Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1478
Joan did not give any chance for Larry to contact her. Even her phone was switched off.
The young man that the old lady mentioned must be Dustin.
But, where could they have gone? Larry racked his brains but nothing came up.
After he got into his car, Larry dialed another number urgently.
“Caspian, find out where Joan’s parents live! Be quick!”
Larry barked his order into the phone anxiously.
“Yes, sir. I’ll get to it immediately.”
Caspian replied swiftly before hanging up.
Larry could only wait in his car apprehensively.
After ten excruciating minutes, Larry received an address on his phone.
He read the address and stepped on the gas, heading straight for Zaprington.
He drove like a madman all the way. In a little over an hour, he was at the doorstep of where Joan’s parents lived.
“Mr. Watts, I’m Larry! May I know where Joan is?” asked Larry.
Joan had mentioned Larry’s name while talking to her parents previously. As such, Mr. Watts recognized that his name was familiar and didn’t think much about it.
“Young lad, didn’t Joan tell you that she was going to A Nation today?” Mr. Watts asked in a friendly tone.
“A Nation? Why is she going there?”
Larry felt as if he was hit by a bolt of lightning. If Joan went to A Nation, would I still have any chance of finding her?
“It’s not in my place to tell you why. But I can tell you that her flight is scheduled for three in the afternoon. I don’t think you can make it in time to see her.”
Lifting his wrist to glance at his watch, Larry’s stomach dropped when he noticed that it was almost half-past two.
“Mr. Watts, can you please give me Joan’s number?”
He was frantic. He couldn’t let Joan leave. I’m not letting her go! I need to be with her for the rest of my life!
After getting her current phone number, Larry hastily bade goodbye to Mr. Watts and started rushing over to Zaprington airport.
Joan, please wait for me!
