Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1970
“Are you okay?” Dustin asked in a worried tone.
Joan kept silent and only shook her head. Tears of sorrow blurred her vision.
“Joan, who is this? Aren’t you going to introduce us?” her colleagues chimed in eagerly.
Dustin knew she wasn’t in the mood to indulge in such pleasantries, so he took the initiative and
introduced himself instead.
After that, he patted lightly on her shoulder. “Come on. I’ll give you a ride home.”
“Yes, please do!” Joan’s colleagues eximed in approval.
“Larry may be handsome and rich, but he’s too much of a yboy to be with Joan. I think this man is
much better suited for her,” one of them whispered.
“I agree. Did you see how he literally swooped in to rescue her from humiliation earlier? There wasn’t a
trace of hesitation.”
The women approved unanimously that Dustin was far more reliable than Larry.
Whilst driving, Dustin stole a nce at Joan. He parted his lips, but immediately shut them. An
awkward expression then showed on his face.
Joan’s bleak eyes looked outside the car window, but she could sense his conflicted motions. Without
looking at him, she spoke straightforwardly, “Spit it out.”
“I actually knew about Larry and Gabrie… It’s my fault for not telling you in advance.” He truly felt
crushed by the weight of remorse.
“It’s fine,” Joan uttered. Her voice was devoid of emotion.
I already had a hunch about the truth, so none of today’s events affected me much.
Larry may have heard about themotion earlier. I wonder how he’s nning to resolve it.
Back at the hospital, Caspian’s shoulders slumped with despair. “We’re toote.”
“Where are they? Where did they go?” Larry’s gravelly voice thundered.
He then yanked over a nurse and demanded, “Where’s the person who caused a ruckus earlier?”
The nurse was so startled by his forceful pull that it took a while before she could react.
“T-They’ve left.” Her voice trembled at the dangerous aura that emitted from Larry.
Larry disregarded this and immediately followed up with another question. “Was anyone hurt?”
The nurse tilted her head and recalled that no one seemed to be hurt.
“I don’t think so. We were really busy at the time, so I wasn’t paying much attention.”
He released her and marched straight for the security control room.
“Sir, you’re not authorized to ess our security footage!” the surveince operator dered firmly.
Within seconds, Larry shoved him onto the wall and headed towards the surveince monitors.
“Please, sir, you can’t do this…”
“You should ask the hospital director who he is,” Caspian stated. He then yanked the guard by the
cor and led him out.
Who on earth is that guy? How can he go through the hospital’s security footage as he pleases? The
surveince operator scratched the back of his head curiously.
Before he knew it, a young doctor approached him and patted his shoulders. “I suggest you let it go
because he’s not someone you want to mess with. If I’m not mistaken, that man is one of our hospital’s
wealthiest donors.”
In a sh, the surveince operator’s face paled.
Oh, no. Did I identally offend that big shot?
“Larry, have a look! There’s Joan.” Caspian urged at the surveince monitor with a rush of distress.
Larry’s chest tightened with anger as the monitor showed Joan leaving the hospital with Dustin.
This scumbag again! Why is he everywhere?
Larry balled his fists and red piercingly at Dustin’s image.
“I’ve located Dustin’s car. He’s on his way to the vige now,” Caspian reported.

He’s sending her home.
A sigh of relief slipped out of Larry’s clenched jaws.
Then Caspian’s voice sounded again, “As for Gabrie… I think she’s still in this hospital.”
Damn her! She’s got some nerve staying here.
Larry stormed out of the surveince room to find that wretched woman.
“Lars, you’re finally here! I almost thought you didn’t want me anymore… You have no idea how
frightened I was, being surrounded by all those people…” Gabrie tried her best to sound miserable.
She even pouted and shed a set of puppy eyes to garner hiss sympathy.
