Vivian knew all too well that it was only when Evelyn was thinking about Finnick would such an expression appear on her face.
Therefore, Vivian turned to Finnick and shot him a glare.
Not knowing how to react, Finnick rubbed his nose as an indication that it had nothing to do with him.
Vivian fast-forwarded the recorded clip and saw Evelyn taking a piece of cloth in her hand, tearing up alone, and seemed to be yelling something.
However, none of them could lip read.
Nevertheless, judging from her intense emotions, Vivian reckoned that Evelyn must have been berating her then.
Seeing that, Finnick felt even more awkward, but Vivian didn't say anything, nor did she blame him.
"Look, this was what happened on the day that Evelyn ran away." Vivian pointed at the laptop screen and asked them to take a closer look.
All they saw from the screen was Evelyn escaping from the ward as soon as she woke up early that morning. Even before the saline bottle attached to the back of her hand was emptied, she pulled the needle off and ran out of the ward.
"Well, we can't really find Evelyn anymore now,” Disheartened, Vivian looked at Finnick and said.
Initially, she thought she had found some trails that would be able to trace Evelyn and find her back.
But then realization dawned on her that they ended up with nothing meaningful. What are we
going to do now?
Vivian wasn't afraid of Evelyn, but once Evelyn got outside, she would cause them more trouble, and their life would be greatly affected.
Vivian didn't want that. All she ever wanted was to lead a peaceful and happy life.
And that wish seemed a little difficult to be fulfilled at the moment.
The only way out for Vivian was to look for Evelyn and keep her at a place where she could see and manage.
"Let's go and check the surveillance camera on the road and see where she went.” Finnick also knew very well the significance of Evelyn's escape.
Hence, he was of the opinion that they should go looking for her immediately since she hadn't left
for too long.
