Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2013
“I’ll come back in a few days.” Then, the man pried her off.
Damn you, Larry. How can you be so concerned for that witch? You don’t even care about me!
“Ah!”
All of a sudden, Gabriella fell off the bed.
Everyone in the room froze.
Then, the woman moaned in agony as she held her stomach.
“What’s wrong with you? Your wife is already in pain. Where are you trying to go?”
“She’s right. That baby in her is yours. How can you abandon her so ruthlessly?”
“Is that man having an affair?”
That question causes an uproar in the room, and everyone started whispering to each other about the possibility of his affair.
Ignoring then, Larry hurriedly walked over to carry Gabriella back up on the bed before tucking her in.
“What are you trying to do?” He glared at her.
It had been a long while, and he finally knew what kind of woman she was. Everything was just part of her act.
Damn it. I never thought you’d be as vicious as this, Gabriella. I can’t believe you’d risk the life of that baby in you. Larry’s scowl deepened.
“What are you talking about, Lars? I only want you to accompany me for a little longer. I was trying to send you off earlier, but I didn’t think that… Ugh.” Gabriella suddenly grabbed her stomach and scrunched up her face.
Once again, the nurse walked over and commented, “You’re her husband; you shouldn’t do this. This is a crucial time of her pregnancy, so you should just heed her words.”
Who’s her husband? Larry shot a glare at the nurse.
“I’m not her husband,” he gritted out.
However, the surrounding people were not surprised at his reply.
Before coming to the hospital, Gabriella had already told them about the situation—if she managed to get Larry to become her husband, she would give them even more money. That was why those people were so dedicated to the act.
“If you’re not her husband, then why did you impregnate her? Now that she has a baby, you should bear the responsibility,” the nurse hissed.
At that moment, a sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the woman on the bed.
Larry, you’d never guess that these are all my people, would you? The smugness in Gabriella’s eyes grew.
Delilah was busying herself by tending to the garden. It seemed like she was in a good mood, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. It’s been some time since I’ve seen Joan and Lucius.
Ding, ding, ding.
Delilah hurriedly picked up her phone after briefly looking at it.
“What? Your mother’s hurt? When did that happen?” the woman questioned.
Lucius called her because he wanted to find out why Larry had yet to visit Joan.
It had been two days since he called Larry. As a child, he was naturally anxious about how his father had yet to visit his mother.
“You mean, you called your father, but he hasn’t come to visit yet?” Delilah suspiciously asked.
“Grandma, can you please find out what happened to Dad? Mom even calls for him in her sleep,” Lucius muttered, feeling distressed.
A few minutes of chatting later, Delilah ended the call and left the garden.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Young. Mr. Norton is currently not in his office,” the receptionist politely answered.
Where would he be? She frowned. Why is Larry dilly-dallying all of sudden? He used to prioritize Joan’s matters in the past. Why is he…
“When will he be back, then?” Delilah asked.
“Mrs. Young, is there something urgent? Is that why you’re looking for Mr. Norton? If my guess isn’t wrong, he should still be in the hospital,” the receptionist offered with a small smile.
Delilah was not a stranger, and that was why the receptionist was willing to tell her about Larry’s whereabouts.
Hearing the reply, the older woman instantly hailed a cab to head to the hospital.
Why is he in the hospital? Is he sick?
In the meantime, Larry was standing by the windowsill, staring out of the window with dull eyes. Behind him, Gabriella seemed carefree. That’s right. I’m stopping you from going overseas. I’m going to keep you here! The grin on her face grew wider.
