Sarah sighed. "Finnick and Fabian... As long as one of these two men is in love with me, I would be willing to take the rap just like Vivian."
Amused, she shook her head and went back to work.
Fabian walked up to the entrance of the washroom and waited for Vivian to come out.
While he was waiting for her, he suddenly remembered the time when they were in university.
Back then, Vivian was innocent and simple, like a dazzling flower.
He still remembered the time when she participated in a long-distance run at a sports event. But she had accidentally twisted her ankle during the run. Worried about her, he urged her to quit the race. However, she was stubborn and insisted on finishing it.
With that, he stayed by her side and accompanied her to complete the race.
The moment she crossed the finishing line, she collapsed to the ground. Fabian quickly carried her and rushed to the infirmary.
At that time, Vivian was so docile in his arms. She could only cling on to him helplessly.
Fabian couldn't help but sigh at that thought. No matter how happy they were, those days were gone, and there was no turning back.
Goodbye, myyouth.And what about Vivian? Are our good times gone forever too?
Fabian had waited outside the washroom for quite some time when Vivian finally walked out with reddened and swollen eyes.
Seeing her disheveled state, he quickly stepped forward to comfort her. As he carefully supported her, he could feel how cold her body was.
"Vivian, I'm sorry."
Looking up at Fabian, Vivian noticed that his eyes were filled with adoration.
Vivian answered, "There's nothing to be sorry about."
Actually, Fabian was apologizing on behalf of Ashley, but he couldn't tell her that the person who orchestrated the horrible incident two years ago was her own sister. He was afraid that she would take things too hard.
Had Ashley not started the scandal by drugging her and getting someone to assault her sexually, Vivian would have stood with pride as the wife of a president.
Fabian said, "I'm sorry that I have not protected you well enough. I don't deserve your love, Vivian."
