Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2020

“Mom, can you really play games with me? Have you recovered? I’m scared that you’ll be tired,” Lucius quietly muttered.

His words moved her. He’s such a sensible boy. It doesn’t matter if I get tired. For him, I’m willing to.

“Oh my dear flowers, this must be a tough day for you,” Delilah muttered under her breath when she reached the garden.

She had forgotten to move some of her plants into the room, so those were all soaked by now. Thus, Delilah quickly got to work. As she was too busy, she did not remember that her door was still unlocked.

Bang!

What’s that noise? Delilah wondered. However, she saw no one around when she raised her head.

That’s strange. I clearly heard something earlier. Could it be Joan?

“Joan?” Delilah called out.

Silence.

Forget it. I must have been hallucinating just now. Delilah returned to her work.

“Ah!” All of a sudden, a figure darted past her and punched the back of her head. Delilah passed out.

“Mom, why isn’t Grandma back yet? She’s usually back by now,” Lucius mumbled.

He’s right. She only went to the garden to move some pots. She wouldn’t need such a long time. Joan furrowed her brows. Could something have happened to her when she was on the way there? Worry overtaking her mind, she quickly took out her phone and called Delilah.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable.”

What’s going on? Why can’t I get through to her? Where did she go? Joan’s frown deepened.

Ding, ding, ding.

When Dustin saw the name on the screen, he was excited.

“Hello, Joan. What’s up?” he eagerly asked.
