Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1881
Chapter 1881 Are You Going To Leave Me
“It’s been so long now, Grandma… Why aren’t Mom and Dad awake yet?” Lucius asked with his eyes wide.
Caspian stared at Lucius curiously and began putting the pieces together. He was shocked when he first saw Selena on the hospital bed, but he soon understood why Larry had not returned for so long.
“Joan! Joan!” Larry’s eyes shot wide open all of a sudden.
“Oh, my God! You’re awake, Larry!” Caspian exclaimed in relief.
“Caspian? Where’s Joan?” Larry grabbed his arm tightly.
A gentle smile formed on Delilah’s face when she saw that. He wakes up, and the first thing he does is call out to Joan… Looks like I won’t have to worry about Selena after all…
“You’re finally awake, Dad! Mom’s right here!” Lucius shouted.
Larry quickly got out of bed and made his way toward Selena.
“It’s my fault… It’s all my fault!” Larry said in a trembling voice while running his hand gently through her hair.
“It’s okay…” Selena slowly opened her eyes.
It pained her to see Larry blaming himself like that.
She then reached out and wiped the tears off his face as she said, “Don’t cry, Larry…”
Both Larry and Delilah froze in shock when they heard that. Selena had always addressed him as “Mr. Norton” instead of “Larry,” so this must means… This is Joan! Joan’s back!
“Do you remember your name?” Larry asked anxiously.
“Of course I do, silly! What’s the matter with you? I’m Joan Watts, duh! I remember everything now!” Joan said as she gave him a pat on the head.
The warm sun, the gentle breeze, the faint scent of flowers, and the rapid currents of the river…
“Thank you for everything, Ms. Young,” Joan said softly, having fully regained all of her memories from before.
Delilah simply stared at her with a relieved and longing look in her eyes.
