    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 127


    Vivian couldn’t help but turn her head towards the side. When she did that, Finnick’s handsome face


    came into view, which startled her for a moment.


    From that angle, she could clearly see how long and dense the man’s eyshes were. In addition to


    his obsidian-like dark eyes, Finnick’s attractive features would put any girl, including Vivian, to shame.


    As she observed how attentive Finnick was at treating her wound, Vivian couldn’t help but ask,


    “Finnick, can I ask you something?”


    Finnick remained focused on applying medicine for Vivian and without lifting his head, he answered,


    “Go ahead.”


    “Regarding the owner of that ne… Is she your ex-girlfriend?” Vivian took a deep breath before


    asking.


    Finnick froze for a moment before continuing with his actions and answered, “Yup.”


    To Vivian’s surprise, the man did not seem to be avoiding this topic. As much as she was slightly


    relieved, she couldn’t help but ask again, “You like her a lot, right?”


    Finnick finally looked up and met Vivian’s eyes.


    His pitch-ck eyes seemed to be bottomless and unfathomable to Vivian. She could only hear him


    say calmly, “Vivian, why are you asking about this?”


    Vivian immediately regretted asking that question as she felt that she might have overstepped his


    boundaries. She replied softly, “Oh, it’s nothing. I just noticed that you always have a sad expression


    whenever you looked at that ne.”


    Finnick’s eyes flickered before he quickly looked down again and continued dressing Vivian’s wound.


    Just as Vivian thought that Finnick did not wish to continue talking about it anymore, the man spoke.


    “I have let her down.”


    Vivian was stunned for a few seconds beforeing back to her senses. Did he mean that he had let


    Evelyn down?


    The woman felt a shiver down her spine.


    Could it be that… he had really abandoned Evelyn ten years ago? Was that why he felt like he had let


    her down?


    No.


    That’s impossible.


    Vivian shook her head to clear her mind and did not reply. As such, the conversation ended there.


    Meanwhile, over at the Norton residence, the elder Mr. Norton had already gone to bed a while back as


    the elderly needed more rest.


    However, Mark was still in his study with another person who stood hunched over in front of him. As


    that man was in the shadows, his face could not be seen clearly.


    “Are you sure about this?” Mark’s face darkened and looked extremely grim. “You mean, that cripple


    Finnick has really done it with his new wife?”


    “Absolutely sure,” the person in front of the study table answered seriously and added, “The elder Mr.


    Norton has been really concerned about this matter. I have observed very carefully and I’m certain that


    it’s true.”


    “Damn it!” Mark hit his desk in fury. With his eyes burning in rage, he eximed, “So that means, if


    everything goes smoothly, that woman called Vivian could be bearing that damned cripple Finnick’s


    child?”


    “Theoretically, that’s the case,” the person in front of the study table answered respectfully.


    “We can’t let it happen!” Mark bellowed with a menacing look on his face. After analyzing the situation


    for a while, he said, “How about this, I’ll try to dy Finnick tomorrow and you’ll find a way to get rid of


    that woman, Vivian.”


    The other man frowned as he asked, “Mr. Norton, why don’t we just get rid of Finnick directly?”


    “Do you think I’ve not thought about that?” Mark sneered. “But as you know, the old man treats Finnick


    like a treasure. When the kidnapping ident happened ten years ago, he hadbed the entire city


    to find him. That’s why we are unable to take any action on Finnick at the moment. Vivian is not the


    same, she’s just an outsider. Even if my dad finds out that we are the ones who did it, he wouldn’t do


    anything to us.”


    “Alright, understood.”


    “Oh, there’s something else.” Mark suddenly thought of something as his face darkened. “Fabian must


    not know about this.”


    There was a flicker in the other man’s eye before he replied, “Sure.”


    “You may leave now.”


    “Yes, Mr. Norton.”


    The next day, Vivian received a text from Finnick shortly after she reached the magazinepany. He


    informed her that he was going away on a business trip and reminded her to change her dressing and


    take good care of herself.


    Vivian replied: I will. Then, she started getting busy at work.


    As the deadline for the new issue of the magazine was due soon, everyone in the office was in a frantic


    state and worked overtime in order to meet the due date.


    Vivian was among thest to leave office and it was already past midnight. Coincidentally, there was a


    concert going on at the stadium beside the magazinepany, which resulted in bad traffic conditions


    and it was almost impossible to get a cab.


    As such, everyone was discussing about the most efficient way to carpool. However, when Vivian’s co-
