A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 419

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 419

Finnick couldn’t stop himself from imagining Vivian being raped by the men after hearing what she said. It was as though his wife was calling for help right by his ears, “Help me, Finnick! Help!”

“That’s enough!” he snapped and interrupted her. The wound that had just been stopped from bleeding opened up again due to him clenching his fists so tightly. The off-white handkerchief was stained red, and the sight of it was absolutely horrifying.

“I’m sorry, Finnick. I’m not saying these to you on purpose. I just feel that it’s all too sad. I couldn’t help but feel upset now that I think about how she looked like when in the warehouse.” As she spoke, Evelyn started crying again. “How can they do such a cruel thing to her?”

However, what she didn’t realize was that her crying had annoyed Finnick. He took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down before saying to her, “You should head back first. I want to be alone with Vivian for now.”

She couldn’t find an excuse to stay after hearing what he said, so she had no choice but to get up and leave.

“Evelyn,” he suddenly called out to her.

“What is it?” Evelyn turned around in surprise, and she anticipated what he was about to say.

“Thank you and Benedict for saving Vivian.”

Disappointment flashed across her face, but she replied, “You don’t need to thank us. Vivian’s a good friend of ours as well.”

“Okay.”

Evelyn turned back and continued walking, seeing that Finnick wasn’t going to say anything else.

The man then sat alone outside for a long time. He wanted to go take a look at Vivian but didn’t have the courage to do so.

He didn’t know how to face his wife who was covered in injuries. What am I supposed to say to her when she finally wakes up?

Knowing that running away wasn’t a solution, Finnick finally stood up and slowly made his way to the ward.

Meanwhile, Evelyn didn’t actually leave the hospital. She had found a secluded corner of a stairwell and was making a call to someone.

After a while, the doctor who was supposed to check up on Vivian appeared.

“You did well. I’ll wire the leftover money to your account later.”

“Thank you, Ms. Morrison,” the doctor said with an appeasing smile on his face. He was obviously a bootlicker, and he didn’t have the look of someone who saved lives at all. “Is there anything else that you need my help with?”

“Just continue with this act with that man in the next few days. You don’t have to make it too obvious, just enough to make him believe that his wife was really raped,” Evelyn whispered.

“Understood. Don’t worry, Ms. Morrison. But about my reward…” The doctor had a look of a villain at the mention of money.

“I won’t forget to pay you. As long as I’m satisfied with the results, I’ll definitely complete the transaction,” she replied disdainfully.
