Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2788

The Matter Is Settled

Joan clenched her fists and tried to suppress all her dismay. Am I supposed to suppress myself forever? Joan looked at the woman before her and pleaded with her eyes.

“Madam, it was wrong of Lucius to beat anyone. Let me apologize on his behalf.” With that, she bowed low to the woman.

“Mom!” Lucius shouted, “Why do you need to apologize? They did wrong first!”

At this point, Lucius was unbearably furious. Joan held his little hand and shook it, motioning to him to be silent. Immediately, the boy kept quiet.

“You! Go home and teach your son how to behave, but, then again, how could a murderess train her son to be good?” The woman murmured as she walked towards her own son.

“So, your own son has been taught to behave well?” Suddenly, from behind, came a familiar male voice. Joan turned around and heaved a sigh of relief.

It turned out to be Caiden.

“Mr. Owens!” With a trembling voice, Lucius rushed into his arms.

“Son, hurry up and apologize to Lucius.”

“Mom!” The boy protested.

Lucius got down from the car, saw the woman in the house, and called out loudly. “Grandma!”

What’s going on here? Joan’s eyes shone.

“Oh, my dear child, do you miss me?” Delilah gently stroked Lucius’ hair and kissed him on the forehead.

Delilah is here? Joan looked at this familiar lady, incredulously, feeling quite emotional. Am I dreaming? Joan pinched herself on the thigh.

Oh! It’s painful! I’m not dreaming!

“Ms. Young.” Joan ran over and held Delilah tight. All the injustice she had suffered surged over her being.

“It’s okay now. Don’t worry because the matter has been resolved,” Delilah said while patting her back lightly.

Oh? How was the matter resolved? Who settled it? Joan brushed the tears from her cheeks and pulled Delilah to the sofa nearby. “Ms. Young, what really happened…”
