Finnick then took the time to analyze the situation before deciding to bring Vivian home with him.
As Vivian had lost her mind, he had to search for Larry himself.
After retrieving the medications, he returned to find Benedict waiting at the door with a seemingly excited Vivian. The corners of Finnick's mouth turned up in a smile as he reached out and caressed Vivian's cheek.
Turning to Benedict, he said, "Ben, I broke my promise. Instead of taking good care of Vivian, I let her suffer." Back then, when Finnick came to plead for Vivian's return, he gave Benedict his word that he would take good care of Vivian.
Guilt crept across Finnick at the sight of Vivian's predicament. Benedict seemed unperturbed. He knew how upset Finnick was.
"Back then, I wasn't in love. But now, I know how hard it is to protect someone you love. You don't have to apologize, for you have done your best. Think about your next step carefully," Benedict concluded.
After patting Finnick's shoulder, he bade goodbye to the former and walked away.
He wasn't needed here anymore. Plus, they needed their alone time.
Spotting Vivian's chapped lips, Finnick rushed to the water dispenser and filled up a cup of water for her. Instead of drinking it, Vivian poured it onto the ground while mumbling, "Little pumpkin, have some water. You must be parched."
Finnick could only watch as she emptied the cup's content onto the floor. He promptly refilled the cup and brought it to her lips.
"Vivian, your lips are chapped, too." After Vivian gulped down the water obediently, she wrapped her arms around Finnick.
"Larry's such a good boy, Finnick. But why isn't he as cheerful as before?" she declared. "Never mind.
As long as he remains by my side." She started giggling happily.
