Never Late, Never Away Chapter 781
As long as Vivian is happy, everything else isn’t important.
“Don’t worry, Ben,” Finnick avowed as he looked Benedict in the eye.
Even if he didn’t say that, I’ll still take good care of Vivian. It’ll be dumb of me if I let her leave again after having spent so much effort to win her back.
“I trust you.” Just after Benedict had said this, Vivian’s scream pierced the air.
“Ahh!”
Upon hearing her scream, both Benedict and Finnick swiftly sprinted up the stairs.
However, it wasn’t because they were curious. Rather, the cry was simply too chilling.
“What’s wrong, Vivian?” Finnick dashed into the room, but he didn’t see any sign of Vivian.
He searched the entire room, but there were only a few things that hadn’t been packed scattered about the room.
Then, he circled the room. All of a sudden, he noticed something amiss at the windowsill. The curtains had already been taken down, proving that she was there when she was last in the room.
As such, Finnick walked toward the window step by step. The closer he drew, the faster his heart pounded.
He simply couldn’t believe the truth that was staring him right in the face. No… that can’t be it! If she truly had an accident there, the consequences would be inconceivable!
He was now three steps away.
Two steps.
One step.
Finally, he reached the window. When he heard the rustling of clothes, he looked right down, out the window.
Sure enough, Vivian had been pulled out of the window and was now on the ledge where the air-conditioner was located.
Seeing that, Finnick promptly leaped down and snatched Vivian away from the woman.
“Are you okay, Vivian?” Finnick queried to ascertain that she wasn’t hurt since he didn’t see any injuries on her after first looking her over.
“People should help each other, unlike you and your selfish disposition. Just leave. I won’t pursue the matter this time.”
Vivian could be considered a colleague of hers in the past, so she understood her feelings well.
Fortunately, I didn’t sustain any injuries this time, or I won’t be able to spare her even if I do want to do so considering Finnick’s temperament.
“Let’s go.” After saying that, Finnick carried Vivian back to the room.
“Don’t forget your initial intentions,” Finnick said to Yolanda mildly before leaving. Then, he climbed up the windowsill.
“I’m sorry I worried you, Ben.” Vivian noticed her brother staring at her intently after getting back into the room, so she flashed him a smile in reassurance.
“It’s okay. Nothing matters as long as you’re fine.” Benedict then cast Finnick a glance before he left the room.
“Alright, everything’s over. I’m here, so don’t be afraid.”
Finnick knew that Vivian had definitely suffered a fright earlier, so he stepped forward and hugged her, stroking her back in consolation.
“Alright, I’m fine. Let’s pack up and go home.” Vivian wasn’t all that melodramatic either. It’s no big deal. I was just yanked out of the window earlier.
