Never Late, Never Away Chapter 719
As she tried to recall what had happened, fragments of memories and images flashed across Vivian’s mind. She could remember the blistering heat and pain within her, and how Hunter was holding her. She could even see Finnick at the end…
Vivian’s expression turned more and more distorted. I was… I was drugged!
Seeing Vivian’s unusually pale countenance, Finnick asked again anxiously, “Vivian, how do you feel? Does it… still hurt?”
Catching the rather peculiar pause in Finnick’s utterances, Vivian’s face turned even more colorless. “What happened to me? Why am I in the hospital?”
Holding her hand tightly, Finnick answered, “You asked me to meet you at your house, remember? So I went and saw you… You weren’t in a sound condition. Hunter said you were drugged by Evelyn so I sent you to the hospital.”
As expected, I was drugged indeed! Vivian clenched her fist so tightly her nails dug into her palm. She remembered Evelyn went to help in the kitchen when Rachel was preparing dinner. Sure enough, she was up to no good!
With a wrathful glint in her eyes, Vivian looked up at Hunter. “So that was the reason she has asked you to pick me up. Her purpose was for us to…”
Hunter nodded with an extremely somber expression. “That’s probably true.”
Biting hard on her lip, Vivian was feeling overwhelmed by outrage. I still have an old score from five years ago to settle with her and yet this Evelyn is coming against me again!
Finnick placed his hand on Vivian’s lips out of fear that she would hurt herself from the biting. “Don’t worry, Vivian. I’ll definitely avenge you and not let Evelyn off the hook so easily this time!”
Seeing Finnick’s hand on Vivian’s lips kindled a bitter glow in Hunter’s eyes. Vivian didn’t avoid such an intimate gesture at all. Does it mean that she really wants to reconcile with Finnick?
