Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1958
Dustin was overcome with embarrassment.
How dare this brat humiliate me this way! The man clenched his hands firmly as his gaze grew icy.
“I have to visit Lucius, no matter how busy I am,” he murmured.
Hmph! Who cares about him if it isn’t for Joan?
“Joan, you’re finally back.” Delilah strode into the ward with a worried look.
“Ms. Young.” Joan stood up and pulled Delilah into her embrace.
In the meantime, Dustin glanced around the ward and felt curious. This is odd. Where is Larry? Isn’t that jerk supposed to stay at the hospital and take care of Lucius?
“Joan, we were so worried. Do you know how long has Larry looked for you? He suffers from insomnia for a period of time…” Delilah babbled on.
Standing beside them, Dustin pursed his lips in disdain.
Why does he still mess around with other woman then? His gaze turned scornful.
Is he hiding because he can’t bring himself to face Joan?
The corner of his lips curved into a mischievous smile. I can’t wait to see how Larry is going to explain to her about the things that happened between him with Gabriella.
In the office, Larry was flipping through a magazine with a solemn look.
Ring! Ring!
“Hello, Larry. Joan is back,” Caspian mumbled.
In an instant, the pen in Larry’s hand dropped on the desk.
“She’s still at the hospital. You…”
“No need. I’ll be there after work.” The man hung up right after speaking.
Caspian stared at the phone, confused yet curious. Doesn’t he yearn for Joan’s return?
Standing up, Larry strolled toward the window and glanced at the sea far away. Uneasiness and trepidation welled up in his heart. I have yet to settle the things between me and Gabriella. What will Joan think if she gets to know about it? Distress was written all over his face.
When she was not around, he couldn’t stop thinking about her. Now that she was back, he felt fearful.
