Never Late, Never Away Chapter 990
“What’s wrong?” Vivian answered the call and spoke. Immediately, Finnick’s anxious voice rang out, causing her heart to sink. “Vivian, they’ve found Larry’s body. We need to identify it.”
“Stay in the hospital,” he told her. “I’ll come and pick you up.” Yet, Vivian was already at a loss for words.
Little pumpkin’s body? It looks like we aren’t fated to be mother and son. He has already left me. I’m not fit to be a mother.
Vivian let out a self-deprecating chuckle as her body slid down the wall slowly. She held her head and began sobbing.
I’ve always thought Evelyn was lying about my little pumpkin being dead. It turns out she really did the deed.
At that thought, Vivian shook her head profusely and told herself, “No, it can’t be.”
Looking up, she saw Finnick walking toward her. She rose to her feet promptly and rushed to him.
Shaking him in desperation, she demanded, “Why did Larry die? He shouldn’t have died. Am I right, Finnick?” Tears blurred her vision.
Finnick’s here. As long as he’s here, I will find a way out. At that thought, she started questioning him.
After all, everything had happened because of Finnick.
Nevertheless, there was no time to blame him right now. She had to identify the body and see if it was indeed Larry. There might be a possibility that the police had gotten it wrong.
Holding on to that last string of hope, Vivian allowed Finnick to lead her out of the hospital and into the car. Meanwhile, Finnick’s brows furrowed up when he saw how worn out Vivian was.
Previously, he was wondering if he should inform Vivian. In the end, he decided on telling her everything. Larry was also her son, so she had the right to be informed.
