Never Late, Never Away Chapter 706
After getting the doctor to check up on Rachel and making sure she was fine, Vivian’s heart finally lowered back into her chest.
In the following days, Vivian remained in the hospital taking care of Rachel. During those days, Evelyn came to visit several times, but both of them knew that her visit was not due to her concern for Rachel’s health.
As Finnick was worried about Vivian being alone in the hospital, he went there to keep her company whenever he was . That was the main reason for Evelyn’s continuous visits to the hospital.
Every time she saw Finnick, she would gaze at him with watery eyes. She would then apologize, hoping that he could forgive her. Rachel could not bear to watch her daughter’s miserable look. Naturally, she helped her to persuade Finnick that Evelyn did not mean to do what she did and for him to give her a chance.
Finnick could ignore Evelyn, but he could not do the same to Rachel, especially since the older woman was still recovering from her surgery. After the scene repeated several times, Finnick informed Vivian about his decision. From then on, he rarely visited the hospital.
Meanwhile, as Vivian was too busy taking care of Rachel, she had forgotten to ask Finnick about the incident from five years ago.
“Vivian, why isn’t Finnick coming to the hospital recently?” Evelyn asked sweetly as she held onto Vivian’s hand in front of Rachel.
In response, Vivian retracted her hand and did not try to conceal the hatred in her eyes. “How would I know? Maybe he’s busy at work. If you want to meet him, you can meet him in his office.”
Evelyn immediately teared up at that. It was as if she did not sense Evelyn’s hatred for her, for she grabbed Vivian’s hands again and sobbed, “I want to meet him, but… but Finnick won’t want to see me. Vivian, help me, please. Can’t you invite him out to meet me?”
