Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1677
In a familiar corridor in front of the ER, Finnick wrapped his arm around Vivian’s shoulder,forting

her in a gentle tone. Beside the couple on a bench, there was a conspicuous, towering figure with his
back facing her.
“Larry?”
Her voice was soft, yet he heard it. Just like a slow-motion scene in the movie, the man turned around
and looked at the misty-eyed woman. The sorrow and grievance in her heart were reced by
excitement the moment she saw him.
Larry smiled warmly at her. How can he still smile in such a situation? Is he really Leslie’s biological
father? As the woman was finding fault with him, she med herself too. Hold on. How can I be in the
mood to find fault with him at a time like this?
The two stood rooted to their spots, staring at each other. None of them took the initiative to walk closer
to the other person. At the moment, time seemed to have stood still, and both their watches and the
clock on the wall stopped ticking. They could see no one else other than each other.
A doctor in a white cot came out of the ER while taking off his mask.
“Who is the family of Leslie?”
“It’s me!” Joan and Larry answered in unison.
They nced at one another before Larry stepped forward to sign the document.
“The child is suffering from acute gastroenteritis. But don’t worry, this illness is rathermon among
children. It can be caused by the child’s eating habits, the amount of nutrients he received when he
was in his mother’s womb, and gic inheritance. Once it’s been triggered, it’s impossible for the
child to bepletely healed of this illness. However, it’ll be under control as long as you pay attention
to his diet and take good care of him.”
Afterward, the doctor made some arrangements regarding his hospitalization before he waved at them
and said, “Don’t worry, he’ll be discharged tomorrow morning.”
Initially, Finnick wanted to stay back to visit his grandchild, but Vivian shot him a look, hinting at him to
give the young couple some space. Later, the two left hurriedly, using the excuse that they were going
to pay for the admission and leaving Larry and Joan alone.
“You…”
Unexpectedly, they spoke at the same time again. The two broke into a fit of giggles, though none of
them knew why they wereughing. Perhaps that was the thoughtfulness they both had after going
through such a conflict and the tacit understanding between a husband and a wife.
“You go first,” Larry said.
Joan did as he asked. “Are you still going to question me about my rtionship with Dustin?”
Without hesitation, the man shook his head.
“Why?”
Right after asking that, she couldn’t help butugh with amusement. The woman added, “I shouldn’t
ask you why. I’ve been in deep contemtion over the past few days. If we’re really going to stay
together for a lifetime, we have to ovee all our ipatibilities, distrust, and misunderstandings.
My mindset, beliefs, values and perspectives must be in line with yours.”
“These thoughts have been running through my head these few days as well. When that incident
happened, I kept questioning your fidelity. However, after I simmered down, I realized I should ask
myself whether I trust you and agree with your viewpoint, instead of demanding a satisfying exnation
from you. So what if I get it? I should believe in you even without an exnation from you.”
“Trust is crucial in a marriage. We should understand, tolerate, and trust each other in all things, big or
small. So Mr. Norton, are you willing to trust and tolerate me and face every obstacleing our way
together?”
During their sacred wedding ceremony, he made a vow to love and cherish her until death did them
apart. She had imagined many romantic episodes that they might go through, but she didn’t expect to
experience a heart-warming moment under such a circumstance.
