Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1904
Chapter 1904 Larry Showed Up
“Mom, Dad is here,” informed Lucius suddenly.
Joan was slightly stunned, but she recomposed herself soon.
“What are you talking about? Here. Eat your breakfast,” instructed Joan while putting some bread and milk in front of the child.
All of a sudden, Larry’s voice sounded from the door. “I’m here!”
Joan was taken aback instantly.
Why didn’t he call ahead?
“Dad!” greeted Lucius excitedly.
Joan was dumbstruck for a moment there. His arrival was too sudden, so she didn’t get any breakfast for him.
“I, uh, I’ll go buy you some breakfast now,” said Joan, who was about to leave the room.
But Larry was quick to stop the woman and lock her in place.
“It’s fine. We can have breakfast together. Do you mind that, Lucius?” asked Larry as he turned to look at the boy.
“Not at all. Good luck, Dad,” replied Lucius while giving his dad a thumbs up.
With that, they left the hospital holding hands.
“What just happened?” asked Delilah as she rubbed her eyes.
“Nothing, Grandma. Go back to sleep,” replied Lucius softly with a grin.
Meanwhile, in a café with dim lighting, soft music and the pleasant scent of rose filled the place.
Joan and Larry were drinking coffee in the corner, but neither spoke.
Joan suddenly got anxious.
“Larry, it was a spontaneous decision to leave the country that day. Things were a little hectic, and…” explained Joan.
Larry sipped some coffee and studied the woman in front of him carefully. It has only been a few days, but she looks like she has gone through a lot.
“I understand,” replied Larry. His rage had dissipated by then.
Right then, the familiar voice of a man sounded. “Joan!”
After their meal, they headed over to the hospital.
“Mr. Norton, you’re here,” greeted Dustin’s mentor before hurrying over to shake the man’s hand.
“Thank you for your hard work,” replied Larry with a smile.
Joan was surprised to see how close the two of them seemed. Do they know each other?
“Don’t worry, Mr. Norton. The child will be fine. I will do everything I can to treat him, and I won’t disappoint you,” said the doctor while smiling.
“Then I shall thank you in advance for that,” said Larry politely.
Dustin, who was standing at the side, was confused as well.
On the other hand, Delilah was the only one who realized what was happening right away. Larry is the dependable one at crucial moments like these. At that thought, a grin showed up on Delilah’s lips. I don’t need to worry anymore, now that Lucius is with them.
“What is going on?” Joan murmured.
“Silly girl. Larry was the one who got the doctor to treat Lucius,” answered Delilah, gently tapping the young lady’s head.
Jealousy flashed past Dustin’s eyes upon hearing that. So my mentor only showed up because Larry asked him to treat Lucius? Dustin clenched his fists tightly.
