Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1869

Chapter 1869 Her Boyfriend

Larry had not recovered from his shock. He simply stood rooted to his spot gawping at her.

“Hello? Can you hear me?” Selena waved her hand in front of his face.

“Joan!” Larry cried tearfully. In a flash, he hugged her tightly as tears flowed freely down his cheeks.

Selena was startled. She admitted that the man before her was very handsome, but she was not a loose woman. With all her might, she pushed Larry away from her, glaring fiercely at him as she did so.

“Hey, watch yourself! Are you going to give the flowers to me or not?” Selena pointed at the pot in his hands.

“Joan, you’re hurt!” Larry exclaimed as he pointed to her knee which was bleeding profusely.

Joan?

Something clicked in Selena’s mind. He must have mistaken me for somebody else!

“It’s none of your business,” she said impatiently. “Just tell me if you’re going to give…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Larry swept her up in his arms.

Selena was dumbfounded. She was painfully aware of her own racing heartbeat and increasingly shallow breathing. Her head was pressed against his chest. What a strong heartbeat he has…

“You’re hurt. Let me take you back. Don’t worry, I’ll give you the flowers,” Larry said gently.

For reasons unbeknownst to her, Selena felt an overwhelming sense of peace being in his arms and listening to his voice.

“Mr. Norton, please put me down. I’m fine,” Selena said with an embarrassed blush.

The villagers were a conservative lot. If somebody saw them, they would misunderstand.

“Where’s the hospital?” Larry asked as he gazed tenderly at the woman in his arms.

Selena’s mind went blank at his question.

This is but a small village. What kind of hospital would we have?

“We do not have a hospital here, only a clinic,” Selena replied softly, not daring to meet his eyes.

Larry’s gaze was piercing, and it made her feel like he could see right through to her heart.
