Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1801
Somehow, Joan felt like Larry had not been as enthusiastic as he used to that morning. It was as if the
man was only reciting a well-rehearsed line like he was doing it out of obligation.
Her face fell.
Knock, knock. Joan was perplexed to hear someone knocking on her door.
Especially since she was at somece not many people knew who she was. All of a sudden, she
recalled something and rushed to her door.
It’s really him! ”Dustin, what’s the matter with you? It’s still so early.” Joan deliberately said as she
stretched herself out.
“What early? Will you look at the time already? Let’s go, hurry!” Dustin said.
“Where are we going? What’s the hurry?” Joan looked at the man before her with a surprised look.
“Joan, I’m being serious right now. I know a lot of had happened recently, and so you need to do
another round of body check-up to make sure there won’t be anyplications in the future.” Dustin
looked at Joan solemnly.
“Alright, get packing. Don’t worry, I won’ty a finger on you. We’re friends, right?” Dustin said.
Why am I so prejudiced toward Dustin? He’s my best friend, for goodness’ sake!
Dustin actually cared more for Joan’s health more than anything right then. All that other stuff about
Larry or love or any possibilities of rtionships could notpare to the health of Joan. There was
only hope for all those stuff if she was healthy.
“Okay, would you wait for a moment? I’ll be ready in a second,” Joan said and dashed for the
washroom.
Dustin was right. She had been preupied with a lot of things recently, and there was always one
thing or another to worry about. Suddenly, she was ovee by fear that a tumor or something might
have cropped up in her brain again. She had lost Larry once, and she could not bear with the thought
of parting with him again.
They reached the hospital in no time.
“Joan, would you wait for me for a while here? I’ll go handle the registration.” Dustin added.
“Sure.” Joan nodded her head in reply. She was suddenly thankful for Dustin, as she would not have
thought about this check-up if it wasn’t for him.
There were a lot of people in the hospital. Even though he was a doctor, Dustin was not spared from
the rules. He had to line up for the registration procedure as well.
She waited in the lobby, waiting for Dustin toe get her.
“Uh…” An old man appeared in front of Joan all of a sudden.
The man clutched his abdomen and appeared to be in agony.
Joan nced at her surroundings and noticed that there was no one who could be the old man’s
rtive. The hospital was bustling with patients and busy nurses, and nobody had noticed that the old

man was in pain.
“Mister, what’s wrong?” Joan stepped forward to steady the old man.
“My stomach… it’s so painful…” The old man leaned against Joan’s shoulders.
“Mister, hold it in, we’re going to get you a doctor,” Joan said with a gentle voice as she patted his back.
“Miss, would you please help me to my ward? There are doctors there…” The old man seemed to have
drained all his energy to utter that sentence.
Joan steadied the old man into the ward without hesitation.
As the old man said, there were two doctors in the ward, and they arranged tubing for the old man as
soon as they noticed him writhing in pain.
“Doctor, is he going to be alright?” Joan looked worriedly at the old man on the hospital bed.
It had been too dangerous back in the lobby just now. Joan was afraid that he might even faint back
there.
“He’s going to be alright.” The doctor did not even bother to lift his head.
However, Joan suddenly found the old man’s face to be quite familiar. Have I seen him somece
else?
Her mind went into overdrive trying to recall the face but to no avail.
“Water…” The old man finally opened his eyes.
Joan poured a ss of water and handed it over to him. “You’re still here,” the old man said.
