Never Late, Never Away Chapter 715
“Evelyn, even if you have any grievances, please take them out on me! Please let Vivian go, she hasn’t done anything wrong.” Rachel grabbed hold of Evelyn’s hand and begged her fervently.
“Let her off? Fat chance!” Evelyn gave Rachel a hard push, sending her sprawling onto the ground. Her eyes were glazed over with madness. “You can expose me for this if you want. I will never see you again in this life.”
After shooting one last look of rancor at Rachel, she opened the door and left.
Rachel had just undergone an operation, and her body was still very weak. How could she recover from that shove by Evelyn? She lay sprawled on the ground, watching helplessly as Evelyn left.
“Oh, it’s my fault, it’s all my fault! God, I was the one who made those mistakes all those years ago. Why did you have to do this to the two children? You should’ve punished me instead!” As she watched Evelyn’s figure recede into the distance, Rachel cried on the ground.
As she cried, Rachel suddenly remembered something important. Vivian! I have to get to Vivian before something bad happened! Quickly, she sat up from the ground painfully and inched her way towards the telephone.
What sort of drugs had Evelyn put into Vivian’s food? Is she alright now? Rachel couldn’t help but blame herself—she should have told Vivian about her suspicions before she even stepped out of the front door.
She quickly found Vivian’s number and gave her a call, waiting anxiously for her to pick up. This child should’ve enjoyed a life of wealth and privilege, but Rachel had swapped her with Evelyn at birth. Vivian had suffered an impoverished childhood at Rachel’s side instead. If something had happened to her, Rachel would never be able to forgive herself.
“Pick up the phone, come on!” However, she only heard the deep hum of static followed by, “The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.”
Vivian wasn’t picking up the phone at all. Had something really happened to her?
