Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2014

"Hello, is there a patient named Larry Norton here?” Delilah asked.

“No, but we do have a man named Larry Norton who's a family member of a patient here,” the

nurse answered.

A sense of dread came upon Delilah when she heard the nurse's words.

Ding, ding, ding.

Larry picked up the call.

“Ms. Young.”

The two words caught Gabriella’s attention.

“Where are you now?” came Delilah’s question.

“I...” Larry hesitated.

"Come outside. I have something to talk to you about.” With that said, she ended the call.

At the start, she thought the receptionist’s words had been untrue. However, the moment she

entered the hospital and asked the nurse about his whereabouts, she realized the receptionist had

been speaking the truth.

“Larry, do you know where Joan is at and what's she doing right now?" Delilah fixed her cold gaze at

him.

Of course, Larry knew, but there was nothing he could do about it. What if something actually

happens to Gabriella when I leave? She's already in such a terrible state.

“Ms. Young, don't be anxious. After these two days, I'll definitely go overseas and visit Joan,” Larry

explained.

However, Delilah only walked closer to the man, her eyes filled with disdain for him. That was the

first time she was disgusted with a man, and that was the first time she felt as apathetic toward

Larry.

"What are you doing here? Keeping Gabriella company?” Delilah gritted out.

She could not figure out what this man was thinking about. Joan was his wife, yet the one he was

concerned about was another woman.

After a long silence, Delilah sighed and walked away.

Staring at her retreating figure, Larry's eyes dulled.

“Lars!” Gabriella suddenly shouted.

She knew who had come to look for him, and she was not surprised about that woman's arrival.

Dear Joan, you'll never win, Gabriella thought as a cruel look entered her eyes.

“Doctor, how is she? When will she be able to leave the hospital?” Larry asked

“Ms. Ward still needs some time to recuperate, so she might need to stay in the hospital for a while

longer,” the doctor said. Then, she added, “She's pregnant, so she should stay happy. Otherwise, it

might affect the baby in her.”

Ugh! Why does she have so many problems? The man gritted his teeth.

"Gabriella, I still have some matters to attend to, so I'm going to leave now. Take care of yourself.” At

that, Larry turned to leave.

"What are you going to do, Lars?" She looked at him with woeful eyes.

What else am I going to do? I haven't visited Joan even though something major happened to her.

Instead, I'm here, accompanying you.

“There are some things I have to attend to in the company,” the man responded.

Just work? Gabriella was suspicious of his answer. However, it was true that he had not gone to the

office for days.

“Larry, then when are you going to come back?” Gabriella queried as she fluttered her lashes.

Why should I come back? Should I come back to look at your ugly face? If not for you threatening

me with death, why would I even be here? I must have committed some heinous act in my previous

life to have met someone like her in this.

“It depends. There are quite a lot of things I have to deal with in the office,” Larry drawled.

What project can be so important to him? Gabriella blinked, and a thought entered her mind.

Taking out her phone, she then sent out a text. The reply she had gotten affirmed Larry's words—

the Norton Corporation had been busy lately, and there was no one around to manage the

company.

"All right, then. Lars, after you're done with your work, you have to come back here, okay?” Gabriella

crooned.

However, that only served to disgust Larry even more.

I have to find out who's the father of that child. I can't possibly be the scapegoat of this incident.

The only one I'll ever love is Joan.
