Sarah caught sight of Vivian's injured foot just as everyone else was contemplating their relationship.
"Vivian!” She hurried over. Her voice cracked when she saw Vivian's injury. "I'm so sorry, Vivian. It's all my fault. You got injured because of me."
"You have nothing to do with this. Stop crying." Vivian comforted Sarah. She tugged at Finnick's arm, hinting at him to put her down. However, Finnick brushed her off and continued to carry her in his arms.
Everyone else quickly came forward to check on Vivian's injury after hearing Sarah's words.
"I asked Shannon about your whereabouts upon her return, but she wouldn't tell. She packed her bags and left in a hurry. We were so worried about you. How did you get hurt?” Caroline's heart ached for her as she stared at her swollen foot.
"It's nothing. I accidentally fell down and sprained my ankle." Vivian didn't want to speak ill of others behind their backs. She figured she would talk to Shannon privately about it.
"Then let's pack up and leave now. Ms. Morrison, you need to see the doctor!"
"That's right. I'll go pack up right away."
Nobody was in the mood to play anymore after seeing Vivian's seriously injured leg.
Vivian felt sorry to see them pack up and leave because of her. After all, it wasn't easy to get everyone together on this trip. How could they just up and leave because of her?
Just as she was about to speak up, Finnick said,
"You guys should carry on with your vacation. I will take Ms. Morrison to the hospital. Don't worry, she'll be in good hands."
Nobody commented any further upon hearing Finnick's words. They figured Mr. Norton might want to take this chance to woo Ms. Morrison. Nobody wanted to get in his way.
