Never Late, Never Away Chapter 739
With her eyebrows creased deeply, Vivian was just about to step forward to open the room door when Finnick pulled her back and pushed her behind him. “We don’t know who’s in there yet, so let me open the door instead.”
After saying that, he strode right up and opened the room door. When Vivian saw the person in the room after he’d forced the door open, her frown deepened. Why is she here?
The moment Rachel saw that the door was opened, she shoved Finnick away and dashed into the room, her gaze darting everywhere. Noticing that Evelyn was indeed in there, she quickly rushed forward and shielded her.
“Vivian, Evelyn didn’t do it deliberately, so don’t take offense at her, okay?” Rachel implored Vivian fervently on behalf of Evelyn.
As Evelyn stared at the person standing in front of her with arms spread, a burst of joy infused her. I didn’t harbor any hope of surviving after Vivian coerced me to tell the truth about the incident back then, but never had I thought that even God would help me, and Rachel actually turned up at this time!
All at once, she sobbed and whimpered in a hoarse voice, “Ms. Rachel… Ms. Rachel… I…”
Rachel turned around and bent down before wiping the tears off Evelyn’s face. Then, she hugged her and comforted her, her voice choking as she reassured, “Everything will be fine. You’re fine now, Evelyn. Don’t be afraid. With me here, I’ll definitely protect you. I won’t allow anyone to hurt you.”
After coaxing Evelyn for a while as though she were a kid, she whirled around and dropped to her knees before Vivian. “Vivian, Evelyn is indeed at fault this time, so I apologize on her behalf. Please forgive her this time and not take offense at her, won’t you? I beg you.”
Flustered at her sudden act of kneeling, Vivian hurried forward to pull her up. “Get up first. What are you doing on the ground?”
However, Rachel grasped her hands and wailed, “Vivian, please let Evelyn go for my sake, okay? She didn’t do it deliberately, and I apologize on her behalf. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Vivian. Just forgive her, won’t you? I’m not getting up if you don’t agree.”
