Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2830

“It’s been alright,” Delilah said. The household has become less lively since Joan isn’t around, that’s for sure.

Larry’s eyes lingered on Lucius’ room before they dimmed with despondent. Maybe I should leave him alone for now. He must hate my guts now.

Larry turned and handed Delilah a bank card, saying, “Ms. Young, I’ve put some money in this card. This is for his excursion to the beach tomorrow. Could you please pass it to him?”

He knew that Lucius’ homeroom teacher had arranged to take the kids to the beach, and the parents were encouraged to participate. But since Lucius chose not to share this information with him, Larry took the hint and left the residence shortly after.

Although Lucius had laid out his homework on his study desk, his mind was drifting off as he stayed in his room.

“Here, your dad wanted you to have this,” Delilah said while sliding the bank card across Lucius’ desk.

The boy had always been a responsible child, therefore both Delilah and Larry never had to worry about letting him keep a bank card.

Lucius felt a pang of guilt as he stared at the card, wondering if he should reconcile with his father. I’ve already lost Mom. I can’t lose Dad, too.

The next day, Lucius’ homeroom teacher took the children to the beach early in the morning.

The beach was as enchanting as ever.

As the rest of his classmates enjoyed bathing in the morning sunlight while watching seagulls being chased away by the splashing of sea waves against the beach, Lucius sat by himself and stared out into the distance. Where are you, Mom? Are you still alive?

His petite hands clenched up as the thought about his mother intensified.

“Slow down, Joan, or you’re gonna trip!” a voice suddenly rang from a distance. The name “Joan” had captured Lucius’ attention. He stood up and tried to trace the direction of the sound.

“I’m going to get you a drink,” Jake said before leaving Joan to herself. She was half-kneeling on the ground and appeared a little tuckered out.
