Never Late, Never Away Chapter 441

“Really?” Vivian looked at Finnick tearfully. He was her only hope.

"Of course.” Finnick wiped away her tears and stroked her cheek. “She'll be okay. Just trust me,won't you?”

“I-I will.” Vivian nodded vigorously. “If you say she'll be fine, then she will be fine. I trust you.”"Good. Shall we go see her first?”

"Absolutely not!" exclaimed Vivian, who was agitated again. “I haven't told her anything, and I don'twant her to see me like this!"

“In that case, why don’t we head home?”

Vivian nodded weakly at that.

Then, Finnick turned around and gently escorted a weakened Vivian to the car that was waitingoutside.

Throughout the ride home, Finnick held her in his arms.

She was probably emotionally exhausted. In a few moments, Vivian fell asleep on his shoulder. Hereyes were still wet with lingering teardrops, but Finnick thought that she looked particularlyvulnerable.

When the couple arrived home, Finnick had to carry her out of the car and into the house. Givenhow the news took a toll on her, Vivian never woke up despite the commotion.

Finnick gingerly carried her to the bedroom and set her down on the bed. After he tucked her in, helay down next to her in silence.

Although Vivian was in deep slumber, it was not a fitful rest. She felt herself weave in and out ofdreams that passed into nightmares. Now and then, tears would wet the corners of her closed eyes.Finnick could not sleep a wink when he saw how restless she was. With a thumb, he gently wipedVivian's tears away and held her, hoping that he could provide some comfort.

He reflected on how recently, he seemed to have seen more of her tears than anything else. This isall my fault. All I can do is make my wife cry.

Slowly, he leaned over to kiss the top of Vivian's head as he gently patted her back as he would achild. Finnick hoped that the simple gesture would bring her some comfort in her sleep.

When Vivian awoke a while later in a dark bedroom, she was initially confused. Am I at home? Whattime is it?

She reached over to turn the lights on and gradually willed herself into sobriety. However, sherecalled what happened at the hospital earlier and started to shed tears again.

Finnick happened to walk in on Vivian crying in silence, her fists bunched up in the sheets. With alow sigh, Finnick walked to the bed and held her in his arms. “Hey, don’t cry. You're going to cryyour eyes out if you don't stop.”

With conscious effort, Vivian did her best to hold back her tears as she looked at Finnick.

He felt his heart sting when he saw that Vivian's eyes were swollen to the size of plums. “You haven'teaten all day, I think? Why don't you wash up, and we'll head down for some food?”

Vivian answered him with a very hoarse-sounding “yes” and padded into the bathroom

After she washed her face and went downstairs, she found that the table was already set for asimple meal. Finnick had made her a simple but hearty chicken stew. The kindness and thegentleness of Finnick's gesture touched Vivian. This reminded her how things were before Evelynshowed up and ruined everything.

Over the next few days, Finnick did not go to work. Instead, he stayed at home and kept Viviancompany, all while he actively put effort into placing inquiries. He had contacted several experts inleukemia research.

His actions had cleared all doubts Vivian had about Finnick not loving her. She found herselfreveling in a bond that had only deepened much further.

The day came when Vivian finally received the much-awaited call from the hospital. She was to gothere in person to get the full report and decide on her next course of action.

"Of course, I'll be there right away.” She rushed to the hospital anxiously as soon as she hung up.Finnick, unfortunately, had some matters to oversee at the Finnor Group. Thus, Vivian had to take ataxi to the hospital by herself.

The journey to the hospital was nerve-wracking. Vivian fidgeted restlessly in the car, unable to stopherself from thinking about the worst possible outcomes. What if my bone marrow does not matchRachel's? Can Finnick really step in and help me replace a donor? And if I really can't replace a donor, am Igoing to watch my mother die?
