Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1981
“Larry has a fever. Do you want to come home and care for him?”
Fever? He never learns how to take good care of himself! For a fleeting moment, Joan’s eyes were filled with sadness.
However, she was in a dilemma when she saw the woman in front of her.
“We’ll talk again when I’m back. For now, I have something to attend to. Bye.” Joan ended the call.
Meanwhile, Gabriella’s phone never rang. Perhaps, no one in this world really cares for me.
How ironic! My family disowned me because of the incident with Larry. After leaving the family for so long, I’ve not made any significant success… Now that I am pregnant, yet the child isn’t even Larry’s!
“Do you have anything else? I need to go home.” Joan sipped her coffee.
She was puzzled as to why Gabriella was holding her up for such a long time. No matter what her agenda was, Joan was certain it wasn’t good.
“Joan, after so long, don’t you ever feel the least bit remorseful?” Gabriella glared at her.
Joan was dumbfounded.
What did I do wrong? Why should I be remorseful? If there was anyone who should be apologizing, that’s you!
“I’m not the one in the wrong. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.” Just as she spoke, Joan stood up to leave.
“Joan, if you dare leave without my permission, you will regret it,” Gabriella asserted coldly before taking a sip of coffee.
Despite pausing for a few seconds, Joan continued her way out.
The moment she arrived at the door, danger approached.
It appeared that Gabriella was stalling for time until her henchmen arrived. They were occupied earlier and could only come when night fell.
