Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1955
“I just spotted her in a surveillance footage of the airport. But…” Caspian paused for a second.
“But she was with Dustin.”
I knew it! It’s that scumbag!
Larry’s gaze grew frigid at once. When is he going to stop clinging onto Joan? But why is she willing to go overseas with him?
After a small talk, Caspian left the office.
At night, a crescent moon and a few twinkling stars hung in the pitch-black sky. Staring out the window at a lighthouse nearby, Larry was deep in contemplation.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Glancing at his phone, the man answered the call immediately.
“Dad, when is Mom coming home? I miss her so much.” Lucius’ voice sounded weary.
“Your mom is busy these days. Don’t worry, Lucius. When she’s free, I’ll bring her to see you,” Larry comforted him.
Everyone misses her a lot. Why didn’t she call us?
Hanging up the phone, the man scrolled through the contact list in his phone, found Joan’s number, and called her.
“Hello?” She picked up the phone.
A gleam of hope flashed across Larry’s eyes.
“Joan, where are you?” the man murmured with much concern.
“I…” Joan’s voice trailed off.
Can I tell him that I’m abroad together with Dustin? Should I let him know that I came here to check on my brain? No, I can’t tell him.
“Larry, don’t worry, I’m fine. Perhaps I’ll be back after some time,” she said gradually.
She would rather be with Dustin than tell me what is going on.
A look of disappointment crossed on Larry’s face.
She’s my wife. Why does she hide things from me? We’ve been together for so long, but she still doesn’t trust me.
“Joan, Lucius and Ms. Young miss you,” he said slowly.
So what? The woman’s eyes glinted with a twinge of grief.
I can’t be with them anyway.
“Joan, have some fruits.” Suddenly, Dustin yelled beside her.
“What? I’m sorry. Something came up, so I have to hang up now.” With that, she hung up on him straight away.
That voice was Dustin’s!
Larry felt as if a knife stabbed into his heart, cutting it into pieces.
“Who were you talking to? You look sad just now,” Dustin asked gently. Putting a piece of apple into his mouth, he feigned ignorance.
In fact, from the moment Joan first spoke on the phone, he already guessed that it was Larry who called her. Therefore, he took the chance to sow discord between them.
Oh Larry, if you had believed in her, you wouldn’t have doubted her. Above all, you shouldn’t have abandoned her. I bet you’re busy handling your relationship with Gabriella now.
An impish smile broke across Dustin’s face.
“Why are you smiling?” The woman gave him a nudge.
“Huh? Nothing. Eat some fruits.” Handing a plate of sliced fruits to her, he stood up and walked away.
Looking at his departing back, Joan felt puzzled.
Is he’s happy because the lady took photos with him just now?
“Lucius, wake up!” Delilah shrieked desperately.
However, the boy on the bed didn’t move an inch.
“Hello, is this 911? I need an ambulance!”
In the hospital, Lucius was on a drip as he lay on the bed with his eyes closed. In the meantime, Delilah was sitting beside him with a troubled face.
“What happened?” Larry stormed into the ward.
“I don’t know. I just couldn’t wake him up this morning…” She choked back her tears.
“Ms. Young, don’t worry. Let me ask the doctor.” He quickly headed to the doctor’s office.
“The child is too young. After his last surgery, he was recovering well. However, he’s been feeling down lately, and that is detrimental to…”
