"Mrs. Norton, please don't try to put up a fight. Let us bring you to the hospital, alright?” Noah advised ruefully.
"Noah, please call Finnick and let me talk to him! There's no way that he could be this cruel!" Vivian shouted through her tears. "Noah, please! Noah!"
Upon hearing her plea, Noah turned a sickly shade of green.
Vivian was right. Finnick loved her so much that he was willing to give up his career and future for her. He isn't this heartless-but Evelyn is!
Rage flared up within Noah at the thought of Evelyn, his hands clenching into fists. But he had no choice other than becoming Evelyn's partner-in-crime.
Fighting back tears, Noah's voice was hoarse as he ordered the bodyguards, "Take Mrs. Norton in." He turned around as soon as the words left his mouth.
There was no doubt that if he continued to watch Vivian cry and beg, he would give in to her plea. But he couldn't. Not when his parents were still at Evelyn's mercy.
Thus, Vivian was strapped onto a gurney and instantly wheeled into an operating room where a team of surgeons was already waiting for her.
Her eyes were full of fear and agony as she helplessly watched the surgeons prepare their medical instruments. The sight drained her of all emotion, leaving her with no more tears left to cry.
A surgeon walked towards her, holding a speculum that glinted in the light. For some reason, the image of Finnick and Evelyn fooling around in their bedroom suddenly surfaced in her mind.
Why?How could Finnick disregard all the memories and love that we shared? How could he be so cruel?
Thinking of how Finnick was probably having fun with another woman as she lay here about to lose her first child, resentment sprouted within Vivian's heart.
From now on, however much I love you I have for you will be equal to the hatred I have for you.
