Just as Vivian was worried sick, she heard a low, coarse voice from behind. Then, she was lifted into the air and before she realized it, she was seated on Finnick’s laps.

“Finnick…” Vivian was shocked.

As Finnick observed her pale and cold body, he felt as though a thousand needles were stabbing through his heart. He wiped away the tears from her cheeks and assured her, “Don’t worry. I will be here with you.”

It was a simple but weighty statement that warmed Vivian’s heart. Indeed, with his assurance, she gradually calmed down.

All of a sudden, she felt extremely tired. This time, she did not fight back and just nodded in silence. With her remaining strength, she coiled up in his arms and stared at the “Operation In Progress” sign at the top of the door.

As she lay in his arms, Finnick could discern a unique scent from her. All of a sudden, it was as though his cold heart melted slightly after being frozen for decades.

After a long while, the lights above the door turned red.

Vivian, upon seeing this, jumped up from Finnick’s lap and dashed towards the door. The doctors and nurses exited the operating theatre looking drained.

“Doctor! M-My mother…” Vivian did not even know what to say at that point.

The doctor looked at her and smiled as he informed her, “Congratulations, Ms. William. The operation was a success. Your mother will be awake by tomorrow.”

Mom will be awake?

At that very moment, her tensed body loosened up and she felt so relieved. She desperately wanted to thank the doctor, but suddenly, her legs went numb and she collapsed.

However, her skin did not come into contact with the cold, hard floor. All she felt was a strong, sturdy chest.
