"Go away now! I don't want to see you ever again!" Vivian yelled at Finnick.
She felt extremely depressed due to their silence. At the same time, the immense sense of helplessness that she had five years ago filled her mind once again. At this moment, she wished to cry and shriek to release her maddening desperation.
"Vivian, please don't do this. Let's talk nicely. I..."
Sensing that Vivian was a little emotionally unstable, Finnick wanted to come up to her to comfort her. However, Vivian refused him outright and opened the door of the office instead.
"Leave now! Go!" she yelled at Finnick while pointing at the entrance.
After all, the office was where Vivian worked. Finnick knew that they could hardly sit down and talk now. Also, Vivian would be even more irritated if he refused to leave.
As such, he decided to look for another opportunity to talk to Vivian about the matter again. However, there was one thing that was certain-he would never let go of her. I won't let her go even if she hates me!
Finnick thought about it but decided to hold his tongue. He glanced at Vivian with mixed feelings for a while and slowly left her office.
After Finnick left the office, Vivian felt that all of her energy had drained. As such, she went weak at the knees and collapsed into the chair.
Vivian looked pale-faced and kept gasping for air as though she was severely ill.
As she buried her head in her arms, her entire body trembled slightly. Benedict's heart skipped a beat as soon as he entered the room and saw her.
Earlier on, he saw that Finnick looked upset as he walked out of the office. Now that Vivian also looked terrible, he guessed that their conversation didn't go well.
He went up to Vivian to pat her on her back and said sympathetically, "If you don't want to see him, we can return to A Nation. Why do you have to do this to make yourself sad?"
There were some tears on Vivian's face when she looked up at him. She replied sobbingly but determinedly, "Ben, I have to do this. This is the only way to protect little pumpkin and me."
