Chapter 2979
Della instructed the man next to her, "Get in touch with Larry and ask him to come over and pick her up immediately!"
"Yes!"
The man reached for his phone and made the call as instructed.
Her assistant shared his concern with her, "Miss, what exactly are you up to? Aren't you afraid of exposing yourself?"
"Larry won't be able to trace this phone number; Della replied nonchalantly.
At that moment, her only concern was Joan's wellbeing.
Although Larry doesn't have a thing for me, I can't possibly ignore the fact that our family is indebted to him! Why hasn't he mentioned anything about it? Della wouldn't have schemed against Joan over and over again if she were aware of the things Larry had done for her family.
After the man hung up the call, he informed, "Miss, I have told Larry to come over to pick Joan up."
"Get rid of that phone immediately.Also, I want you to head abroad for the time being."
Della gave her assistant a wave.
Following that, he handed the man a check.
In Larry's office, Caspian asked anxiously, "Larry, have you figured out Joan's whereabouts?"
"Yes! I'm on my way to pick her up!"
Once he retrieved his blazer, he marched out of his office.
Caspian stopped Larry and yelled, "No! I can't allow you to go there on your own! It's way too dangerous! Perhaps they're up to something else!"
"It will be fine.But I want all of you to be on standby just in case I need reinforcement."
Larry was running out of patience as he was in a hurry to rescue Joan.
The moment Larry barged into the room, Joan had passed out on the couch due to starvation and dehydration.She refused to consume the food and water she had been served.
"Joan!"
Larry shrieked once he saw her.
"Larry, you need to stop blaming yourself.Haven't you heard the doctor? She's going to be fine."
Jessica tried to console him, but she knew nothing she said could make him feel better.
It was unfortunate that the young woman had to go through countless obstacles just because of the man's love for her.
Jessica took a peek at Larry and did not say another word.
Ail this wouldn't have happened if Della hadn't insisted on marrying him.
Sometimes, it would do more bad than good when a man was overly attractive.
Perhaps he would even unwittingly put his loved ones at stake.
Shortly, Dustin, Jory, and Nancy showed up in the ward and surrounded Joan.
Concerned about her condition, Nancy asked, "Is everything fine?"
Is it necessary to have so many people around her when she's barely hurt? Abelyn, who was there as well, got jealous as she thought they were overreacting.
