What would Mom think if she knew that I married Fabian's uncle and the son of the Norton family? Forget it. I shouldn't think about it for now.
Vivian was about to head out to get lunch for her mother when suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
She was a little stunned by this.
Mom doesn't know a lot of people in Sunshine City. Who could it be?
She opened the door to see Finnick and Noah standing outside. The former was still in a wheelchair, while the latter had a fruit basket and lunchbox in his hands.
"Finnick?" Vivian asked in a dumbfounded manner.
"Vivian, who is it?" Rachel asked.
With a slightly lost expression, she turned to look at her mother. She did not know how to respond to her question.
On the other hand, Finnick raised his brow upon hearing the voice inside. He initiated the conversation and said, "Hello Mrs. William, I'm here to visit you."
For the umpteenth time, Vivian's face blushed bright red. She opened the door and let the two men in.
Slowly, Finnick pushed himself to the front of the bed. When he noticed Rachel's shocked look, he gave her a smile and introduced himself. "Mrs. William, I am Finnick Norton. I should have visited you earlier, but Vivian always said that you were unwell."
Rachel looked at Finnick, and then at Vivian whose face was blushed. She instantly understood. "Ah, so you must be Vivian's husband. Well, you are quite different from what I imagined you to be..."
The man just smiled faintly and signaled to Noah to place the lunchbox and fruits on the desk. "Mrs. William, have you eaten lunch? I prepared some home-cooked dishes."
Vivian hurriedly walked over and opened the lunchbox. Indeed, the dishes were all prepared by Molly and were healthy and nutritious. She began to feed her mother carefully.
After being in a coma for two years, Rachel did not have a big appetite. She only had a few mouthfuls before feeling full. However, her curiosity had no limits. She observed Finnick for a moment before asking, "Finnick, right? What do you work as, may I ask?"
"Mom!" Vivian shot her mother a look as though she was chiding her.
"My dear girl, I am just concerned about you. After all, marriage is a major milestone in your life, and you got married before I woke up," Rachel lamented softly.
