    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 158


    “Yes, I do need your help,” Vivian agreed.


    Just then, Finnick remembered something which he felt he should share with her now. He said


    tentatively, “Actually, I already gathered some information on that incident.”


    The fact that he had started the investigation on his own showed that he was quite bothered by it too.


    Vivian’s eyes fell pensive, but she did not condemn him for what he did. Instead, she ced emphasis


    on the oue. “What information have you got?”


    He told her that the man who raped her two years ago was not an old man as per her assumption.


    However, the identity of the real perpetrator had yet toe to light.


    The one who did the horrendous thing to her was not an old man.


    To Vivian, that piece of information did not really matter.


    Knowing that the perpetrator was not an old man did not make things better in the least bit because the


    fact that she had been humiliated could never be changed.


    She sighed. “Finnick, to be honest with you, the question of who did it doesn’t matter that much to me


    at the moment. Right now, I just want to find out who was the one who drugged me and orchestrated


    the entire plot that night. That person even went to the extent of spreading that scandal at school in


    order to destroy me. Who could be the mastermind behind everything?”


    Without saying anything in response, he drew her toward his chest gently.


    Since what she wanted was the truth, he would go all out to get that for her.


    After all, he wanted to find out the truth too.


    Yet…


    At the thought of that scarf, he grew reticent as his eyes turned icy.


    “I’ll get to the bottom of it,” he promised her in a soft voice.


    Suddenly, a thought struck Vivian. “By the way, did anyone find out about the condition of your legsst


    night?” she asked worriedly.


    Finnick broke into a faint smile, feeling pleased to see how much she cared about him. “Don’t worry. All


    the necessary arrangements are in ce to make sure everything is alright.”


    The car pulled to a stop at that moment. As she looked out the window, she found herself staring at the


    apartment she was staying at instead of the vi. She couldn’t help but turn to look at Finnick in


    puzzlement.


    “I’d like to visit your mother,” he answered.


    Vivian had her reservations about his idea because it was obvious to her that Finnick was not her


    mother’s favorite.


    That did not bother her during the time their marriage only existed in name.


    However, things were so much different at the moment.


    Should I tell Mom the truth?


    She nodded to herself before getting out of the car together with Finnick.


    Inside the apartment unit, Rachel was sitting on her bed reading a copy of mour Magazine.


    “Mom!” Vivian stepped into the unit and was happy to see her mother’s glowing face.


    “Pleased to meet you, Mrs. William.” Finnick entered at the same time in his wheelchair.


    Rachel’s face stiffened for a split second before greeting him back politely.


    In the meantime, Noah put down the gift bags and was sensible enough to wait for his boss outside.


    “I’m sorry as I didn’t have much time to prepare better gifts for you. Here are some food supplements


    which are good for your health. I hope they aren’t too shabby for you, Mrs. William,” Finnick said in a


    level voice.


    Rachel, who did not fancy Finnick as her son-inw, deliberately pulled a long face. “We are just some


    ordinary folks who don’t deserve your expensive gifts. Please don’t bring anything for us in the future.”


    Finnick’s face was inscrutable in response to herment.


    “Mom!” Vivian couldn’t help but chime in. Sitting down at the edge of the bed beside her mother, she


    held her hands and tried to put in some good words for Finnick. “He only brought those gifts for you as


    a kind gesture.”


    As someone who had never known how to get along with his mother-inw, Finnick was at a loss as he


    stood dazedly beside Vivian.

    It was her first time witnessing such a helpless expression on his face, and she found it hrious.


    “Finnick, since it’s lunchtime soon, why don’t you go out and fetch us some takeaway food? Mom loves


    braised pork.”


    He nodded in agreement.


    After he left with Noah, Vivian started criticizing her mother, “Mom, what you said to Finnick just now


    was too harsh. He’s a kind-hearted person, and he’s different from all the other rich guys.”


    “Well, I don’t care because I just don’t like the idea of you and him being together. In fact, I prefer


    Fabian to be my son-inw.”


    “Mom, it’s time you forget about Fabian because Finnick is my husband.”


    Seeing how fervently her daughter was trying to defend Finnick, Rachel couldn’t help but ask curiously,


    “Vivian, just be honest with me. Have you fallen in love with him? Otherwise, why are you trying so


    hard to defend him?”


    Had she fallen in love with him? Of course!


    She was so in love with him that her life literally depended on his. She loved him so deeply that she


    cared about his every movement, and she couldn’t wait to spend the rest of her life with him.


    Seeing the concern in her mother’s eyes, Vivian finally made up her mind to tell her the truth. “Mom, I


    really love him very much, so much so that I’d like to spend the rest of my life with him.”
