Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2489

“Do you need anything? If not, you’d better go back to your own room,” Larry stated flatly. “Tell Caspian if you want to eat anything, and he’ll get it for you.”

What a joke. I don’t need to be served by your men. She whipped around and stormed off.

As soon as she left the room, Larry’s movement slowed to a halt, an exasperated expression on his face as he sighed heavily.

Maybe it was truly about time that he went home. The sky outside soon darkened, and the staff and patients in the hospital were all starting to turn in for the night.

“What the hell are you doing?” Caspian whispered furiously.

“Quiet!” Larry demanded. “Take what you need and follow me!”

They passed by the wards, navigated their way through corridors, and crossed the hospital yard to eventually arrive at the main entrance.

Are we running away? Caspian stared at the man in front of him with an equal mix of wariness and shock. He would have never thought there’d come a day where Larry would stoop to such extreme, pitiful measures.

“Come on, don’t fall behind. If Della finds out, she won’t let us leave,” Larry muttered.

Oh. Larry had a point. She’d always been determined to stop them from leaving this country, so Caspian could understand why Larry had chosen to leave like this. After all, this was not their homeland. They didn’t have enough men on their side to be able to handle Della.

All the lights in the hospital suddenly flickered to life, momentarily blinding both men. “Where do you think you’re going?”

Damn it. Caspian stood frozen, hanging his head in disappointment.

Wasn’t she supposed to be in bed and sleeping right now? Larry clenched his jaw as he stared down Della, who stood off in the distance and was blocking their way out.

He didn’t want to fight her, but he didn’t want to date her either. Becoming business partners was fine by him. Becoming lovers, on the other hand, was impossible.
