A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1967

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1967

Joan didn’t return home, nor did she go to the garden after dropping her boy at school. She wanted to be alone to collect her thoughts on whether she should end her marriage.

It seems extremely unlikely for our marriage to continue like before.

Disappointment crept into her bleak eyes.

“Oh my goodness, Joan! When did you get back?”

“Yeah, it’s been so long! We’ve missed you!” Suddenly, a group of women swarmed towards her.

It turned out to be her colleagues from the supermarket.

“Why aren’t you guys at work? Are you slacking off again?” Joan recomposed herself and put a smile to joke with them.

“What do you mean, slacking off? We’re going to visit Freya today. Do you want to come along?”

That’s right! Isn’t she still hospitalized?

“Count me in,” Joan responded eagerly.

It really had been a while since they last met, so they chatted and giggled as they made their way to the hospital.

“Oh, right, how are you and Mr. Norton? You’re literally so lucky for nabbing a rich hunk like him!”

“Yeah, he never once gave up on finding you even though you went messing for that long…”

Embarrassment was evident on Joan’s face as she gave them a thin-lipped smile.

We might break up soon.

“That’s enough.” Joan chuckled to brush off the topic. “Come on, how is my love life related to us visiting Freya? If you guys ask another question about my life again, I’m gonna apply to go back to work and annoy all of you every single day!”

“That would be great! You have no idea how much we miss your presence!”

They all guffawed at the idea of that.

A metallic tang of antiseptic filled the hospital’s air whilst the corridors were overly crowded with patients. Doctors and nurses were constantly buzzing in and out of wards, as well as operating rooms. With the seasons changing, more people were feeling under the weather.

“How is she doing, doctor? Is she getting better?” Joan asked worriedly as she looked at Freya.

The doctor stayed silent. He sighed and shook his head before leaving.
