Vivian's face flushed scarlet. She felt a little awkward when Samuel said that in front of the doctors.
At the same time, she was doubtful as well. Since she and Finnick were long married, she should've gotten pregnant by now.
Actually, she had always wanted to have a baby with Finnick. To her, they would only be complete as a family with a child's presence. Thus, she readily agreed with Samuel's suggestion.
Half an hour later, Vivian was done with the checkup with the assistance of three doctors.
One of the doctors told them, "The result will only come out a few days later. Please give us a moment." He bowed at Samuel before leading the rest of the doctors out of the ward.
Seeing that there were only the two of them left, Vivian spoke up, "Grandpa, I need you to do me a favor."
"Oh? What is it that you want me to help you with? Just say it, I will do anything for you," Samuel agreed to her request without any hesitation.
"Thank you, Grandpa. Actually, I wanted to ask you to look into the kidnapping incident that happened ten years ago. I think there must be something we don't know about it."
Samuel's face turned grim. "Why do you say so?" he asked seriously.
"Grandpa, you're the one who raised Finnick; you know him better than anyone else. Do you think he is someone who would abandon Evelyn, leaving her to die? I don't believe it. That's why I hope you can investigate the incident. I don't want Finnick to live his life with guilt, and I wish to help him to let
go of his past."
Hearing that, Samuel was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. "You're right. Finnick hasn't moved on after all these years. Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll get to the bottom of it."
Vivian stayed in the hospital for two more days. After receiving positive check-up results, Samuel finally agreed with her discharging herself from the hospital.
