A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2083

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2083

The sky was blue, and clouds drifted along with the gentle breeze. Amidst the serene surroundings, flowers vied with each other in terms of beauty. On the whole, everything seemed to be thriving.

Ah, it’s so good to be alive! Delilah heaved a sigh. Alas, I don’t have much time left.

“Ms. Young.” Joan slowly walked over to her front with a solemn expression. “Why don’t you accept treatment? Just an operation will do,” she pleaded in a quivering voice.

Huh? How did she know about that? Delilah stared at her dubiously as mystification bubbled within her.

“What are you talking about, Joan? Look, those flowers are really blooming nicely.” Delilah deliberately changed the subject.

“Don’t keep me in the dark anymore, Ms. Young. Both Larry and I know about your condition. We’ll stay by your side until you’re healthy again, so please accept treatment. I beg you.” Joan grasped her hands tightly as her eyes stung.

I can’t lose her! She saved me, and she’s also Lucius’ grandmother!

“You know what, Joan? It’s not that I don’t want to accept treatment. It’s just that I’m already old, so there’s no need for that. Besides, I’ve already donated the money.”

“It’s okay, for money isn’t a problem to us. As long as you’re willing to accept treatment, we’ll immediately arrange for an operation. Ms. Young, Lucius is still young, so he can’t lose you.” Joan stared at her earnestly.

That’s right! Lucius is still young! But what can I do? There’s no more time left for me, so I won’t be able to see him attend college, get married, and have children. I won’t be able to hang on until then.

“Please, Ms. Young, I beg you to accept treatment. Lucius and I need you. In fact, everyone in the village needs you!”

That remark of hers had Delilah wavering slightly.

She had been living in that village for decades, so she was naturally reluctant to leave it.

“Don’t bother. There’s no cure for my illness. It’ll be better to donate the money to those impoverished children in the village who can’t afford to attend school.” She shook her head in resignation.
