Never Late, Never Away Chapter 879
Finnick had always disliked coming home since he felt that this house held bad memories from his childhood.
Thinking back to how eagerly Samuel had looked forward to his return home, Finnick wanted to slap himself.
So he did.
He was in distress and in pain. He looked at his grandfather, who had passed away with a faint smile on his lips.
As he gently wiped the blood off Samuel’s face with a tissue, Samuel’s face slowly became clean.
Finnick gently stroked the wrinkles on his grandfather’s face. They were a sign of Samuel’s age.
When he recalled the past when Samuel had brought him out to play, tears started to fall uncontrollably.
Although he wanted to die alongside Samuel, Finnick knew that he could not.
Samuel had wanted to see him bring honor to his family. He had hoped that Finnick would have a good life ahead of him.
Thus, Finnick did not know how to face Samuel in the afterlife if he had taken his life right then.
“Finnick.”
Just as he was drowning in sadness, Finnick heard Vivian’s voice.
He lowered his head and wiped away his tears, then looked at Vivian. He did not want to let her see him like this. However, the tear tracks were clear on his face.
“Don’t be sad. Grandpa will surely go to heaven.” Vivian did not know what else to say to comfort Finnick.
They had gone through a lot recently, so Vivian no longer knew how to comfort him.
“Daddy, don’t cry. It’s all my fault. I didn’t protect Great-grandpa well.”
