Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2015
Taking out his phone, the man then made a call.
Ding, ding, ding.
The phone on the table continued to ring. Joan was lying on the bed as she watched the scenery outside. She had not heard her phone at all.
“Mom, your phone is ringing!” Lucius informed her loudly.
“Oh. Turn it off. I’m tired, and I don’t feel like picking up the phone,” Joan murmured.
When Lucius glanced at the screen, he hesitated. In the end, he took the phone and went out of the room. Joan’s face was still turned toward the window, so she did not notice Lucius’ action.
“Hello? Dad, when are you going to come? Even Grandma came,” the boy hastily asked.
“Listen to me, Lucius. Dad has a lot of things to do recently, but I’ll be able to come to you by today. Is your mother fine? How is she now? Did she eat regularly?” Larry worriedly inquired.
“Don’t worry, Dad. Mom’s awake and fine. She’s just a little tired,” Lucius explained.
Meanwhile, Joan, who was still in the ward, was tearing up.
Even Delilah’s here, but Larry isn’t. It looks like he really doesn’t want me anymore. She balled her hands into fists as she hung her head.
We used to be so close and sweet with each other. Why did things turn out this way? Melancholy flickered across her eyes.
“Dad, I think you’ve crossed the line. Mom’s already in the hospital for days, but there aren’t any signs of you. When she sleeps, she calls for you. Mom really misses you,” Lucius quietly said.
Instantly, upset swarmed into Larry’s heart.
I miss her too. From the moment she left the country until now. I dream of her every night I sleep. But whenever I think of how she’s with Dustin, and whenever I think of the poster they took together, I feel miserable.
“I understand. I have a morning flight, so I’ll be able to reach your place in the afternoon. Don’t worry, Lucius. Do take care of Mom, okay?”
After a brief while of chatting, they then hung up the call.
Meanwhile, Delilah had been standing in the corner, listening to the boy’s call. She could only sigh. After collecting herself, she then stepped into the ward.
It had been days, but not once did Joan mention Larry’s name. Similarly, Delilah herself dared not mention him.
I’ll leave the matter of the marriage to them. After all, I should let the young couple solve the problem themselves.
“Grandma, what’s the matter? Are you tired? I keep hearing you sigh recently,” Lucius wondered.
I am tired. Joan’s hospitalized, but Larry is nowhere to be found. How can I not feel worried? In fact, Delilah was sorrowful.
“Mom, Dad will be here soon,” the boy abruptly voiced.
At that very moment, Joan’s eyes lit up.
“Lucius, when did you call him? Dad’s busy, so you shouldn’t be calling him,” Joan gravely uttered.
“Mom, what’s the matter? You used to hope that Dad would be by your side when you were sick,” the boy muttered curiously.
That was back then. It’s different now.
It’s nearly the end of our marriage, but what can I do about it? At the end of the day, the baby in Gabriella’s stomach is his. That’s a fact. If we can continue to live as we used to, why would I ever choose to divorce him?
In the afternoon on the fifteenth of September, Larry arrived.
“Joan, how are you? Are you okay? Are you hurt?” Larry anxiously touched her head.
Joan only sneered in response. Why is he here? Is he here to watch me make a fool of myself?
“Why are you here? Don’t you have someone who needs you more back in the country?” Joan hissed.
He’s only here after days. That means Gabriella must have been in the way. Gabriella was a woman who was vicious and cruel. As long as she wanted to get something, she would do anything to get it.
