Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2205Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2205
Delilah hesitated momentarily before agreeing to Larry’s suggestion.
Joan came in right then. “Ms. Young, the doctor said you can leave at any time, but you can’t exert
yourself anymore.”
“I know my health condition. You’re just being too paranoid.” Delilah chuckled.
There was no way Joan would not worry. After all, Delilah had been operated on, and she was no
longer young. Not to mention, she still had to tend to her garden and refused to stop working. I need to
persuade her to rest, Joan decided.
After that, both Larry and Joan felt a growing sense of awkwardness. They realized they didn’t speak
much to each other.
“Ms. Young, I need to return to my company.” With a nod, Larry excused himself.
“Hey, will you come home tonight?” Delilah queried.
Larry replied, “I’m not sure. It depends.”
“I’ll ask Joan to deliver lunch to you, alright?”
“No need, I’m not hungry. And I’ll be busy during dinner, too.” He stalked out right after saying that.
“Hey, Um, I think I should still prepare lunch for you. You didn’t eat anything this morning, right?” asked
Joan carefully after following him out the ward.
She remember that? Then why did she forget to explain what happened previously? Larry snorted.All I want is her explanation, but she refused to say anything.
“No need. I’m not hungry.” After saying that, Larry left without a backward glance.
Why is he acting so cruel and snobby? I’m prepared to give him an explanation, but he keeps
tormenting me.
Forget it. I’ll explain to him later.
“What’s wrong? Have you explained things to him? Do you need my help?” Dustin walked out of the
ward and asked.
“Huh? It’s fine. I can explain to him myself,” Joan replied.
If Dustin came between her and Larry, things would get really complicated.
“Alright. I’ll head back to the supermarket now. I’ll be back this afternoon to pick you guys up.”
With that, only Joan and Delilah were left in the ward. They were engrossed in their own thoughts as
sadness flitted across their faces.
Suddenly, Delilah blurted out. “Joan, why did you choose to torture yourself?”
Huh? That’s a weird question. Joan looked up, utterly perplexed.
“If I were you, I would have cut ties with other men who obviously harbored feelings for me. You don’t
want this to end up in a mess, do you?” Delilah reminded her.
She’s right. But Larry’s doing the same thing. He’s also involved with that Jessica Zimmer. I mean,
there’s no way there’s absolutely nothing between them, right?“Hurry, call Larry now. Are you seriously gonna waste time not talking to each other?” Delilah grew
increasingly irritated.
Why would I call him? He should call me, right? Joan was reluctant.
noveldramaI know I was wrong to drink with Dustin. I didn’t explain to him in time, but he did the same! Did he
explain his relationship with Jessica? No!
“No, I won’t. I’m tired. I’m going to take a nap.” Joan stalked away.
My, my, why is she so stubborn? Larry’s handsome and accomplished. Isn’t she afraid other women
would take him away from her?
“What’s wrong with you? It won’t hurt to call him,” Delilah tried convincing Joan.
Alas, Joan refused to give in. She thought that Larry shouldn’t be so petty, being a man and all. At the
thought of Larry and Jessica, fury rose in her heart.
She had seen Jessica in Larry’s office more than once. The woman would always bring along snacks
or breakfast for him. Those who didn’t know that Larry’s wife was Joan would think that Jessica was his
wife instead.
