Never Late, Never Away Chapter 941
Vivian woke up the next morning with obvious dark circles under her eyes and quickly got ready to visit Rachel.
“Why don’t you go later? It’s still early. You should sleep a while more,” Finnick held her hand and said.
He could feel his heart aching when he saw the dark eye circles and eye bags on Vivian’s eyes.
She seemed to have over-exerted herself these days. After being in a constant state of excitement during their vacation, she now had to take care of her mother.
To Finnick, that might be too much for a woman to handle.
“Stop it. I have to go. Otherwise, who’s going to help with her meals and get out of bed?”
Without Evelyn by her side, Vivian was the only one Rachel could depend on.
If Vivian did not take care of her, no one else would.
As Rachel was the one who brought her up, Vivian could not bring herself to leave the woman alone in the hospital.
“Ok, go ahead then. But don’t tire yourself out, you hear?” Finnick knew he couldn’t win the argument against his wife and relented. He knew very well that Vivian would not change her mind once she had decided on something.
Since she had already gotten ready to leave the house, there was no way she would stay and continue sleeping.
As it was still early, there were not a lot of people at the hospital yet.
When Vivian reached Rachel’s ward, Rachel was still asleep. As such, she sat down on the sofa next to the bed and rested for a while.
A moment later, Vivian heard a faint sound. When she opened her eyes, she saw that it was Rachel trying to get a blanket.
“Do you want some water?” Vivian asked as she passed the glass to Rachel.
After Rachel finished drinking the water, she gazed at Vivian with a contented look in her eyes.
“Vivian, it must be hard on you to have to wake up so early to come here.” Rachel was stumped by the fact that even her biological daughter did not treat her so well. It was her adopted daughter who was by her side when she needed someone most.
What kind of logic is that?
“It’s not a big deal,” Vivian shook her head and replied.
What she said was the truth. After all, she felt that it was every child’s duty to look after their parents.
