Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick) novel Chapter 704

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 704

Finnick crouched down in front of Vivian and gently queried, “What happened, Vivian? You seem unhappy.”

His questions sent a pang of sorrow into her heart, and she averted her eyes after a glance at him. Forcing a smile onto her face, she mumbled, “Nothing. How can I not be happy that the surgery went smoothly? I’m happy.”

Finnick would not be easily fooled. He had seen the downcast look in her eyes, and he wanted to know what had happened.

Straightening her and making her look at him, Finnick uttered, “Vivian, you have to tell me if there’s anything on your mind. Trust me. No matter how difficult it is, I’ll do my best to solve it for you.”

The solemn look Finnick had in his eyes touched Vivian, but it also made her feel helpless. To Rachel, she only had one daughter—Evelyn. Vivian, the adopted daughter, was no one to her. How am I supposed to tell him about this? What can he do about it?

“I’m really fine,” Vivian reassured him. “Thank you for today. Without you, the surgery would not have gone as smoothly as it did.”

Finnick panicked when he realized Vivian still refused to be honest with him. He thought they were much closer after today, but it seemed like he was still not someone she could fully trust.

“Vivian, we—” Right as Finnick was about to continue, Rachel began mumbling again.

“Evelyn, Evelyn… Evelyn, c-come and see me. Evelyn…”

Turning to look at Rachel before spotting the desolation on her face, Finnick finally realized what she was upset about.
