Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2354
“I’m not hungry. You should rest.” Joan didn’t want to tire Larry when he was already sick.
“Let me know if you need anything. I won’t be going anywhere.”
The pain suddenly attacked him again. Larry immediately turned around to head to the sofa on the side.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” questioned Joan in panic. Her eyes filled with concern.
“Yeah. Maybe I ate too much. I feel bloated.”
This idiot. Why is he hiding that from me?! Doesn’t he know how worried I am?
“Larry, I think it’s best if you went home.”
Maybe his mood and appetite will improve if I’m not around him.
“You really want me to leave that badly, huh?” he remarked coolly.
I’m doing this for your own good!
“That’s right. I don’t want to see your face. I hate you. Leave and never show yourself before me ever again.”
Joan did it to lessen Larry’s suffering..
It never occurred to her that he would suffer even more without her by his side.
“Are you really that disgusted that I’m right here with you?”
“No sh*t!” she spat.
Very well. Larry slowly got up to leave with his hand still clutching his stomach.
Given his fragile state, Joan could tell his pain was worsening with his every move. She berated herself for her cruelty.
“You know, I’m really envy the two of you,” uttered the girl.
Joan snorted and evaded eye contact.
What’s there to be envious of? How we got divorced? His womanizing ways? Or how I’m lying on a hospital bed with a fracture?
“But hey, I have a feeling you and Larry will remarry in the future,” stated the girl playfully.
How did she know we were married? I don’t recall telling her anything regarding this.
Naturally, Larry fed her that piece of information so she could help him reconcile with Joan. He hoped the girl could persuade Joan to rethink their relationship with her intelligence and logical reasoning.
“What are you talking about? You’re too young for this nonsense.” Although her prediction was annoying, it gave Joan unexpected ray of hope.
Do we still stand a chance, though? She shook her head and sighed as a wave of sadness swept through her.
“Joan, you both are clearly a match made in heaven. Why can’t you just talk things out sensibly? I really don’t understand how adults’ minds work.”
