    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 704


    Finnick crouched down in front of Vivian and gently queried, “What happened, Vivian? You seem


    unhappy.”


    His questions sent a pang of sorrow into her heart, and she averted her eyes after a nce at him.


    Forcing a smile onto her face, she mumbled, “Nothing. How can I not be happy that the surgery went


    smoothly? I’m happy.”


    Finnick would not be easily fooled. He had seen the downcast look in her eyes, and he wanted to know


    what had happened.


    Straightening her and making her look at him, Finnick uttered, “Vivian, you have to tell me if there’s


    anything on your mind. Trust me. No matter how difficult it is, I’ll do my best to solve it for you.”


    The solemn look Finnick had in his eyes touched Vivian, but it also made her feel helpless. To Rachel,


    she only had one daughter—Evelyn. Vivian, the adopted daughter, was no one to her. How am I


    supposed to tell him about this? What can he do about it?


    “I’m really fine,” Vivian reassured him. “Thank you for today. Without you, the surgery would not have


    gone as smoothly as it did.”


    Finnick panicked when he realized Vivian still refused to be honest with him. He thought they were


    much closer after today, but it seemed like he was still not someone she could fully trust.


    “Vivian, we—” Right as Finnick was about to continue, Rachel began mumbling again.


    “Evelyn, Evelyn… Evelyn, ce and see me. Evelyn…”


    Turning to look at Rachel before spotting the destion on her face, Finnick finally realized what she


    was upset about.


    He reached out to hold her hands as he whispered, “Vivian, don’t overthink it. Evelyn’s her biological


    daughter, so she’ll think about her a little more. Don’t take it to heart.”


    Hearing him, tears brimmed in Vivian’s eyes again. That’s right. Evelyn’s her biological daughter. It’s


    normal for a mother to think about her daughter. To Rachel, I’m still the adopted one. Naturally, I’m not


    as important to her as Evelyn. Why am I sad about that?


    When he saw Vivian’s reaction, he realized he had said the wrong words to her. For a brief moment, he


    wished he could punch himself. Why did I have to say that? I’m only making her even more upset.


    He pulled her into his arms and consoled, “It’s all right, Vivian. It’s all right. You still have me. No matter


    what happens, you’re always the most important person to me. I’ll always be by your side; I’ll never let


    you be alone.”


    Finnick had whispered plenty of sweet words to her while he was courting her, but none had moved her


    as much as the words he was saying now. Perhaps, it was because this was the moment she needed


    these words most.


    As shey in his arms, tears streamed down her cheeks. Yet, as her tears escaped her eyes, so did the


    sorrow from her chest. Only when she was less tensed then did she realize how suggestive their


    position was.


    Breaking from Finnick’s arms, Vivian blushed. “It’s been a few days since we’vee here. You must

    have many things to attend to. I’m fine here alone. You should go ahead with your work.”


    However, there was no way Finnick would leave her here in the hospital alone. “We’ll talk about the


    “It’s fine.” His words made her face heat up even more. “It’s not like you can do anything here anyway. I


    can take care of her by myself. Don’t worry.”


    “But—”


    “Hush. I really can do this by myself. You should get going.”


    Vivian sounded adamant, and when he thought about Noah’s urgent tone, he relented. “All right. I’ll go


    back to the office first. If anything happens, you have to call me right away. I’lle to you


    immediately.”
