Never Late, Never Away Chapter 98

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

“Fabian?” Finnick arched his brows at the sight of him. “What are you doing here?”

Fabian was not as skilled as Finnick in concealing his feelings. When he saw Finnick, he flinched and replied, “A thug tried to attack me at the magazine company. Vivian was hurt because she tried to protect me. So I sent her here.”

Vivian’s heart sank.

Is he doing it on purpose? Why did he have to detail everything out? Isn’t he afraid of Finnick misunderstanding things?

Vivian cast a nervous glance at Finnick as she tried to observe his reaction. However, Finnick’s deep-set gaze did not give anything away. Her attempt to read him was in vain.

Vivian…

Tried to protect me…

Finnick’s breathing became rapid as he replayed Fabian’s words in his head.

Fabian seemed like he was showing off. Usually, Finnick paid no heed to such provocation. However, even Finnick had to admit that Fabian’s words had hit the bull’s eye.

The wound on Vivian’s arms seemed especially jarring at this moment. He took in a few deep breaths to suppress his anger.

“Is it?” When he spoke again, his tone was already calm and composed. “Vivian is your aunt after all. It’s only normal that she saved you.”

Fabian paled at Finnick’s remark.

“However,” Finnick parted his lips to speak again, glancing at Vivian who was all jittery. “I hope that she would not be so rash again in the future.”

Vivian fidgeted under his scrutinizing gaze. She did not contemplate the meaning behind his words and nodded right away.

Fabian’s face sank further.

“Okay.” Finnick broke the silence stretching between the three of them. “Fabian, thank you for sending Vivian to the hospital. I will ask Noah to settle the bills with you.”
