Never Late, Never Away Chapter 459
Having each ordered a coffee, they chatted about the latest developments in their lives.
"How is Ms. Rachel's health?â Just when Vivian didn't know how to broach the topic about Rachel
and Evelyn, Benedict brought it up first.
âMy mom is in good shape.â After giving it some thought, Vivian decided not to tell Benedict about
Rachel's leukemia. âIt's just that she has recently complained about not having seen your sister in a
long time.â
âIs that so?â Benedict chuckled. âShe always has a soft spot for Evelyn since a long time ago. When I
have the time, I'll take Evelyn to the hospital to visit Ms. Rachel.â
âThank you.â Vivian raised her head and smiled.
Stirring her coffee gently, she pretended to casually ask, âI really feel my mom adores your sister.
When she was working at the Morrison residence, was she always especially nice to Evelyn?â
âMmm-hmm,â Benedict nodded. âMs. Rachel had always loved and taken great care of Evelyn since
she was little. In fact, the reason your mom worked as a nanny in my house was because of Evelyn.â
"How so?â Vivian asked with an anxious expression.
When he noticed the concerned look on Vivian's face, Benedict couldn't help but get suspicious. But
he assumed that she was just being curious and continued to explain, âWhen Evelyn was born, she
was kidnapped from the maternity ward. At that time, my family was in a panic as we were not able
to find her.â
He continued, âLater on, Ms. Rachel brought Evelyn back and my parents were extremely grateful.
They wanted to reward her with a large sum of money but she refused. There was nothing my family
could do to convince here otherwise.â
He added, âA few years later, she suddenly came to our house when we were looking to hire a
nanny. My family recognized her and wanted to give her the reward money again now that she had
fallen on hard times. However, she still refused it saying that she had rescued Evelyn by accident. If
we really wanted to thank her, we should just hire her as the nanny.â
Benedict continued, âMy family had no choice but to agree. Given that she seemed to be tied to
Evelyn by fate, they decided to let Ms. Rachel care for her. In other words, you can say that Evelyn
was raised by Ms. Rachel.â When he finished, Benedict raised his coffee mug and took a sip.
Having heard the story, Vivian was confused as to how did Rachel manage to save Evelyn
âDid my mom ever mention how has she saved your sister?â Vivian asked curiously.
"Hmm." Pondering in silence, Benedict tried to recall what happened then. However, nothing came
to mind
âI'm not really sure as I was too young back then. That's why I barely can remember what happened.
In fact, my parents told me everything I know. They said that Ms. Rachel is Evelyn's savior and we
owe her a debt of gratitude. That's why we must respect her and treat her as a family elder instead
of a servant.â
âI see.â Vivian nodded thoughtfully before asking, âIn that case, did your family investigate who
abducted your sister?â
"Of course, we did. It was just that the investigations yielded nothing. They weren't able to find out
anything about the kidnapper.â Benedict frowned. âLater on, we didn't pursue the matter any further
as Evelyn had returned safe and sound. And that was all there was to it.â
Benedict's words caused Vivian's suspicions to intensify. How did Rachel coincidentally save Evelyn
then? It would be unlikely for a woman like her to face the kidnappers alone and save the child. This
doesnât make any sense at all.
Furthermore, given how powerful the Morrison family is, how could they not find the kidnappers
then? Unless, the kidnapping didnât occur at all.
The more she thought about it the more shocked Vivian was. She was surprised that Benedict's
explanation didnât lay her doubts to rest. Instead, they seemed to have confirmed her suspicions.
Taking a sip of coffee, Vivian tried to suppress the shock she felt before casually asking, âBenedict, is
Evelyn's birthday around the corner?â
