Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2434
“Got it.” It was the first time the father-son pair conversed amiably, and in some way, Joan played a huge role in this. Olivia could not help but smile at the two men chatting away enthusiastically. “Alright. That’s enough. Come and have some apples.”
“Mom, just leave it on the table. I need to discuss some company matters with Dad first,” Caiden said hurriedly.
Keith felt proud and comforted to see Caiden treat his work seriously. He no longer had to worry about having no one to take over his business. “Let’s continue, then!” he exclaimed.
Now that Keith promised to stop giving Joan a hard time, peace returned to the family.
Back in the hospital, Lucius was snuggled comfortably in Joan’s arms. “Mom, are you feeling ok?”
“Don’t worry, Lucius. I’m fine,” came Joan’s reply.
However, her fragile and thin frame betrayed her words. Lucius could not stop worrying about her.
Despite so, Joan managed to recover over time. However, the nearer she got to being discharged, the more hesitant she became. She was not ready to face Delilah. Although the latter wanted her to continue living in her house, the incident the other day greatly affected Joan, making her feel undecided whether to stay or leave.
“Joan.” Delilah treaded into the ward.
“Ms. Young, why are you here?” Joan greeted.
“How do you feel? Your body’s almost recovered right?” There was a trace of awkwardness in Delilah’s voice. Even so, it could not hide the anxiousness she was feeling. Joan knew what she was worried about.
“I’m fine.”
“If that’s the case, let’s go home,” blurted Delilah
Her eagerness touched Joan’s heart.
