Never Late, Never Away Chapter 320
Vivian turned the tap off and speedily slipped into her clothes. Then she walked out with her broken
phone.
As she dried her wet hair, she handed the phone to Finnick and mumbled, “It fell into the water and I
can’t switch it on anymore. Can you fix it?”
Finnick pulled her onto hisp and replied, “How clumsy of you.”
He inspected the phone and shook his head. “I can’t.”
Since Finnick usually ferried her to work, Vivian didn’t see the need to fix her phone immediately. So

she decided she was going to the repair shop after work the next day.
Unfortunately, Murphy’s Law befell her that very day.
The next day, the moment she stepped into the office, she could feel something was off.
“Morning, everyone.”
Vivian greeted everyone as usual, but no one gave her any response.
She then realized that everyone was looking at her with an inscrutable emotion.
Sarah rushed over and examined her peculiarly. Then, sheforted her by saying, “Vivian, don’t be
too upset. After all, love is more important than a child.”
“What…?”
It was baffling that Sarah was saying all these.
A period of time had passed since Vivian discovered the loss of her child.
It’s been so long. Why is everyone consoling me all of a sudden?
Just then, Shannon appeared beside her. With a disparaging smile on her face, she began to mock
Vivian, “My, my. The audacity of you… Hats off to you, really. Whose child was that? The Chief
Editor’s? Or some other man’s? Or do you yourself not know who the father of the child was?”
Vivian gaped at her in disbelief. There was no enmity between them. Who gave Shannon the right to
talk to her like that?
Meanwhile, Fabian walked out upon hearing themotion.
“It’s still office hours. Enough with all the gossips and get back to work!”
Finnick’s stern warning prompted everyone to move, but their eyes never left Vivian.
There was a hushed murmuring as they chattered amongst themselves. Vivian could make out their
tones, but she couldn’t hear what they were saying.
“I can’t believe she has the nerve to show up for work. If it were me, I would lie low after being
humiliated so badly.”
“Look at her all haggard… Maybe it’s all a ploy to win Mr. Norton back… Tsk…”
“A pitiful person is always detestable in some way.”
“When we first got to know her, I’ve always thought she was a kind person. Who’d know she’s like
that…”
“I know, right? Looks can be deceiving.”
“Hope she learns from her mistakes and changes for the better…”
Fabian noticed that Vivian was being ambushed by everybody’s harsh remarks. Out of goodwill, he
decided toe to her rescue. Letting out a light cough, he said, “Vivian, pleasee to my office.”
“Alright.” Desperate to figure out what was going on, Vivian followed behind him. He’s probably the only
one who can tell me the truth right now.
Fabian summoned her to the Chief Editor’s office and took one look at her careworn visage. He
instantly assumed it was due to the incident that morning.
Worried for her, he nced at her tenderly and inquired, “Vivian, are you alright? I didn’t expect things
to turn out that way. I didn’t think Uncle Finnick would…”
He hesitated before continuing. “I mean, of course, I believe you. Still, they’re not wrong. Some matters
must be hard to exin… Be that as it may, the child’s already gone. Just let the past remain as it is.
I’m sure Uncle Finnick will understand. He’ll definitely forgive you…”
Fabian paused for a moment before continuing, “Also, I apologize if Ashley has created more trouble
for you during this period. Please ept my apology on her behalf. At the end of the day, she’s still
your sister. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Fabian, what exactly are you talking about?”
His words were baffling to her.
“Fabian, tell me what exactly you mean by all that.
