Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2015

Taking out his phone, the man then made a call.

Ding, ding, ding.

The phone on the table continued to ring. Joan was lying on the bed as she watched the scenery outside. She had not heard her phone at all.

“Mom, your phone is ringing!” Lucius informed her loudly.

“Oh. Turn it off. I’m tired, and I don’t feel like picking up the phone,” Joan murmured.

When Lucius glanced at the screen, he hesitated. In the end, he took the phone and went out of the room. Joan’s face was still turned toward the window, so she did not notice Lucius’ action.

“Hello? Dad, when are you going to come? Even Grandma came,” the boy hastily asked.

“Listen to me, Lucius. Dad has a lot of things to do recently, but I’ll be able to come to you by today. Is your mother fine? How is she now? Did she eat regularly?” Larry worriedly inquired.

“Don’t worry, Dad. Mom’s awake and fine. She’s just a little tired,” Lucius explained.

Meanwhile, Joan, who was still in the ward, was tearing up.

Even Delilah’s here, but Larry isn’t. It looks like he really doesn’t want me anymore. She balled her hands into fists as she hung her head.

We used to be so close and sweet with each other. Why did things turn out this way? Melancholy flickered across her eyes.

“Dad, I think you’ve crossed the line. Mom’s already in the hospital for days, but there aren’t any signs of you. When she sleeps, she calls for you. Mom really misses you,” Lucius quietly said.

Instantly, upset swarmed into Larry’s heart.

I miss her too. From the moment she left the country until now. I dream of her every night I sleep. But whenever I think of how she’s with Dustin, and whenever I think of the poster they took together, I feel miserable.

“I understand. I have a morning flight, so I’ll be able to reach your place in the afternoon. Don’t worry, Lucius. Do take care of Mom, okay?”
