Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2802

She Is Alive

Looking glum, Jessica exited the office slowly.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Larry walked to the window, lit up a cigarette, and began

smoking.

Don't you worry, Joan, I'll take good care of Ms. Young and Lucius. He raised his head and looked at

the sky as if he was searching for an answer.

“Let's grab a meal together, Larry,” Della asked in a seductive tone.

Ignoring her, Larry walked across to his desk and continued reading documents while a cold look

flashed across his eyes.

How dare he ignore me! Della adjusted her posture and quickened her steps to get near him. She

then breathed into his ear, but her action annoyed Larry.

“Get lost!" he scowled and barked fiercely. Embarrassed, Della froze.

“Um... You haven't eaten, have you? I thought we could eat together,” she recollected herself and

said seriously.

Larry remained quiet and hostile as if he did not hear a thing she said. Moments later, the anxious

Della patted his back and repeated her invitation.

“You go ahead and leave me alone,” he shrugged and said contemptuously.

Della’s heart sank upon hearing his blatant and heartless rejection. She wanted to say something

but faltered. In the end, she left the room without saying a word.

In less than half an hour, Della returned to Larry's office with some takeout. “Here you go.”

She could not stand him not taking his meals on time.

Larry did not give her any response. Della’s heart wrenched as she sat on the sofa and stared at him

the whole time. She had liked him for so long, but she still could not earn a place in his heart even

after Joan's death. She felt so miserably at the thought of it.

"Why are you still here?” Larry threw her a question while concentrating on the computer screen.

Della regained her senses and smiled. He actually notices that I'm still here. “I just want to

accompany you for a little while more.”

She just wanted to stay by his side, regardless if he despised her.

Meanwhile, at Jake's office, Ted proclaimed softly, “I've found her, Mr. Wilson.”

Jake jumped up from the sofa in a flash. Is Joan still alive? His heart skipped a beat.

"Where's she? Where did she go?” he asked impatiently.

"She's staying with a family by the sea,” Ted replied.

“Let's go!” In a jiffy, Jake stood up, grabbed his jacket, and headed out.

Joan, you survived! A smug smile appeared on his face.

He had heard about Joan's fall into the sea but no one could locate her body. Thus, Ted had been

helping him search for her even though he initially thought that the probability of finding Joan was

very low. Eventually, his persistence bore fruit.

Soon, the car pulled over by the beach. Jake walked toward the identified family. He did not expose

himself but monitored them from a hidden corner.

“Joan, come over and help me tidy up the nets!” An old woman shouted not too far away.

“Sure!”

That's Joan's voice, I can't have mistaken it! Jake was thrilled. He tried to calm himself down and

hide his gleeful expression.

From afar, he could see that Joan and the old woman were busy working. They seemed happy.

As long as she’s happy... It warmed his heart to see her smile. Subconsciously, his lips curled up too.

Ted was observing Jake's reaction and was astonished to catch him smiling affectionately as he

looked at Joan. Doesn't Mr. Wilson always dislike Joan?
