each other in the future.
Even though that was what she thought, she couldn’t stop the tears from falling.
