Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1984
Sensing Dustin’s movements, Joan gradually opened her eyes.
“You’re awake. I’ll go get you some water.” She stood up.
Suddenly, Dustin grabbed her hand forcefully, not allowing her to leave.
“I’m not thirsty. So, don’t go.”
Joan could feel the compelling strength behind his words. As she gradually took her seat, she stared at him with a sympathetic expression.
“I’m really sorry about yesterday. Luckily, your injuries weren’t serious. Or else, I wouldn’t know how I’ll ever be able to face you again.” Joan gave him a guilty look.
However, he had hoped that something bad actually happened to him so that she would remember him for life.
“I’m fine, don’t worry. As long as I’m here, no one will dare harm you.” Dustin’s voice was raspy.
Joan looked at Dustin without saying a word. Larry is the man I love the most. However, Dustin is the one I’m supposed to treasure. He has changed a lot and is now more matured.
“How are things between you and Larry?” Dustin asked.
How else can it be? In the end, the only choice is divorce. She had made up her mind. Once they were divorced, Larry could move out of Ms. Young’s house and they would never see each other again.
“Joan, perhaps the matter isn’t what we imagine it to be. I used to detest the fact that both of you are together because of my feelings for you. But now, I feel that you will only be happy when you’re with him. There must be a misunderstanding,” Dustin replied softly.
He had long accepted that Joan only loved Larry, but he still held a grudge over the car accident previously.
Suddenly, a cold glint flashed in Joan’s eyes.
The truth was right in front of her in the form of Gabriella’s bulging stomach. How is that a misunderstanding?
“Let’s drop the topic. Don’t worry, the matter will be resolved soon. I know you are concerned about me. However, some things are beyond our control.”
