Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2800

Like Our Daughter

Della became furious immediately. If he refuses to eat, drink or sleep, what does he want to do? Does he want to die like Joan?

“Let’s go! You must eat with me today!” As she spoke, she tried to drag Larry out of the office.

“Don’t touch me!” yelled Larry as he flung her hand away.

Is he crazy?

“Larry, let’s eat, okay? We’ll come back after eating.” A pleading tone crept into Della’s voice. She suddenly felt a bit lost. All she wanted to do was to harm Joan, not to sabotage her beloved Larry!

Larry curled up into a ball and lay on the sofa. Hugging Joan’s photograph, he slowly closed his eyes.

All Della could feel was heartache. She stopped convincing him and left the office directly.

Meanwhile, Joan was still busy by the sea. She seemed to be in a good mood.

“Help me out, Joan!” yelled the old woman, raising the fishing net.

“I’m coming!” The elderly couple fished for a living. However, they only earned a little and did not pin any hopes on earning a fortune.

“Ma’am, why don’t you start a fish shop?” Joan stared at the elderly couple dubiously, feeling puzzled. Fishermen like them had an advantage those urban-dwellers did not. If they were serious about starting a fish shop, they would definitely earn a lot of money.

The elderly couple exchanged glances, shook their heads, and smiled.

“We only sell our fish to the residents nearby. We don’t plan on expanding our business,” explained the old woman.

Yeah, those living in the cities are manipulative people, with countless tricks up their sleeves. It’s common to see trickery and scams rife amongst them. They are just a pair of naive, old couples. Why would they be willing to join those urban-dwellers?

Joan mocked herself silently, feeling slightly guilty.

I wonder how Larry’s doing now. I hope that he isn’t too devastated. A despondent look flashed across Joan’s eyes.
