Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2093

Without hesitation, the homeroom teacher dialed the number on the phone.

“Hi, may I speak to Lucius’ mother, please? I’m his homeroom teacher. I’m calling to inform you that the school is holding an event…”

Joan, who was answering the call in the hospital ward, felt equal parts awkward and troubled.

It was not that she did not want to participate in the field trip, but it was just not plausible for her to do so. Delilah was in the hospital at the moment. Joan could not possibly leave her side.

“I’m sorry, teacher. I’m tied up with something urgent at the moment. I don’t think we can go this time. Maybe the next one?”

In a split second, the homeroom teacher got worked up. “Look, as Lucius’ teacher, it’s my duty to inform you that the school has gone through painstaking efforts to set up this field trip. I sincerely advise you to attend. After all, nothing should be more important than your child’s education…”

This is the first and hopefully the last parent who would say no to a field trip with their children! The homeroom teacher shook her head as she stared at the screen.

“What’s the matter, Joan? Are you tired? Take a rest,” Delilah said to Joan, who seemed troubled.

“No… It’s Lucius’ school. They’re having some sort of field trip. Parents are required to attend. But I just don’t have the time! And Larry… he’s busy too!” Joan said, feeling dejected.

“It’s alright. You two should go. Ask Larry if he has time. If not, never mind,” Delilah murmured.

“You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine. I have a nurse, remember? Don’t you worry for nothing.” Delilah waved her hand.

That was what Delilah said, and it was certainly sound advice, but Joan just could not accept it. Delilah would undergo her surgery soon. Joan could not let herself relax in the slightest.

“Oh, come off it. You should get packing, take some time off, call Larry, attend that field trip, or whatever they call it.”
