Never Late, Never Away Chapter 785

Back then, she left without taking anything with her. Hence, all her clothes were still lying intact inthe wardrobe.

Nevertheless, after so many years, she had slimmed down too much and those clothes didn't fitanymore. Vivian took out the clothes and put them in a box, preparing to throw them away.

After all, five years had passed and she couldn't really wear them anymore. And even if she could,those were some uninteresting old outfits that Vivian no longer wanted to wear.

Her current lifestyle was to dress well, eat well, and never let herself be deprived of what shedeserved.

While she was still packing the old clothes, she heard the phone ringing downstairs.

Finnick had already picked it up when Vivian got downstairs. However, Finnick’s expression turnedincreasingly somber as he stayed on the phone. Eventually, he uttered, “Alright, I'll be there rightaway."

With that, he hung up the phone and turned to Vivian. “Evelyn has disappeared.”

That piece of news gave Vivian a severe shock. Shouldn't Evelyn be in the hospital? How did she justdisappear all of a sudden?

Vivian couldn't get her head around it. She purposely asked the nurse to keep watch on Evelynwhen she was leaving the hospital. How did it turn out this way?

“Let's go to the hospital and take a look.” Though bewildered, Vivian quickly came to understandthat one had to be painstaking in order to keep someone properly guarded.

She could only blame herself for not taking enough precautions to prevent this from happening andnot put the blame on others.

“Alright.” Finnick took Larry in his arms and left for the hospital with Vivian.

“Daddy, who went missing?” From their conversations earlier, Larry knew that someone had gonemissing.

But he had no idea who it was.

“It's a bad person.” Vivian didn’t answer and waited for Finnick to respond.

However, she didn't expect Finnick to be so straightforward and referred to Evelyn as a bad persondirectly.

“Mmm... Then, would she be like me and was just staging an act of being kidnapped?” Larrysuddenly thought about the kidnapping which he had faked previously.

He was curious and wanted to know if this current incident was a sham plotted by the bad personto ask them for money.

“There is no reason for her to do that.” Finnick gave a thought about what Larry said and didn'tthink that Evelyn would have any reason to do so.

Evelyn had completely no advantage in putting on an act as such. Hence, the reason she hadvanished was most probably to escape from this place and then make a comeback.

To win Finnick's heart again.

That was what Vivian thought.

Women knew women best. Vivian was of the opinion that Evelyn would never give up on Finnick soeasily.

“Then why did she leave?” Hearing that the idea he gave was not possible, Larry tried to inquirefurther in another way.

“Little pumpkin, listen. This is a matter among the adults, and as a kid, you should stay away and notask too much about it, alright?” Vivian stroked his hair gently. She didn't want Larry to know toomuch about this matter which concerned Evelyn.

After all, it was not something worth mentioning but a long-standing grudge.

There was nothing beneficial to Larry from knowing it. Hence, it was best to keep it to themselvesand not reveal it to Larry.

“I'm not a kid. I can help share Mommy and Daddy's burden as well.” Hearing Vivian's response,Larry countered in a pout.

Larry thought that he was far more sensible than his peers of the same age and was capableenough to help his parents.

Nevertheless, Finnick and Vivian always claimed that he was too young to know all these matterswhich were better concealed from him

That made Larry dislike his age sometimes. He felt that it was his age that brought about a lot ofobstacles in many of the things he encountered.

“Little pumpkin, sometimes, it's not that we want to keep things away from you, but it's becausethese matters are not worth mentioning. Do you understand?” Seeing that Larry was ratherdownhearted, Finnick tried to make him feel better.

In fact, it was partly because of Larry's age that Finnick was reluctant to fill him in, but it was alsobecause these matters weren't worthwhile to mention at all

"Yes, I understand now,” Seeing that Finnick was explaining it to him so earnestly, there was nothingthat he could refute anymore, so he answered meekly.

Finnick was relieved to replace that Larry was so mature and thoughtful.

Sitting next to Finnick, Vivian was still wondering where Evelyn went after leaving.
