Never Late, Never Away Chapter 345
“Why are you here?” she asked.
Benedict answered smilingly, “Well, of course, I’m here to visit the patient.”
Noticing the confusion on Vivian’s face, he explained, “When I visited Ms. Rachel yesterday, I heard from her that you’re injured and were admitted to the hospital. She was very worried about you, but she can’t visit you in her current health condition. So, she asked me to come and check if you’re alright.”
“Is my mom alright?” Vivian couldn’t help feeling worried when Benedict mentioned Rachel’s health condition.
Benedict reassured her, “Yes, she’s fine. There’s no need to worry.” Then, he asked, “Are you alright?”
“Yes, thanks to Finnick,” replied Vivian.
Yet, Benedict’s face darkened upon the mention of Finnick.
“Huh,” he snorted, “I thought Finnick had lost both of his legs ten years ago, but it turns out he escaped unscathed. Evelyn was the only one who died in the fire.”
Hearing his sarcastic words, Vivian furrowed her brows. “Benedict, none of us know what happened at that time. I don’t believe Finnick would leave Evelyn for dead. I hope you won’t say things like this again before we even find out about the truth.”
Benedict paid no heed to Vivian’s words. To him, Vivian was only trying to defend Finnick.
Suddenly, he froze on the spot when something caught his attention.
Noticing his abnormality, Vivian followed his gaze and saw the Blue Enchantress, a gift from Elaine, on the nightstand.
Shifting her eyes back to Benedict, she asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“That’s Evelyn’s favorite flower,” Benedict answered sorrowfully, fixing his eyes on the Blue Enchantress.
