A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 355

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 355

“I’m here to see Mom.” Vivian answered as she lugged her suitcase into the house.

“Let me get it.” Mrs. Filder took it from her. Vivian thanked her with a smile.

Scanning the room, she did not see her mother in the living room. Mrs. Filder pointed in the direction of the bedroom.

Vivian acknowledged with a nod. She took a peep through the aperture and found her mother resting in the room.

“Mrs. Filder, how’s Mom lately?” she asked under her breath.

Mrs. Filder shook her head and sighed.

Vivian grew anxious. “What’s happened? Is there anything wrong with Mom? Is she suffering from any health problems?”

“These days, she’s always spacing out and doesn’t sleep well. Last night, she sat on the sofa till midnight. I asked her for a reason but she didn’t say anything.

“Also, she doesn’t seem to have any appetite lately. I made her some soup this morning but she refused to drink it. She just rested not too long ago.”

Worried, Vivian looked at the bedroom door.

Rachel finally woke up around four o’clock in the afternoon. She was startled to see Vivian and perplexed to learn that she had moved back to her house. “If you stay here, then what about Finnick?”

“He’s on a business trip, so I’m back to keep you company,” Vivian said briefly as she was reluctant to come clean to her mother about what happened between them. “How are you recently, Mom? I heard from Mrs. Filder that you didn’t eat much these few days.”

“I know my own body. I’m good. Nothing’s wrong.” Rachel stroked Vivian’s hair. “It’s good that you’re here as I miss you so much. Stay longer with me.”

“Sure.” Vivian gave her mother a tight hug, wishing she could just bawl her eyes out to express her frustration and grievances. However, she could not bring herself to do so and make Rachel upset.

“I miss you too, Mom.”

Rachel’s face was twisted in a grimace of pain. She could not speak a word.

Vivian felt so helpless seeing her mother suffering from excruciating pain. Panicked, she covered her wound with a towel and then dialled 911 for help.

In the ambulance, she held her mother’s hand in trepidation.

She was desperate to get help from her circle of friends to make arrangements for the best doctor to treat her mother. Unfortunately, she did not have many influential contacts in her midst. The first person who appeared on her list was Finnick.

She dialed his number and waited nervously for it to be connected.

“The number you’ve dialed is currently unavailable. Please call again later.” She tried multiple times but to no avail.

I can’t get through to Finnick and there’s no one that I know in this hospital. What should I do now?
