Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2579
“Larry, you’re here!” Joan said weakly, with a glint of joy in her eyes.
Immediately, Larry’s attention was drawn to the man in front of him. “Why are you here?”
“I passed by the photography studio and saw someone causing trouble, so I went in and checked it out. I didn’t expect anything like that.” Jake shrugged his shoulders.
Then, Larry approached Joan with an anxious look. “Are you alright?”
“I’m fine!” She flashed him a reassuring smile.
Larry continued to ask her, “Who did that?”
Joan shook her head helplessly.
Looking at the sweet couple before him, Jake felt a prick of sadness and walked out of the ward quietly.
After he left, Larry reconfirmed, “Is it true that Jake happened to pass by?”
“I don’t know, but I guess so!” Joan replied calmly.
Still, he suspected something was amiss.
They chatted for a while and changed their topic of conversation.
Larry tucked Joan in and showed concern for her wellbeing. At that moment, she was touched by his warm and caring act.
In fact, Joan was not an ambitious woman, nor was she keen to attain a remarkable achievement. She took over the photography studio in order to avoid the unfair dismissal of the staff for some inexplicable reason.
He then asked, holding her hand tightly, “So… What’s your plan? Are you going to carry on or give up?”
“Larry, I don’t want to give up!” Joan replied without hesitation.
That’s my girl!
“Great! No matter what your decision is, I’ll support you!” Larry gave her an encouraging smile.
Meanwhile, there were still a few people making trouble at the entrance of the photography studio. They kept clamoring and demanded Joan to deal with them personally.
“Joan Watts! You’d better f*cking come out! This is all your fault!”
“Yeah, you must take full responsibility!”
