Chapter 2896
Upon noticing the miserable look on Larry's face, Joan's heart sank.
Looks like even Larry is powerless this time.
Meanwhile, Dustin was pacing at the side, panic seeped through every inch of his bones.
"We don't even know where they've gone.
That's the biggest problem!" Caspian and Jessica smile wryly upon seeing Dustin's torment.
Their hands were tied as well, despite wanting to help.
"Don't worry, Dustin.
I will not stop until we find Abelyn! | will help out on any matters concerning Joan.” With a final pat on Dustin's shoulder, Larry picked up his coat and walked out.
Joan kept her eyes focused on the diminishing silhouette, her heart filled with worry.
Guess there's only one way left! Larry took out his phone once more and scrolled through his contacts before landing on a number.
He quickly pressed "call", tapping his feet impatiently as the line beeped.
"Mr. Duff, there's something that | need your assistance with,’ announced Larry the second the other person picked up.
You guessed it.
Their last source of help was none other than Fred Duff, Della's father.
"What? Della kidnapped Joan? That girl must have gone crazy! Don't you worry, | will teach her a good lesson!" After hearing the situation from Larry, Fred declared in anger before bursting into a fit of coughs.
Larry was concerned for the old man's health even through the phone.
“Are you alright, Mr. Duff? Are you sick?" Larry asked gently.
It was no secret that Fred was in his golden years.
It wouldn't be a surprise if he wasn't as healthy and fit as he used to be.
“I'm alright.
The weather has just been a little chilly lately.
I'll be fine after taking some meds" After all, that was nothing new to Fred.
it was sad that Della had changed.
If she hadn't met Larry, perhaps she would have obeyed Fred's orders no matter the circumstances, but now, her mindset seemed to have changed.
