Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1642

Smiling at her, Dustin stroked her head. “There’s no need to be sorry among friends. After all, your troubles are as good as mine.”

Having comforted Joan, Dustin made a call to a doctor he knew. He explained to Joan that his contact was an excellent pediatrician.

When the pediatrician heard that Joan was raising Leslie alone, he gave her a generous discount for Leslie’s treatment, for which Joan was extremely grateful.

Fortunately, Leslie’s condition wasn’t serious. Although his fever hadn’t subsided, they had managed to stop it from escalating in the nick of time.

Sitting by Leslie’s bed, Joan ensured that he didn’t move indiscriminately. She had to ensure the needle that was attached to his forehead stayed in place.

As Dustin entered with a peeled apple in hand, Joan quickly pulled out a chair for him. When he offered her the apple, she shook her head to decline.

Dustin remarked with a smile, “Usually, visitors bring fruit baskets. Hence, I hope you won’t think of me as a miser for just bringing you this apple.”

Joan was shaking her head vehemently when she heard Dustin continue, “After staying up the whole night, you have yet to eat a thing. At least have an apple to replenish your energy. At this rate, I’m worried that your body might suffer. If you collapse, there will be no one to care for your son.”

Seeing his point, Joan no longer refused. When she reached out to accept the apple, Dustin asked her, “By the way, does Larry know that the child is sick?”

Briefly stunned, Joan shook her head, “I neglected my son because we were having a fight.”

While he held Leslie’s hand, Dustin advised Joan, “It’s common for couples to fight. After being together for such a long time, conflicts are bound to happen.”

At the same time, Nancy bought some flowers and fruits as she planned to head toward Mercy Hospital together with Caspian.

As for Larry, he had just finished a meeting when he received a call from his parents, informing him that Joan was in the hospital. Falling into a panic, he almost dropped his phone at the news.

Feeling as if his heart was suspended in an abyss, he kept reassuring himself along the way that Joan and Leslie would both be fine.

Despite his attempts, there was no way he could calm his worried self down. Speeding all the way to the hospital, he ran a few red lights without even realizing it.

The incessant honks that resulted from his actions only served to intensify his worries further.

“Joan! Joan!” Vivian cried as she barged into the ward. As she approached the bed, she saw Leslie’s eyes shut tightly. He wasn’t as boisterous as he used to be.
