Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1643
“Leslie, oh my poor Leslie, how did you end up this sick? It breaks my heart to see you this way.”
Standing by the side, Finnick was equally heartbroken. Suddenly, he raised his voice at Joan. “What’s wrong with you? How can you take the child away just because you are angry with Larry? We know you are his mother and it’s not within our right to stop you. But, how can you not tell me and Vivian? This is unbecoming of you!”
Vivian added, “Ever since Leslie was born, both of us took good care of him and he was seldom sick. How did he end up like this as it has been less than two days since you took him away?”
Ever since she was married to Larry, his parents doted upon her. Hence, today was the first time they admonished her. With nothing to defend herself with, Joan could only listen in silence.
Vivian turned to Dustin, “Doctor, how is my grandson? Will he be alright?”
Dustin replied gently, “Don’t worry, the child is fine. The reason he recovered so quickly was that Ms. Watts watched over him throughout the night. If you are still worried, I can prescribe some harmless medication to help the child heal faster.”
“Alright, alright. Thank you doctor for your time. May I know how am I to address you? When I’m back later, I’ll definitely send you a reward,” Finnick replied.
“I’m Mr. Silverman. There’s no need for a reward as Ms. Watts is my friend. I’m just happy to be of help to her in times of trouble.”
Dustin then left with Leslie’s report in hand. Before he did, he gave Joan a look of encouragement. Only when Joan no longer hung her head in dejection did he leave with his mind put at ease.
Meanwhile, Larry was in the corridor asking repeatedly where Leslie’s ward was. As there was no time to wait for the elevator, he sprinted right up to the third floor and ran toward Leslie’s ward after receiving directions.
Coincidentally, Dustin was just leaving the room. Raising his gaze, his eyes met with Larry who was dashing over.
