A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 991

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 991

Vivian didn’t want to keep lying to herself. She crept forward and tried to touch the charred body, but Finnick stopped her.

“Vivian, there’s sulfuric acid on the body.”

Hearing his warning, Vivian merely paused for a second before reaching out stubbornly. Finnick immediately grabbed her hand. As sulfuric acid was harmful to the human body, the consequences would be dire to those who touched it.

Finnick held her tightly, fearing she would escape his hold and run toward the body when he wasn’t paying attention. If that really happened, it would be too late to stop her.

“Listen, Vivian. That isn’t Larry. He appeared after Evelyn’s death. That isn’t Larry,” he repeated firmly. Alas, Vivian no longer trusted his words.

As he had tricked her previously, she refused to believe him. I won’t be tricked easily. Never again.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she glared at Finnick.

“Stop lying to me. Does lying make you feel better? I know what you’re trying to do. Stop it,” she declared and turned to leave. However, before she could step out of the door, she passed out and collapsed in a crumpled heap.

“Vivian!” Finnick gave the police officer a look before he picked her up and rushed to the hospital.

After a thorough examination, she turned out to be fine. The recent events had shocked her immensely and caused her to faint out of a sudden. The doctor said she would be alright and hooked her up to an IV drip.

Finnick sat by her bed and stared at her wordlessly as thoughts flooded his mind.

Vivian soon regained consciousness as she wasn’t really ill. When her eyelids fluttered open, Finnick was nodding off.

He hadn’t slept for twenty-four hours. Vivian took a glance at him and slowly put on her shoes to not wake him up. She left the room for a stroll outside. It felt too claustrophobic being in the ward.
