Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1935
Larry smirked, but said nothing.
“Shut up! What are you so scared of? He’s just the one man!” the leading thug shouted.
Then he glared at Larry.
“Larry!” Suddenly, Caspian arrived with a few dozen men.
That prompted the thug leader to take a few steps back. He had seen Caspian and knew how formidable he was.
“We must be mistaken. Sorry for disturbing you at this hour, Mr. Norton,” the man hastened to apologize.
“Are you going to keep looking?” Larry asked cordially.
“No, not anymore. It’s late already so we’ll be going.” The man waved it off and motioned for his entire crew to leave.
“Are you alright?” Caspian looked to Larry in concern.
The latter dismissed him and approached the doctor.
“Where is he?”
“Inside. I’ll go fetch him,” she said as she left the room.
“Mr. Norton!” Very soon, Lonnie reemerged.
Seeing that the man was in one piece, Larry finally felt relieved.
If the doctor had not dialed his number secretly with the phone hidden in her sleeve, Larry reckoned that it would have been a long night and the doctor herself might have lost her life.
“Thank you, Madam.” Larry went up and gave the woman a hug.
“Silly boy. It was the right thing to do.” She patted him reassuringly on the shoulder.
“Why has this happened, Caspian?” Larry suddenly turned to regard Caspian with severity.
“It’s all my fault!” the bodyguard replied with his head lowered in self-reproach.
“Don’t blame him. Maybe those people were already prepared for this,” Lonnie interjected.
Now that the clinic was compromised, Larry had Caspian arrange another hideout for Lonnie until the danger passed.
Ring, ring, ring…
