A hint of bitterness rose in Vivian's heart as she watched Finnick walking away. She didn't even know why she felt like sobbing her heart out.
Due to various reasons and pure coincidence, maybe even her cowardice and deliberate avoidance; she didn't get to talk to Finnick about how he forced her to get an abortion back then. If it wasn't a misunderstanding, and he indeed instructed Noah to do so, what will happen to us? Should I forgive him for little pumpkin's sake?Or for my sake?
Strangely, Vivian couldn't resist his tenderness. She was slowly succumbing to his advances, just like how she fell for him back then. The only difference was that a nameless dread engulfed her right now instead of the delight she felt back then.
After letting out a long sigh, Vivian forced back her tears. It wasn't a good time to ponder over that right now as she still had to visit Rachel.
"You're too weak to leave the bed."
"Ma'am, I'm fine. I want to see my daughter. I'm worried about her."
When Vivian stepped into the ward, she saw Rachel arguing with a nurse. Clearly, Rachel wanted to see Evelyn instead of her.
The nurse heaved a sigh of relief upon spotting Vivian. "You're her family? Please convince her to stay in bed until the IV drip is empty. She's insisting on taking off the drip."
Rachel was still mad at Vivian, so she turned away and ignored Vivian. Tears pricked at Vivian's eyes upon seeing her reaction, but she quickly reined in her emotions.
"Thank you. Don't worry, I'll make sure she stays here until the drip is finished." Vivian came to her bed and assured the nurse.
