Never Late, Never Away Chapter 554

Even though Vivian knew how serious Rachel’s condition was, she was still stunned when she entered the room. Her tears flowed down her cheeks and all the mental preparation she made crumbled into nothing.

She covered her mouth as the beads of tear shattered on the floor, afraid that she might break down from what she was seeing.

The woman on the bed in front of her was nigh unrecognizable. Vivian could not even tell if she was actually her mother.

Currently, Rachel was on the drip. Veins could be seen all over her scrawny hand, so thin that it looked like she had only skin and bones left. On top of that, there was a huge concentration of needle marks.
