Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2014
“Hello, is there a patient named Larry Norton here?” Delilah asked.
“No, but we do have a man named Larry Norton who’s a family member of a patient here,” the nurse answered.
A sense of dread came upon Delilah when she heard the nurse’s words.
Ding, ding, ding.
Larry picked up the call.
“Ms. Young.”
The two words caught Gabriella’s attention.
“Where are you now?” came Delilah’s question.
“I…” Larry hesitated.
“Come outside. I have something to talk to you about.” With that said, she ended the call.
At the start, she thought the receptionist’s words had been untrue. However, the moment she entered the hospital and asked the nurse about his whereabouts, she realized the receptionist had been speaking the truth.
“Larry, do you know where Joan is at and what’s she doing right now?” Delilah fixed her cold gaze at him.
Of course, Larry knew, but there was nothing he could do about it. What if something actually happens to Gabriella when I leave? She’s already in such a terrible state.
“Ms. Young, don’t be anxious. After these two days, I’ll definitely go overseas and visit Joan,” Larry explained.
However, Delilah only walked closer to the man, her eyes filled with disdain for him. That was the first time she was disgusted with a man, and that was the first time she felt as apathetic toward Larry.
“What are you doing here? Keeping Gabriella company?” Delilah gritted out.
She could not figure out what this man was thinking about. Joan was his wife, yet the one he was concerned about was another woman.
After a long silence, Delilah sighed and walked away.
