Never Late, Never Away Chapter 143

Finnick could feel Vivian's body temperature rising again in his arms and he grinned. He decided notto tease her any further and covered her with the blanket. “Just go to sleep.”

Vivian leaned against Finnick's chest and she could hear his heartbeat. Oddly enough, the rhythm ofhis beating heart calmed her down and her drowsiness kicked in soon after.

This is really amazing.

Being with Finnick could make her heart run wild, but he could also calm her down to the pointwhere she felt safe and peaceful.

That night, she slept soundly.

Surprisingly, Finnick was always in the ward with Vivian for the following days. Sometimes, therewould be people in the ward to discuss company affairs with him. No matter what business it was, itwas clear that he had no intention of leaving.

Every night, Finnick would squeeze into her bed.

That did not bother Vivian whatsoever. The only thing she was worried about was how it wouldaffect Finnick’s company. For that reason, she coaxed and pestered Finnick to get her discharged onthe fifth day.

While they were going through the procedures, Vivian secretly asked the nurse about Fabian. Shewas able to replace out that he recovered rather quickly and was discharged a few days prior to her andwas now back with the Norton family, currently under the care of a personal doctor.

Thank God he's not hurt.

Vivian was not very worried about Fabian, but the fact that she was the reason that he gothospitalized was undeniable. Thus, she would not be able to forgive herself if anything bad were tohappen to him.

Back at home, Vivian saw that Liam and Molly were gone. A new housemaid took their place. Shewas about Molly's age and was good at cooking. The only difference was that she was quieter.Vivian did not probe any further regarding Liam and Molly's disappearance.

On the day of the fire, she already had a hunch that the fire was started internally. Finnick did notseem to have a lot of servants, but Vivian knew that they had ample bodyguards outside. Moreover,the number of security guards around the neighborhood was not small and the villa itself had astate-of-the-art security system in place.

The only conclusion she could draw was that it was done by one of the internal staff.

When she associated it with how she was unusually woozy that night, it was clear that Liam andMolly had something to do with it.

Their disappearance now only confirmed her suspicion.

As for the motive, Vivian knew they were definitely under orders.

She initially thought that Liam and Molly were following orders from the elder Mr. Norton but heshould not have any reasons to harm her. Could it be... Mark?

All that thinking gave Vivian a headache. These big families and their nuances are so complicated. Itseemed that I was too relaxed in the past. Now that I am Finnick’s wife, I am considered one of theNortons. I have to be more careful from now on.

Meanwhile, at the Nortons' old villa.

Mark had a nasty scowl on his face as he sat in the study. He looked worn out as he just got backfrom the airport.

In front of him stood Fabian. His face was pale with bandages all over his body but his expressionwas as nasty as his father.

“Dad.” Fabian took the initiative and spoke in a cold tone. “You're the one responsible for the fire atFinnick's house, right?”

Even though Fabian was an impulsive man, he was not stupid. He grew up in the Norton family,after all. The schemes and backstabs were all too common for him. During his stay at the hospital,he was able to figure out everything.

"Yes. So what?” Mark answered. There was no reason for him to hide anything from his son.Fabian’s expression distorted. “Dad! Why are you targeting Vivian? She's just an innocent woman!Why do you need to hurt her?”

At the mention of Vivian's name, Mark's expression darkened even further. He slammed his palm onthe desk and stood up in rage.

“Fabian! Is this how you're supposed to talk to your father?” Mark roared. “You're going against mefor a woman?”

When Mark was in A Nation, he was notified of the plan's failure. And the reason for the failure wasnone other than his precious son who risked his life to save the woman. Mark was so infuriated bythe report that he smashed quite a few flower vases in the process.
