However, Finnick objected, "No."
"Why?"
"You have not recovered yet."
After all, Vivian had hurt her head and it would be terrible if there were any long-term effects.
"I'm fine. I know my body very well.”
Given how persistent she was, Finnick couldn't help but agree.
Now that Finnick had returned to the office, there were tons of issues that needed his attention.
Meanwhile, Vivian was due to be discharged today. Finnick had planned to pick her up but she didn't allow him to do so. Hence, he didn't come in
the end.
On one side, it was because Vivian threatened him not to, and on the other side, his company needed his undivided attention. Therefore, Finnick decided not to go after giving it some thought.
Instead, he instructed Noah and a couple of bodyguards to send her home.
"Mrs. Norton, please take your time."
When Noah saw Vivian, he extended his hand to help her. But when he remembered it to be inappropriate for his station, he retracted his hand awkwardly.
Vivian noticed Noah's conflicted reaction and found it amusing. However, she kept her laughter to herself.
"Hey, Noah. Are you leaving just like that?" The moment Noah and Vivian stepped out of the hospital, a girl's voice rang out from behind them.
Turning around, Vivian recognized her as the nurse that changed her IV drip. Glancing at Noah, Vivian continued walking ahead knowingly.
"I'll wait for you in the car." Right after she spoke, Vivian nodded cordially at Ivana who returned her greeting.
Although Noah was the family bodyguard, he was still human and had the right to love just like anyone else.
Hence, Vivian never restricted his freedom from doing so. In fact, after serving their family for so many years, Vivian would be glad if he managed to find a partner.
