Just as those complicated emotions were swirling around Hunter's mind, he heard the doorbell ring. Had the doctor arrived? Then, he finally snapped out of his daze.
When he did, he felt like giving himself a slap across the face. What was I even thinking? How could I have entertained such despicable thoughts?
Immediately, he tore himself away from Vivian and ran downstairs to open the door. When he recalled Vivian's tearful expression and pitiful groans when he left, he felt his heart ache for her. Now, only the doctors could save her.
When he opened the door, however, he found himself staring at Finnick instead of the doctor.
When he saw Hunter, an expression of shock appeared on Finnick's face. "What are you doing in
Vivian's house?" Vivian had just asked him to meet her at the Morrison residence. What was Hunter doing here?
Before Hunter could reply, there was the sound of shattering glass from upstairs, accompanied by the pained mewls of a woman. It was Vivian!
Finnick pushed Hunter aside immediately and ran upstairs. What was Hunter doing here with Vivian when there was nobody else in the house right now? Was he trying to do something to her?
Here, Finnick picked up his pace. When he arrived at Vivian's room, the sight before him made him widen his eyes in shock.
Vivian was rolling around in bed with an expression of pain on her face. She kept crying repeatedly, "I want it... It's so uncomfortable... It's so hot... Hurry... Hot... I can't stand it anymore..." "Finnick, Vivian's..." Hunter rushed up behind Finnick. When he saw Vivian, he turned to Finnick and tried to explain the situation to him.
However, Finnick was so enraged by the scene before him that he could hardly speak. Thinking that this was Hunter's doing, his hands moved faster than his brain.
"You disgusting bastard!" He threw a punch at Hunter, his eyes red with anger. He gave him a hard kick in the shin. "How dare you do something like that to Vivian? What sort of uncivilized monster are you?"
"This is a misunderstanding! Can you listen to me? This isn't what you think it is..." Before he could finish speaking, Finnick had thrown another punch across his face, this time aiming for his left cheek.
