Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1942

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1942

"Hey! Dustin!"

Thud! A nurse who walked past Jory was taken aback when the man smashed the phone on the

floor in exasperation.

Damn it! Jory gritted and punched the wall with his clenched fist.

Between his wife and buddy, he had ended up opting for the latter again, and just like the previous

time, there was a price to pay for his option. Gosh! Dustin, you'd better pray nothing happens to

Nancy!

“Doctor, how's my wife's current condition?” he asked apprehensively, grabbing hold of the doctor's

arm tightly.

“Her emotions are still not very stable at the moment. If this condition persists, it might lead to

miscarriage. Thus, you'd better try to console and calm her down,” the doctor advised him patiently

before he headed toward the ward.

“Joan, you're not planning to give Larry a call?” Dustin looked at the woman in front of him with his

eyes full of doubt.

Joan hesitated. Should I call him?

"I think you'd better give him a call. They've all gotten into a bunch of nerves looking for you. If I'm

not mistaken, Nancy passed out due to extreme anxiety while in search of you. She's currently

pregnant, isn't she?” Dustin stole a glance at her and added deliberately.

At that reminder, Joan's eyes widened in an instant. Oh, no! Please don't let anything happen to

Nancy!

"How's she now?” she asked anxiously.

“I heard from Jory that she's in the hospital at the moment...” Dustin lowered his voice as he replied

tactfully.

Nancy will be considered the last person who saw me since the both of us were having a meal

together at that time. In this case, Larry will surely blame her. Poor Nancy! She must be feeling really

guilty and upset now! In a split second, Joan's eyes darkened, her heart filling up with complex

emotions. I guess I'd better give Larry a call so he won't misunderstand Nancy.

When Larry's phone buzzed, he reached to take it out immediately. He caught a glimpse of the

caller's name blinking on the screen and answered the call at once.

“Joan, where are you now?" he asked nervously, trying to keep the quiver out of his voice.

Mustering up her courage, Joan tried to speak up for Nancy. “Larry, I'm fine. It's nothing serious, but

I just can't go back yet. It has nothing to do with Nancy. Don't blame her for anything...”

This silly woman! Why can't she answer my question directly?

“Joan Watts!" Larry raised his voice and cut her off impatiently.

In an instant, the woman on the other side of the line fell silent.

"Joan, where are you now? Please tell me!” Larry repeated his question, trying hard to appease his

frustration.

He had never been a patient man, yet he had been treating her with utter patience all this while.

“Larry, can you please just give me some time? If possible, I will go back a few days later,” Joan

requested warily.

If possible? What does she mean? Taking a deep breath, Larry tried to cool his head off.

“Joan, what's the matter with you? Is anything troubling you at the moment? Don’t worry about it...

You can pour out everything to me. I love you so much! No matter what, I'll be by your side forever

and overcome whatever obstacles that you're facing together with you,” he pleaded, trying to coax

the woman by lowering his voice.

Joan was so touched by his genuine words that tears started to well up in her eyes.

She loved him very much too, yet she could not resist doubting whether she still had the chance to

spend the rest of her life with him.

“Larry, no matter what, bear in mind that I loved you in this lifetime!” Joan ended the call at that.

Larry was dumbfounded and at a loss for words. What on earth was she talking about? She sounded

weird... It was as if she was emphasizing something. She's loved me before? Wait a minute! Was she

hinting that she has fallen for another man? No way! I can't accept that! I won't!

Thud! He threw his phone out of the door, venting his anger.

“Larry!” Caspian, who was outside the door, cried out, startled. When he saw Larry's grim face, a

feeling of intimidation crept up to him. The temperature around the man had dropped significantly

as well.

“Larry, we couldn't manage to locate Joan's whereabouts,” Caspian lowered his head and said

timidly.

"Don’t waste any more time looking for her anymore!” Larry bellowed as he slammed his fist onto

the table, a glint of ferocity in his eyes.

Caspian shuddered and moved backward instinctively. He had never seen Larry as hot-tempered as

how he was at the moment. My goodness! He looks exactly like an erupting volcano!

In the meantime, Nancy's phone buzzed. Her heart leaped with joy the moment she saw the name

blinking on the screen.

“Joan, where did you go? I really had a scare! I thought something terrible had befallen you!” Nancy

burst into tears of relief.

“Nancy, calm down. I've already called Larry and explained everything to him. I'm fine, so neither of

you should worry so much. Don't strain yourself now since you're pregnant. You must take care of

yourself and your baby...” Joan advised sincerely.

Upon hearing those words, an inexplicable sorrow started to well up in Nancy's heart.

“Joan, have you encountered anything dangerous? What's the matter with you? No matter what

happens, remember you're not alone. We're with you all the time and will overcome any hardships

together with you...” Nancy asked with great concern as she wiped her tears away.

Somehow, her instinct told her that Joan seemed weird. The woman seemed to be keeping mum

about something and acting as if they would not have the opportunity to meet each other again.

“I'm fine. Don't worry. I just need to settle some personal matters these few days. I'll inform you

about everything once the matters are resolved.” Joan pressed her lips together to form a tight

smile and tried to sound casual.

If I don’t manage to resolve the matters, I'll make myself disappear. I won't appear in front of you

anymore! Nancy, I'm sorry I can't tell you everything now.

When she was on the brink of tears, Joan sniffled, trying to hold the tears back.

The moment Nancy's ear caught that faint sound, she was momentarily stunned. Sensing that Joan

seemed to be trying to hold back her tears, the woman's heart flinched.
