Never Late, Never Away Chapter 440

"Vivian's mother was diagnosed with leukemia, and she panicked for a bit. I'm going to get hernow.”

“Leukemia? How?" The old man was shocked to hear the news. “How serious is it? What did thedoctor say?”

“I'm not sure. She wasn't able to say much else because she was crying.”

“That poor child. After a shell-shocking revelation, God deals her a sh*tty hand again.” The elder Mr.Norton waved Finnick off hurriedly. “Well, off with you. She's all alone, and she’s probably panickedherself half to death.”

“I'll see you soon, Grandpa.” With that, Finnick strode out of the study with Noah in tow.

“Wait.” The elderly man seemed to recall something and caught Finnick right before he opened thedoor.

“Grandpa, is there anything else you need?”

With a slightly sheepish glance at Finnick, the elder Mr. Norton bade Noah leave the roombeforehand.

Noah nodded in understanding and went downstairs to wait instead.

Finnick gave the old man a puzzled look. What is Grandpa up to? What is it that Noah can't hear?The elder Mr. Norton hesitated briefly before speaking. “I think you and Vivian should be a bitmore... mindful, given the current circumstances. A pregnancy is the last thing you both need in theface of something like this.”

Finnick noticed that the old man had a faint blush on his cheeks. Samuel Norton was truthfully quiteembarrassed at needing to discuss this with someone younger. But how could he refrain whenVivian had already gone through so much? The poor child could never seem to catch a break.

The warning had made a mess of Finnick’s emotions. He clenched his fists as he recalled theunwelcome image of the four men humiliating Vivian and her loud pleas for help.

Finnick knew that the incident would scar him for life at this rate. Every time he thought of this, hefelt his heart break. How would he ever forget?

Sensing the anger that Finnick emanated, the elderly man sighed. These kids have really gotten theshort end of the stick.

With some difficulty, Finnick closed his eyes and tried to will the images away. “I understand.”

The elder Mr. Norton hummed in response and patted Finnick on the shoulder. “Well, don't let mekeep you. Vivian is waiting. Also, remember to be nicer to her in the future.”

“ will.” Finnick made the solemn declaration that he would treasure Vivian for the rest of his life asthe old man mouthed his approval.

With a final nod towards the elder Mr. Norton, Finnick turned on his heel and walked towards theelevator.

When Finnick got downstairs, he found Noah waiting by the car with the door open. The pair thentravelled to the hospital at breakneck speed.

Finnick rushed all the way to Rachel's ward when a sobbing figure caught his eye. He turned aroundand wondered if that was actually Vivian.

As he stopped to take a closer look, he then breathed a slight sigh of relief when saw that it wasactually her.

Vivian had been so grief-stricken that it took her a while to realize that someone had approachedher from the front.

She finally looked up at the fuzzy figure squatting in front of her, but the tears came out morefiercely than before.

With a loud wail, she flung herself into Finnick's arms as if she'd finally found an anchor.

Finnick held Vivian tightly in his arms as he caressed her back soothingly. “It's okay, I'm here.Everything will be alright, don't cry.”

Vivian could only cry harder as she heard Finnick's gentle voice. “What should I do, Finnick? Thedoctor said that I might be a possible donor, but what if it doesn't match? What if I can't save myown mother?”

"You still have me, don't you?” murmured Finnick gently. “Believe me. We'll go through thistogether. Everything will be alright.

“If yours does not match, then we'll replace a donor who does. Even if we have to go abroad. There areso many people in the world! It would be impossible not to replace a match. Don't worry. I'll doeverything in my power to save your mother, so please calm down, alright?”
