A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 55

As he turned her around forcefully, he was astonished to see tears streaming down her cheeks.

Vivian yelled at the top of her voice, "Let go of me! My mom needs surgery! Let go!"

Finnick’s eyes darkened, but he did not let go of her. Instead, he pulled her into a tight embrace and commanded, "Vivian, calm down! You won't make it in time even if you go now. Let me call Noah and get him to the hospital."
