Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1677
In a familiar corridor in front of the ER, Finnick wrapped his arm around Vivian’s shoulder, comforting her in a gentle tone. Beside the couple on a bench, there was a conspicuous, towering figure with his back facing her.
“Larry?”
Her voice was soft, yet he heard it. Just like a slow-motion scene in the movie, the man turned around and looked at the misty-eyed woman. The sorrow and grievance in her heart were replaced by excitement the moment she saw him.
Larry smiled warmly at her. How can he still smile in such a situation? Is he really Leslie’s biological father? As the woman was finding fault with him, she blamed herself too. Hold on. How can I be in the mood to find fault with him at a time like this?
The two stood rooted to their spots, staring at each other. None of them took the initiative to walk closer to the other person. At the moment, time seemed to have stood still, and both their watches and the clock on the wall stopped ticking. They could see no one else other than each other.
A doctor in a white cot came out of the ER while taking off his mask.
“Who is the family of Leslie?”
“It’s me!” Joan and Larry answered in unison.
They glanced at one another before Larry stepped forward to sign the document.
“The child is suffering from acute gastroenteritis. But don’t worry, this illness is rather common among children. It can be caused by the child’s eating habits, the amount of nutrients he received when he was in his mother’s womb, and genetic inheritance. Once it’s been triggered, it’s impossible for the child to be completely healed of this illness. However, it’ll be under control as long as you pay attention to his diet and take good care of him.”
