Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick)
Chapter 3118

Chapter 3118

Megan did not have much to pack as her wardrobe was a measly collection of hand-me-downs. She emerged from her bedroom with all of her things in a single knapsack.

Before they left, she cast one last look at the cottage she had called home for the past dozen years.

Though she had always wanted nothing more than to leave, she felt her heart twinge when she realized she was never coming back.

At long last, they were ready to depart.

Megan glanced at Mia's bags and the money Garret had given her.

Compared to her own single knapsack, it was a pitiful sight.

Taylor could not contain his astonishment.

"Just this?" he asked in disbelief as he held up her bag.

Megan nodded in acknowledgment with a smile, acting as though it was a normal thing for village girls to do.

Mia rolled her eyes at Megan and Taylor. She took a step over the threshold but was halted by Garret's yells.

Glancing back, she found herself face to face with her tearful mother.

"When you get to the city" she sniffled, "be sure to call me all the time!"

Mia did not attempt to hide her disdain for the pathetic sight of her mother.

You've embarrassed me enough when you packed so much sh*t for me to bring, and now you're being so clingy. When is this going to end?

"I know" she said impatiently as she tried to brush Garret's hands off of hers.

"Go back now. We must get moving, or we'll be behind schedule again!"

Megan felt saddened by the sight of Garret being so loving toward her own daughter.

If her mother had not died, she might not be living in such a wretched state.

Mia wrenched herself free from Garret's clutches and went up the car.

Wiping her tears, Garret turned around as Megan passed and stuffed some money into her hands reluctantly.

"Take care of your sister in the city!"

"Hmm."

Megan nodded coldly.

As the car moved further away, Megan glanced back and saw Garret still wiping her tears. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her stepmother.

In her previous life, Garret had fallen ill a couple of months after the girls left for the city.

It was later diagnosed to be cancer.

However, Mia had dodged all her mother's attempts to contact her.

It was only on her deathbed that she sought out Megan, who had taken pity on her.

She took her stepmother for medical treatments until her dying day, less than half a month later.

Garret never saw Mia again.It wasn't surprising, judging by Mia's character.

She had been at the peak of her career; it would have been embarrassing for her to be seen with a poor village woman as a mother.

Mia had wanted nothing to do with Garrett, even wishing that she would die without involving her.

If Mia was capable of treating her birth mother this way, it came as no surprise that she would later attempt to murder her stepsister.

Megan clenched her fists as she swore an oath to herself.

Herman and Mia will suffer as much as Megan was capable of.

It was a bumpy ride.

The rugged scenery of the mountains gave way to a bustling metropolis.

Mia stared all around her in wonder as she had seen cities only on television before.

Megan was much less impressed - it was an extremely common sight for her.

However, it served to trigger bitter memories from her past life.

The events that had led up to her first death haunted her in her dreams.

Even the conversation between Herman and Mia was seared into her subconscious.

There was one other remark that had been made by Mia that Megan could not understand.

"Mr.Wilson only wants Megan to die..."

Megan racked her brains to search for her memories of her previous life. She could not recall ever hearing the name Wilson. Megan had never heard Herman mention such a name either.

Who is Mr. Wilson, and why did he want me dead? Megan was certain that she had not wronged anybody in her previous life.

When she signed her contract, her existence felt lowly; she felt as if she had only been born to serve Mia.

She could only watch as her sister became an overnight celebrity after her appearance in Felix's commercial.

The agency that represented them bumped her up, and Mia soon surpassed the fame of Jacinta, the most popular actress during that time.
