Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2500
Suddenly, Delilah said, “Yesterday, Larry came home rather late.”
Well, indeed. Joan vaguely remembered Larry carrying her into the bedroom. She nodded and then asked, “When are we leaving?”
“Now. So hurry and have your breakfast.”
Why are we in such a hurry? Nevertheless, Joan complied as she trotted toward the dining room.
She finished her breakfast in no time. Soon, the two were ready to go.
“This old friend of mine had helped me a lot when I was young. I heard that she is in poor health, so I need to visit her. It is such an unforgettable past. Back then, …”
Delilah started telling Joan about her past.
As people grew old, they would always reminisce about the good old days. Delilah was no exception. It was only that she had hidden those memories in her heart when those people whom she was once familiar with walked out of her life.
“… That’s why I feel so close to Nancy. When you get old, you will feel happy as well when you recall all those sweet memories.”
Delilah’s words really tugged at Joan’s heartstrings.
How time flies when moments become memories in the blink of an eye! Life was short, and it would only be meaningful if one made the most of time.
“Ms. Young, you’re a kind and friendly woman. Did you have a lot of girlfriends back then?” Joan asked.
“I wouldn’t say I have a lot of besties, but I sure have a lot of friends. They loved to hang out with me. However, we slowly lost contact after they got married,” Delilah spoke with a hint of melancholy in her voice.
In life, everyone would have to experience countless separations and reunions.
Later that day, in the ward.
“How are you? Do you feel better?” Delilah asked with her voice full of concern.
Lying on the bed was an amicable-looking old lady. “Why do you come all the way here?” she asked.
