Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2086
“Uhh… Do you have time today? We haven’t seen each other for so long. How about we grab a bite together?” Flora suggested bashfully, keeping her head low.
“I’m busy today. I have to see Ms. Young.”
Flora instantly felt hollow upon being rejected so straightforwardly.
What the hell is with him? Forget it. I’m done.
“Sure. Go on now. I have work to do.” Flora shoved Dustin right out of her office.
Arghhhh! He pisses me off! The woman stomped her feet in frustration while staring at the lighthouse outside the window.
Meanwhile, Dustin collected himself before walking toward Delilah’s ward.
“What happened? How did you get scalded?” Larry held onto Joan’s arm tightly and blew at her hand.
“Oh, it’s fine. I’ll be better in no time.” Joan caressed the man’s hair.
Delilah smiled in satisfaction as she watched them.
How she wished for them to carry on that way.
Dustin stood outside watching the entire ordeal. Then, he turned and left. The man didn’t want to see how affectionate Larry and Joan were, or he might end up punching Larry in the face.
“Oh, where’s Dustin? Didn’t he come looking for you?” Delilah suddenly asked.
Larry’s gaze instantly turned cold. What is that man doing here?
“What is he here for?” he asked, acting nonchalant.
“Oh, he knows this hospital pretty well, so he rushed over after hearing about Ms. Young. That was quite thoughtful of him,” Joan explained.
Who knows what he’s actually up to or if he’s doing this on purpose. Larry sipped his tea.
“Has Noelle come looking for you recently?”
“No. Why would she? It’s not like we’re close.”
“Come on, Joan. You were so popular in school,” Larry said deliberately.
What does he mean by that? Joan gazed at him, waiting for an explanation.
