“I am glad you are fine.” Rachel let out a sigh of relief and then asked anxiously, “Vivian, what’s the address of that apartment? I am worried that Evelyn would have a hard time living alone. I should go take care of her.”
“It’s alright. I have already hired a nanny to take care of her.” Vivian tried to assure Rachel. “This nanny has been working in the Morrison family for several years. She is very experienced, so you don’t have to worry. Your current physical condition is also not very good, so it is better not to exhaust yourself. After you recover, I will bring you to see her again.”
Hearing these words from Vivian, Rachel was grateful. “Vivian, thank you so much. Thank you for helping Evelyn.”
“It’s okay. You don’t need to thank me,” Vivian responded politely. “Didn’t you say that Evelyn and I should take care of each other?”
“I am glad that you can think of it this way.” Rachel expressed a relieved smile on the phone. “Vivian, Evelyn has been kicked out by Finnick, and I, as a mother, can’t do anything to help her. You are the only one I can count on to watch over her.”
“I understand.” Vivian’s voice sounded a little moody. “I have something else to do, so I’ll hang up first. Don’t worry. I will make sure Evelyn being well taken care of.”
“Okay. That’s good to know,” Rachel replied in a hustle.
As soon as she hung up, Vivian raised her head and took a deep breath. She was worn out.
Acting with Evelyn was exhausting, and talking to Rachel was even more so. She did not like how tiring her life was now, and she missed her old naive self.
But for the future of she and her son, reality had left her no choice. This was the only way to make sure justice be served.
Taking a deep breath to clear her head, Vivian advanced towards her car. Larry should have finished school by now. Imagining her son’s lovely face and cute voice, her mood lightened up a little.
But just after walking a few steps, Vivian detected hurried and chaotic footsteps behind her. Before she could turn her head vigilantly, she was held on a chokehold by a strong arm.
In the next instance, a pair of hands covered her nose and mouth – it was, without doubt, a man.
Vivian struggled vigorously and yelled in a muffled voice, trying to break free from the restraint of the other party. But he was too strong, and her struggle failed to move him even an inch.
Next, it was darkness all around. Vivian realized that she was blindfolded, and so she became even more anxious. Who exactly is this man? Who sent him?
“Help!” Vivian shook her head desperately while making loud noises, hoping that someone around could miraculously come to her rescue.
“Stop talking and stop struggling. As long as you don’t fight, we won’t hurt you.” The man’s hoarse voice echoed.
As the man’s words slid into her ears, the fear in her heart multiplied. Dreading that these people would do something terrible to her, Vivian hurriedly nodded and gave in.
After that, she felt she was carried being into a car, and her hands and feet were tied with rope.
Forcing herself to calm down, Vivian was guessing who the kidnapper would be. The biggest suspects are Evelyn and Mark.
But Evelyn has just been driven out from the Norton family by Finnick. She would be too busy worrying about her own a** to kidnap me at this moment. Or is it Mark? If it was him, what does he want? Does he want to use me to threaten Finnick again?
As the horror deepened, Vivian’s whole body quivered slightly. I can’t have anything happen to me. Otherwise, what will happen to Larry? My poor fatherless baby can’t lose his mother too!
With that in mind, Vivian’s brain was dashing to conceive of a way to free herself. But before she could think of anything, she felt the car came to a halt.
Are we there? Where am I now?
She was taken from the car by the two people who had been sitting next to her. Still uncertain of where she was, the sound that she heard next confused her even more.
