Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2114

“Grandma will be okay, right, Mommy?” Lucius asked in a small voice, hugging Joan’s legs.

“She’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”

The women from the village sighed, giving the mother and son pitiful sidelong glances.

“He’s so young, he wouldn’t be able to bear the thought of parting with Ms. Young…”

“Of course, he’s been with her since he was little…”

As their conversation grew louder and louder, Joan pulled her son away so that he wouldn’t be able to overhear it.

“What were they talking about, Mommy?”

“Nothing, Lucius. Wait for me here, okay? I’ll go buy you breakfast,” Joan told him, patting his head lightly.

“I’m not hungry,” he shook his head. “We can eat after Grandma comes out.”

The lit-up sign above the operating theater finally switched off as everyone held their breaths. Her eyes widening as she saw the doctor exit the theatre and pull off his mask, Joan instantly rushed over to clutch his arm.

She wanted to ask about Delilah’s condition, and about whether or not the surgery was a success. But for some reason, she couldn’t get the words out of her mouth.

“What’s wrong, Joan?” Some of the other women tapped her shoulder. “Joan?”

A wave of dizziness suddenly overcame her, and she fell to the floor.

“Joan!”

The last thing she heard before blacking out completely was Larry calling out her name.

In another ward, Larry sat by the bedside, patiently waiting for Joan to regain consciousness while everyone else gathered in Delilah’s room. Fortunately, the surgery had gone well, and she would not suffer from any lingering side effects. All she needed now was to be monitored throughout her recovery process.
