A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 340

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 339

They made eye contact for a second before Finnick pulled her into his embrace.

The hug was gentle at first, but as time passed, it began to get suffocating. Vivian could feel her ribs digging into her lungs, and she had to claw at his chest in an attempt to break . “Finnick, let me go… “

Unfortunately, he simply held on tighter.

“Finnick… it hurts… “

Finnick let go of her slowly the moment he heard those words.

She leaned into his chest in silence, noticing how he was still trembling.

“What’s wrong, Finnick?” she asked.

He was silent for a moment before he said, “Promise me you won’t leave me ever again.”

He looked up to meet her eyes, and the amount of love and affection in his gaze made her heart ache.

It was as though he was pleading for her to stay by his side, and there was no way she could bear to let him down.

Before she knew it, she had already planted a light kiss on his eyelid. “I promise I won’t leave you ever again.”

Just as her lips left his eyelid, he lunged forward and pressed his lips against hers, albeit a little hurriedly. It was as though he was trying to consume her and keep her safe inside of him.

Instead of flinching away, Vivian reciprocated the kiss passionately. Both of them felt much better after that.

Vivian was suddenly reminded of how he had stood up from his wheelchair to save her, and she frowned at him worriedly. “How are you going to tell everyone that your legs aren’t injured? It’s all my fault that… “

“Take care of yourself and don’t worry about me,” Finnick said. “You can watch the livestream tomorrow.”

“Alright then,” Vivian said with a nod. She did not want him to worry about her too, and she decided to stay put.

The next morning, they had breakfast together in the hospital room before Finnick left to go to the press conference.

Meanwhile, Vivian’s colleagues from the magazine company arrived to visit her.

“Are you alright, Vivian?” Sarah asked the moment she entered the room with worry etched on her face.

“Shush! You’re being too loud!” Jenny chided. “Vivian needs to rest!”

“That’s right, Sarah. I’m sure you don’t want Vivian’s condition to worsen, right?” another colleague said with a chuckle.
