Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1957

In the next second, he felt a pang of heartache and promptly loosened his grip on Joan.

“I’m sorry. I forgot myself.”

“It’s Lucius. He’s admitted to the hospital…” she explained in a soft voice.

So what? Why should she care about the child? He is only her adopted son, and they’re not related by blood.

Scratching the back of his head, Dustin couldn’t wrap his head around what she was thinking.

Watching the woman bustle around the room, he knew that there was no way he could stop her from going back.

Fine, I’ll let her be.

“I’m going back with you.” With that, Dustin turned around and headed back to his bedroom to pack his luggage.

In the hospital, Lucius was lying on the bed, while looking out the window. His gaze was bleak and melancholic. Exasperated, Delilah’s heart ached for him.

Ring, ring, ring…

Delilah took a look at her phone and promptly picked it up.

“Mom!” The weariness in his voice couldn’t conceal the excitement in it.

“I miss you so much,” the boy protested.

Joan was at a loss for words.

“Hey, Lucius is awake. You look happy today.” Larry came into the ward with some fruits.
