Never Late, Never Away Chapter 380

However, she had always sensed a strange of closeness when it comes to Benedict. Now that shehad heard him said those words to her, Vivian felt even more moved.

Following a few hours in the hospital, Vivian considered whether to leave the hospital since Evelynhad not awoken yet. As if reading Vivian's mind, Benedict stated, “Vivian, Evelyn is fine now. I canguard here by myself. You can go home first.”

Vivian felt a little embarrassed because instead of staying with Evelyn as she mentioned earlier, nowshe wanted to leave first. However, she assumed that Evelyn wouldn't want to see her when sheregained consciousness.

"Alright, then I'll go back first. Take care of yourself.” Without coming up with excuses, Vivian toldBenedict and left.

She returned home to replace Finnick already back from work.

“Didn't I say I'll ask Noah to pick you up? Why did you come home by yourself?” In fact, Finnickinformed Noah to be on standby before leaving work. Finnick didn't expect her to come homewithout saying anything.

“It's alright, I happened to come across a cab when I was walking out.”

Finnick did not want to dwell on that topic, then he asked, “How's Evelyn?”

Upon hearing Finnick ask about Evelyn, Vivian's heart sank immensely the moment she recalled thescene from this afternoon where he carried Evelyn to the hospital in a panic and brushed her aside.However he seemed to be rather calm upon mentioning Evelyn now, so it was better for her to notsay much.

“I'm not too sure. When I left, she wasn't awake yet.”

Finnick nodded and did not say much after that.

As soon as Vivian woke up the next morning, she packed up and went to work at the magazinecompany. It wouldn't make her feel good if she were to skip work for another day after taking somany days off.

"Hello everyone, long time no see.” Despite her smile and joyful greeting, Vivian noticed none of hercolleagues responded but stare at her in an inexplicable manner. It was as if their gazes were filledwith... pity.

“What's the matter?” Vivian was puzzled by everyone's reaction and wondered if she had missedany big news by not going to work for a few days.

Everybody kept doing their own things with their head lowered down. No one answered Vivian'squestion.

As she sat down, with a puzzled look on her face, Vivian surveyed her colleagues around her. Shenoticed that everyone was looking at her secretly. However, the moment their gazes met, theyhurriedly turned away and pretended to be busy.

She was really baffled by that. Vivian stood up, walked over to Sarah's seat and pulled her into thepantry quietly.

"Vivian..." Sarah stared at Vivian worriedly, then she pulled Vivian's hand while she spoke withconviction, “Vivian, you don't need to worry. I believe Mr. Norton is not that type of person.”"Huh?" After hearing Sarah say that, Vivian was utterly confused. “What has this got to do withFinnick? What's happening, Vivian? Why are you acting weirdly too?”

"Vivian, weren't you there?” Sarah was also confused by Vivian.

"What do you mean?”

“It's regarding Evelyn returning back from the dead. Weren't you at the cemetery?”

So this is the reason why everyone's acting weirdly. Vivian smiled bitterly. And she thought shemissed some big news, not expecting it to be about her. This matter was trending on the internetand widely spread all over Twitter. Everyone would definitely know about this.

“Vivian, you should not believe those words on the Internet, they are all just speculations.” Sarahcontinued comforting Vivian, “Even though you are not as beautiful as Evelyn, I believe that Mr.Norton is not the kind of person who only cares about appearance. He wouldn't abandon you forsure.”

Vivian laughed at herself in her heart when she realized that even Sarah, who has always been byher side, didn't think she was as good as Evelyn too.

When Sarah noticed that her words did not only fail to comfort Vivian, but also made her moodeven worse, only then did she realize what she had just said.

"Vivian, I dont mean that... I...” Sarah panicked as she tried to explain to Vivian.

“It's alright, I understand. Go back to your work.” Vivian patted Sarah's shoulder to let her know thatshe knew she meant no harm.
