Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2107Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2107
Based on the situation now, the possibility of a successful deal has increased. Larry smiled in
satisfaction and walked out of the meeting room.
“Mr. Norton, is everything settled?” his assistant asked, trailing behind him.
“Yes. Book the tickets immediately and go back as soon as possible,” Larry ordered.
In response, the assistant gazed at him with admiration and took out her tablet to book their tickets.
It had been a few days since Larry had last seen Joan, Lucius, and Delilah. I wonder how they are
doing? And how did the field trip go? At that thought, he dialed Joan’s number.
Meanwhile, Joan was cooking in the kitchen, so she did not hear her phone ringing in the living room.
As for Delilah, she was sitting on her bed, reading a floriculture magazine attentively. Therefore, no one
heard Larry’s call.
Then, a nurse came into her room and smiled. “Hi, Ms. Young. How are you?”
“I’m feeling fine. I would like to know when the surgery would be conducted?” Delilah whispered,
looking at Joan, who was still busy in the kitchen.
“The doctor said it’d be on next Wednesday. It’s time for you to make preparation, Ms. Young. But rest
noveldramaassured, this time, the surgery will be performed by a renowned surgeon invited by Dr. Silverman. He is
specially invited from abroad to handle your surgery.”
Unbeknown to Delilah, Joan overheard their conversation, but she pretended to be busy preparing their
meal.“It smells so good, Joan. Your cooking is awesome. Ms. Young, I’m so happy for you. Besides the
delicious food, you also have a VIP room in our hospital, which basically looks like a presidential suite.”
“You always have a kind word to say. Thank you.” Ms. Young smiled.
The next day, Larry returned to the village. As soon as he entered the house, Lucius threw himself into
his arms and pouted. “Dad, you’re finally back! I miss you so much. Where have you been? Mom and I
really miss you.”
“Lucius, it’s all my fault. Something came up on that day, so I had to go abroad to settle the issue.
Besides, my phone was off at that time, so I didn’t receive any calls. I’m sorry I couldn’t make it to your
field trip,” Larry apologized, a trace of guilt gleaming in his eyes.
“It’s okay, as long as you’re back safely.” Lucius hugged him tightly.
“Where is mommy?”
“She’s still at the hospital, taking care of Grandma. Grandma will have surgery soon,” Lucius said
worriedly.
Larry held Lucius’s hand and kissed him on the forehead. “Lucius, stay at home, okay? I’ll go to the
hospital for a while.”
“Okay.”
Then, Larry went out of Delilah’s house and drove to the hospital.
The hospital was busy as usual. Most of the people here had an anxious expression on their face.
“Hi, Mr. Norton.”
“Mr. Norton, you’re back.”As he walked into the ward, several nurses greeted him, mesmerized by his good looks once again.
Larry smiled politely in response and entered Delilah’s room, only to find that there was only Delilah in
the room.
Where is Joan? He looked around, but she was nowhere to be found.
Hearing him entering the room, Delilah opened her eyes and said sarcastically, “Oh, here you are. I
thought you’d never come back again.”
It has been a few days since he left. Needless to say, Delilah knew that he had missed the camp and
went abroad. Even if Joan wanted to hide it from her, she could easily guess from Lucius’s expression
that something was off.
Larry smiled awkwardly. “Hi, Ms. Young. How are you feeling?”
“You brat! Where have you been for the last few days? You missed the field trip and even went missing
after that, not even bothered to answer any of their calls. You’ve made Joan and Lucius worried sick!”
Delilah rebuked.
She was rather angry with him at the moment. I once thought that he was a good guy who was always
considerate and competent, so I had thought of leaving Lucius in his hands later on. But how can I
believe him again after seeing him being so imprudent?
“Ms. Young, that day, I had an urgent matter to attend to, and my phone was off because it had run out
of battery. Please believe me, Ms. Young. You know what kind of a person I am. The project is
extremely important to my company. If we lose the project, we would be losing hundreds of millions of
profit,” he explained frantically.
