"So it's you! It's all your fault!” The robber exclaimed.
My business, my family, everything I had is gone because of this woman. She should die! Both of them should die! I had a good life ahead of me, but it's all ruined because of this couple. I'll make them pay! You should both suffer in hell!
The hatred in his eyes was burning furiously as the robber slowly approached Vivian. He was ready to pull the trigger at any moment.
"Mommy, no!" Larry saw what was going on from the deck through the window and was about to rush to the hall to save Vivian. Please! Don't let anything bad happen to Mommy!
However, Hunter immediately gave Larry a bear hug, locking him in place as Hunter did all he could to suppress Larry's struggling and stop him from going in. Hunter was currently in disbelief.
When he first started learning the language, he learned something about love that transcended life and death. He refused the notion thinking that no one would ever do something so stupid.
To him, besides the parents, there was nothing more important than one's own life. Love was just a way to have fun and kill time. There was no point in getting hurt over it.
Nevertheless, that day, he finally realized that something like that did, in fact, exist. A feeling so strong that one would forfeit their life for another.
Does Vivian actually hate Finnick like how she acts?
Back in the hall, Vivian's senses intensified from the tension. She could clearly feel the beads of sweat slipping down the back of her ears while the beating of her heart pummeled at her eardrum. Vivian closed her eyes when she realized the gun was getting really close.
Sorry, Little pumpkin. I won't be able to watch you grow up, watch you get married, and have kids. I'm so sorry...
Her tears flowed down her cheeks as she waited hopelessly for the sound of gunfire. But it never came.
What she heard instead was the robber's painful cry. So, she opened her eyes.
In front of Vivian, the robber was lying down on his back with one hand on his shoulder. He was moaning in pain while Finnick wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth and pointed the gun at the robber.
