Never Late, Never Away Chapter 555

“My body's still hanging in there. I'll have to bear with it and see how long it lasts,” Rachel calmlyanswered Vivian. She had already lost hope during the years of waiting.

Vivian was perturbed when she heard what Rachel said. It was unhealthy of Rachel to be facing herillness in such a pessimistic manner.

“Did Evelyn ever came to visit you? Did she test the compatibility of her bone marrow? You need toget this surgery done as soon as possible!”

Vivian's word left Rachel speechless. Her disappointment was clearly visible from her eyes. Noticingthat, Vivian had a realization.

“Don't tell me. Did Evelyn refuse to donate her bone marrow?” She asked with a hint of rage on herexpression. Would she really leave her own birth mother to die like this?

“No. It's not like that,” Rachel frantically waved her hands as she denied. “Evelyn has been reallybusy. It's not that she doesn't want to. She merely did not have the time. Please don'tmisunderstand.”

Rachel's panicked reaction had affirmed Vivian of her speculation, and she sneered. Busy? She hadtime to even go on a cruise! How can she not have time to save her mother, who's currently atdeath's door!

Even though Vivian had already witnessed the cruelty Evelyn possessed, but this was a new low,even for her standards. Never had Vivian ever met someone who could be so ruthless with theirblood relatives. Her brows knitted as she looked at the frail Rachel right in front of her.

She's not going to last any longer if she doesn't get that transplant soon. Do I really need to lookfor Evelyn?

The thought of that selfish and sinister woman made Vivian rethink everything.

And while she was facing that difficult decision, her phone rang. Vivian's face immediately darkenedas she read the caller's indication. It was none other than Evelyn.

“It's Evelyn! Quick, Vivian. Pick up the call!” Rachel urged when she saw Evelyn's name on Vivian'sphone screen. Her eyes sparkled with care and longing as she formed a smile on her face.

This reaction pained Vivian inside. No matter how Evelyn treated Rachel, Rachel would never blameher simply because she gave birth to Evelyn. She would even replace excuses to defend her and getreally excited whenever there was news about her.

"Quick, Vivian! What if she hangs up?” Rachel was getting anxious, seeing that Vivian was onlystaring at the phone. This time, there was a hint of admonishment in her voice.

Vivian's heartache worsened from hearing that. She could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Thisis the difference between a birth child and someone else's, I suppose? Does she really have to be soangsty just because I am not picking up immediately? Would she still act the same if it was mecalling Evelyn?

She realized how stupid it was of her to feel so much concern for Rachel a moment ago. After all,Vivian was not Rachel's kin, and Rachel would never treat her like she was. Vivian knew that shecould never overthrow Evelyn's importance in Rachels's heart.

Even though a lot was going on in her head, Vivian eventually picked up the phone. She could notsimply end the call in front of Rachel anyway.

"Vivian, are you right now?” Evelyn sounded really pleasant and polite. Nevertheless, Vivian knewbetter. She was immediately on high alert, thinking that Evelyn was plotting something against heronce again. It had become a conditioned reflex at this point after the numerous occasions whereEvelyn set her up.

"What can I do for you?” Vivian tried to be as polite as possible since Rachel was right in front ofher. In her head, she would have screamed at Evelyn if she was anywhere else

“Let's talk. If you're right now, I'll send you the location, okay?”

Vivian instinctively wanted to refuse, but she did not.
