Never Late, Never Away

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 19

Morning broke and Vivian arose after a good night’s rest. She was up earlier by half an hour. After washing up, she switched on her laptop and started penning a resignation letter right away.

She did not care if people would take her as a coward who was simply running away from the situation—she just could not work under Fabian anymore.

Just as she was typing away furiously on the keyboard, her phone rang and the hospital’s number appeared on the screen.

“Ms. William? The patient’s brain waves fluctuated this morning. She could wake up anytime soon.”

Vivian widened her eyes with a huge smile on a face. “My mother may regain consciousness?”

“Yes, there is a possibility. But we don’t want to be overconfident,” the doctor said.

“I understand. I’ll wait even if it takes years!” Vivian exclaimed, leaping to her feet.

“We will assist her in every way possible. We are giving her a different treatment now that her situation is looking good. But you will need to brace yourself for the cost of the treatment.” The doctor’s voice deepened.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got her covered under health insurance. I’ll pay for any expenses not covered by the insurance.” After assuring the doctor that she would figure out a way to manage the medical expenses, Vivian hung up.

She sat back down and looked at her half-written resignation letter. Pursing her lips, she deleted everything in one go.

She could not afford to lose her job right now. It was not just because she had to pay for her mother’s medical bill, but it would also take some time before she could find another job.

Vivian scrambled to get ready and headed for work immediately.
