Never Late, Never Away Chapter 755

Finnick grabbed onto Vivian's arm just as she was about to get off. “Vivian, you look very worried.Are you sure you don't need my help?” he asked with a serious face.

Vivian looked into his earnest eyes. Her hesitation lasted just one moment, and she shook her head.“There is no need. I can handle this on my own. You should just go. If I really need your help, I willcall you.”

“Then I'll just wait for you here. In the event you need me, it'll be more convenient,” said Finnick. Heactually felt slightly angry that Vivian insisted on not letting him know what was wrong.

Hearing this, Vivian was even more flustered. What would happen if he found out about Larry whilewaiting here? She frowned and tried to urge Finnick to leave. “This is a Morrison family matter. Mybrother and I can manage it. You should just go.”

“Then I shall wait for you to resolve it before I go back,” insisted Finnick. If he just went back undersuch circumstances, he would be constantly worried about Vivian. It was better to just stick around.“Suit yourself,” Vivian replied in defeat. Anxious about her son's safety, she had no energy to keepup the game of tug-of-war with Finnick. She hurriedly got off the car after her curt reply.

Finnick followed after her. He had intended to go in with her, but he stopped himself when hethought of all the times that she had refused him. Perhaps she has some unspeakable reasons fordoing so.

Considering this, he stopped at the gate. He decided that he would just wait there, so as not tomake matters worse for Vivian.

Just as Vivian stepped into the house, Ms. Booker went up to her and blubbered, “Miss, I've lookedeverywhere! Mr. Larry is still nowhere to be seen. What should we do now?"

“You need to stop crying now and tell me how Larry went missing. Tell me everything clearly,” Viviansaid. Her stomach knotted uneasily when she heard that Larry was not found. She had to stay calmand replace out what had transpired.

Wiping the tears off her face, Ms. Booker recounted the whole ordeal between sobs. “I wasaccompanying Mr. Larry as he was drawing in the playroom. Halfway through, he suddenly said thathe was hungry and craved bread. He requested for me to make it for him. After that, I went to thekitchen.”

As she reached that part, she broke down in tears uncontrollably. “Before I came down, I hadreminded Mr. Larry to wait for me and not run off on his own. He promised me that he would stayput. But when I came back, he was gone! I've looked inside the house and everywhere else, but I justcan't replace him anywhere!”

“Did you hear anything while you were in the kitchen? Did Larry go out on his own, or did someonetake him?” Concerned that Larry could be in danger, she wanted all of the details.

Ms. Booker tearfully shook her head. “No, I did not hear anything out of the norm while in thekitchen. It was quiet in the house. I didn’t see anyone come in as well,” she said. “I thought that Mr.Larry was drawing in the room upstairs the whole time. How did he go missing?”

Since no one came in, does this mean that Larry went out on his own? Vivian was at a loss herself.“Ms. Booker, I need you to call the police and lodge a report. Tell them the whole incident and havethem help search for Larry. I will call Ben and ask him to send people to help with the search.”"O-Okay,” Ms. Booker replied. She staggered towards the phone and dialed some numbers withtrembling hands. “Hello, is this the police? I need to make a report. A child from my household ismissing... *

At the same time, Vivian whipped out her phone and called Benedict.

“Ben, Larry has gone missing!” she informed quickly in a crackly voice the moment the call wentthrough. The tears that she was holding back rolled down her cheeks as well. “Please come backnow. We can't replace him anywhere.”

Benedict was alarmed when he heard what Vivian said. “How did Larry go missing? When did thishappen?” he asked anxiously.

“It happened while I was out. I got a call from Ms. Booker all of a sudden. She said that Larry wentmissing after she was done cooking in the kitchen, so I came back immediately,” Vivian explainedshakily. Then, she continued, “I've asked her to call the police, but I'm still worried that somethingmight happen to Larry. Ben, please get someone to go search for him.”
