Never Late, Never Away Chapter 985
Although Rachel’s health condition had worsened, the bodyguard did nothing but watched Rachel lying on the ground since he received no order from Vivian.
There were a lot of people surrounding the place by the time Vivian arrived. They all wished to help, yet they were afraid that might stir up trouble for themselves.
Besides, the place was not a silk-stocking district, and the people in the neighborhood were not rich either. They were not philanthropists who would help any stranger they saw on the road.
Standing amongst them, Vivian watched Rachel lying on her back, her body convulsing in pain.
The woman was sweating profusely in pain. Soon the ground was dampened by her sweat.
With her brows knitted, Vivian fell into deep thoughts. Rachel was rolling around in pain. Suddenly, she caught sight of Vivian, who was standing amongst the crowd.
She knew this would be the end of her the moment her eyes met Vivian’s icy gaze. With her current health condition, death would be her only outcome if she didn’t receive treatment.
When their eyes met, Vivian knew she couldn’t bring herself to leave Rachel for dead. Eventually, she asked the bodyguard to carry Rachel into her car.
She then sat in the backseat next to Rachel. Seeing the woman’s slovenly appearance, Vivian knew she must have been through a rough time lately. Perhaps to Rachel, her nightmare was near its end. Yet, to Vivian, it was just the beginning of her sufferings.
No one could truly understand the pain of her losing her child. It was such unbearable pain, as if someone was cutting her flesh. When Larry went missing, it felt like a part of her was gone.
Her heart ached whenever she thought Larry might be suffering alone in an unknown place. Every breath she took would cause a sharp pain in her chest. Whenever that happened, she must hold her breath and try to calm herself down, for every breath she took felt like a whiff of poison that was slowly killing her.
Meanwhile, Rachel was experiencing enormous pain. Having difficulty speaking, she asked in a barely audible voice, “V-Vivian, why… why would you save me?”
Vivian’s eyes bore straight into Rachel’s as she spoke, “Are you afraid that I am saving your life so that I can torture after that?” She knew what Rachel was worrying merely by looking at the latter’s eyes.
