Chapter 1904 Larry Showed Up
“Mom, Dad is here,” informed Lucius suddenly.
Joan was slightly stunned, but she recomposed herself soon.
“What are you talking about? Here. Eat your breakfast,” instructed Joan while putting some bread and milk in front of the child.
All of a sudden, Larry’s voice sounded from the door. “I’m here!”
Joan was taken aback instantly.
Why didn’t he call ahead?
“Dad!” greeted Lucius excitedly.
Joan was dumbstruck for a moment there. His arrival was too sudden, so she didn’t get any breakfast for him.
“I, uh, I’ll go buy you some breakfast now,” said Joan, who was about to leave the room.
But Larry was quick to stop the woman and lock her in place.
“It’s fine. We can have breakfast together. Do you mind that, Lucius?” asked Larry as he turned to look at the boy.
“Not at all. Good luck, Dad,” replied Lucius while giving his dad a thumbs up.
With that, they left the hospital holding hands.
“What just happened?” asked Delilah as she rubbed her eyes.
“Nothing, Grandma. Go back to sleep,” replied Lucius softly with a grin.
Meanwhile, in a café with dim lighting, soft music and the pleasant scent of rose filled the place.
Joan and Larry were drinking coffee in the corner, but neither spoke.
Joan suddenly got anxious.
“Larry, it was a spontaneous decision to leave the country that day. Things were a little hectic, and…” explained Joan.
Larry sipped some coffee and studied the woman in front of him carefully. It has only been a few days, but she looks like she has gone through a lot.
“I understand,” replied Larry. His rage had dissipated by then.
Right then, the familiar voice of a man sounded. “Joan!”
Larry didn’t turn around because he didn’t want to see that man.
“Morning, Dustin. Are you here to have breakfast as well? Come join us,” invited Joan with a smile.
Dustin slowly walked to the woman’s side. Only then did he realize that Larry was there too. Instantly, his face fell.
What is he doing here? A glint of disdain flashed past Dustin’s eyes.
“Dustin’s mentor is Lucius’ doctor,” Joan explained to Larry, who scoffed upon hearing that.
Does this woman actually think that his mentor was there coincidentally when they arrived at the hospital?
“Don’t worry, Joan. My mentor has already learned all about Lucius’ condition, and he will definitely cure the boy,” said Dustin while gently tapping her shoulder.
Larry was displeased to see that. She is my wife. How dare that filthy man touch her shoulders!
“I know, and I trust both you and your mentor,” replied Joan, quickly offering a piece of bread to Dustin.
Grinning, he accepted the bread and started chomping on it as if bragging to Larry. Nevertheless, Larry did not utter a single word and merely drank his coffee.
“Here, Larry. This is for you. I’ve already spread the butter for you,” offered Joan before handing Larry a piece of bread.
Disappointment instantly flashed past Dustin’s eyes.
Larry is still the man she loves, and she knows him in and out. Dustin acted like he didn’t notice anything and continued eating his breakfast.
After their meal, they headed over to the hospital.
“Mr. Norton, you’re here,” greeted Dustin’s mentor before hurrying over to shake the man’s hand.
“Thank you for your hard work,” replied Larry with a smile.
Joan was surprised to see how close the two of them seemed. Do they know each other?
“Don’t worry, Mr. Norton. The child will be fine. I will do everything I can to treat him, and I won’t disappoint you,” said the doctor while smiling.
“Then I shall thank you in advance for that,” said Larry politely.
Dustin, who was standing at the side, was confused as well.
On the other hand, Delilah was the only one who realized what was happening right away. Larry is the dependable one at crucial moments like these. At that thought, a grin showed up on Delilah’s lips. I don’t need to worry anymore, now that Lucius is with them.
“What is going on?” Joan murmured.
“Silly girl. Larry was the one who got the doctor to treat Lucius,” answered Delilah, gently tapping the young lady’s head.
Jealousy flashed past Dustin’s eyes upon hearing that. So my mentor only showed up because Larry asked him to treat Lucius? Dustin clenched his fists tightly.
