Never Late, Never Away Chapter 133
As a matter of fact, when he was saving Vivian, he had observed that she was risking her life to retrieve a crystal necklace.
Vivian’s hands gripped her hospital gown as she spoke gently, “In truth, you need not have gone that far to save me.”
“Need not have done that?” Fabian raised his eyebrows suddenly. “Vivian, what are you talking about? Did you think that I would stand by and let you die?”
Vivian could not meet Fabian’s gaze and so she turned away, saying, “Actually, you only needed to take care of yourself. I am not worthy of your effort.”
Fabian had told himself not to lose his temper with Vivian but hearing her words, he lost his temper again.
He got up, and with his bandaged hand, he held Vivian’s chin and forced her to meet his gaze. Coldly, he spoke, “Vivian, it is my decision to make, not yours!”
As Vivian looked at Fabian, she could see that he was no longer able to conceal his emotions.
She could not help feeling afraid.
No!
You can’t do this.
The person that she was now must never have an intimate relationship with Fabian.
With that in mind, she felt the need to do right. Quickly she broke away from Fabian’s hold and said sharply, “Fabian, please be mindful of your attitude. Remember that I am your aunt now!”
Aunt Vivian.
Those two words were like cold water pouring on Fabian’s emotions.
In that instant, she moved his hand away as she frowned and looked at him. “Fabian, you will be married to Ashley soon. I hope today’s lapse in self-control will never happen again.”
With that, she did not look at Fabian again but rolled her wheelchair out of the ward. Fabian was left feeling lost, sitting on the hospital bed.
Outside the ward, Vivian stopped for a while to take a few deep breaths.
