Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2081
“Huh? Ms. Young isn’t back yet?” Joan turned to look at Larry.
“Goodness, it slipped my mind entirely. Hurry up and give her a call,” Larry urged at once.
Just after Joan had picked her cell phone up, a crash rang out the next moment. Perchance due to her anxiety, her cell phone slipped to the floor, and the screen cracked.
“What’s going on? What’s this sense of unease that I simply can’t shake off? It’s as though something bad is imminent,” she muttered.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. I’ll call her instead.” Larry made the call right away.
However, no one answered even after a long time had passed. Lucius then started panicking, and his eyes grew red.
“Mom, shall we go and have a look at the garden?” he suggested.
“Sure.” The three of them hurried over to the garden.
“Ms. Young?” Joan called out, but no reply came from around her.
“Grandma?” Lucius hollered at the top of his lungs.
What exactly is going on? The door is open, so why isn’t she here? A trace of fear manifested in Joan’s eyes. Don’t tell me something has happened to her?
“Grandma!” All of a sudden, Lucius started wailing. “Mom, Grandma is here! Come quickly!”
Upon hearing that, Larry and Joan instantly rushed over, only to be greeted by the sight of Delilah lying on the ground with her eyes closed.
There was a hint of blood at the corner of her mouth, and she was clutching a flower tightly in both hands.
“Ms. Young! Wake up, Ms. Young…” Joan shook her body forcefully.
“Calm down, Joan. We’re going straight to the hospital, so bring Lucius along! Hurry!” As Larry said that, he scooped Delilah up and strode toward the car.
Thank God, traffic was smooth throughout the drive to the hospital. In the car, Joan grasped Delilah’s petite hand tightly, her eyes shimmering with tears.
