Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1641

As Joan put her hand on his forehead, she could feel it burning. Seized by panic, she picked him up and darted outside.

While running, her heel was accidentally caught between a gap of a manhole. Despite her struggles, she was unable to dislodge it still. However, with Leslie’s eyes still closed, she decided to leave the shoe and rushed toward the hospital.

Soon, the doctor had taken over Leslie while Joan went to the registration counter to register. She had begun to hobble her way around awkwardly.

At that moment, she had the urge to slap herself as punishment. Given how careless I am, how am I able to raise Leslie properly? Or even give him a good life? That was nothing but a fantasy.

I hope that Leslie will be fine. Or else, there’s no way I can face Larry’s parents. I wouldn’t be able to face Larry either.

Just when she was deep in thought, someone pulled her arm, causing her to regain her senses. She widened her eyes in surprise when she saw who it was.

He was wearing a white coat. When he took his hand out of his pocket and removed his facemask, a handsome face emerged before her.

Gaping, she murmured, “Dustin?”

“Joan? What happened?” when he saw how listless she looked, he grabbed her shoulders and asked. However, Joan maintained her silence.

When Dustin noticed that she was ignoring him, he looked around and saw the surrounding crowd. After which he pulled her to a corner.

“Joan, what happened to you? When I saw you walking around alone looking lost, I called out to you but you didn’t respond. What’s going on? Where’s Larry? What happened between the two of you?” Dustin’s concern was written all over his face.

After knowing her for such a long time, Dustin had never seen her this way. Feeling lost for a moment, he took out a tissue from his coat and clumsily comforted her.

“Joan, please don’t cry. Someone else might be thinking that I have bullied you. Tell me what happened? We can definitely solve it together.”

“I made a mistake last night when I left him alone at home with a fever. I only managed to bring him to the hospital just a moment ago. Hence, I am utterly devastated. Given how careless I am, how am I able to raise my son properly or even give him a good life?”

Dustin didn’t help her wipe her tears. Instead, he handed her the tissue and remarked softly, “Everyone makes mistakes so don’t get too caught up by it. What’s done is done. There will definitely be a solution. As a researcher, I enjoy a good relationship with the doctors here. Come, let’s find your son a specialist. He will advise the best course of treatment based on your son’s situation. So, stop worrying.”

As Joan sobbed softly, she apologized, “I’m sorry to have lost my composure in front of you. Anyway, I appreciate what you’re doing for me.”
