Never Late, Never Away Chapter 460

Benedict shook his head and smiled at Vivian. “Evelyn's birthday is on the twelve of September, so

it's still far off. When we throw her a birthday party then, you will definitely be invited.”

“Thank you.” Vivian forced a smile at Benedict. However, she felt that something was wrong. Why is

Evelyn's birthday so close to mine?

Unless... An idea faintly emerged in Vivian's head. She refused to believe her guess earlier. But now,

her thoughts were driving her crazy.

No, it can't be. In her mind, Vivian was trying to convince herself that Rachel wouldn't do something

like that.

As Vivian stared blankly at her coffee mug, her eyes were filled with disbelief. She mumbled softly to

herself, “It can't be. It can't be...”

Puzzled by her reaction, Benedict asked, “Are you alright? What can't be?”

"Huh?" Benedict's words jolted Vivian back to her senses. “No, it's nothing.”

Raising her head to look at him, Vivian's eyes were filled with mixed emotions. Is the reason I feel an

inexplicable sense of familiarity with Benedict because... She didn't dare think any further as she

tried to maintain her presence of mind.

"I just remembered I have something important to deal with. I'm sorry to have invited you out but

end up leaving early instead,” Vivian remarked in an apologetic manner.

Benedict smiled as he didn't mind. “It's alright. Coincidentally, I have been busy recently and did not

have the opportunity to relax. Hence, I have just given myself the day off today.”

“Mmm-hmm.” Vivian was grateful for how considerate he was. “In that case, I'll take my leave first.”

“Do you need me to give you a lift?"

“No, no.” Vivian declined his kind offer immediately. “The place I'm going to is close by. So it's fine.”

“Alright.” Benedict didn't insist. He understood that sometimes good intentions might end up

bringing trouble to others.

After saying goodbye to Benedict, Vivian headed for the library in the city center.

Vivian was sure that the kidnapping incident that happened to the Morrison family would definitely

have been reported in the papers. And the library was the best place to look for it so that she could

find out the truth.

When she arrived at the library, she informed the librarian that she was looking for newspapers from

more than twenty years ago.

The librarian who was advanced in age gave Vivian a curious look. “It's not going to be easy. It has

already been so long and no one has actually kept proper records of them. What do you want them

for?”

"Our magazine is writing an exposé on a particular theme. Therefore, I need to check the old

newspapers as part of my research.” Vivian cooked up an excuse.

The librarian nodded in acknowledgment and had no further questions. She led Vivian to an

underground storage room. “There you go. All the old newspapers are stored here and they are

labeled by years. Please be my guest.”

“Thank you.” Vivian replied with a smile.

“No problem. Just be mindful not to mess them up. It's a pain to reorganize them again,” the

librarian nagged once more before leaving.

Staring at the piles of newspapers in front of her, Vivian had a headache as she didn’t even know

where to begin.

After searching for the whole afternoon, she finally found the article regarding the kidnapping.

Smiling, Vivian quickly laid out the paper on the floor and read its contents carefully.

The report stated that Evelyn was kidnapped from the maternity ward right after she was born. The

Morrison family didn't even get to see her face. After the kidnappers received the ransom, they

didn't return her to the Morrison family. Instead, they dumped the baby and fled. After that, Evelyn

was found by a good Samaritan who returned her to the hospital.

From what Benedict told her, Vivian gathered that the good Samaritan must be Rachel.

However, the more she read the more she felt something was amiss. Since the Morrison family had

not seen Evelyn as a newborn, how did they know the baby Rachel returned to them was theirs?

Weren't they worried about getting the wrong baby?
