Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2016
“Don’t say that, Joan. I really am worried about you,” Larry mumbled as guilt welled up in his eyes.
At the scene, Delh then led Lucius out of the room.
At the end of the day, the two had to settle the issue themselves.
Larry stared at her, but Joan had her face turned toward the window instead. Both were deep in their
thoughts, and the atmosphere in the room was tense.
“Can you please listen to my exnation? Things are not what you think they are. There really isn’t
anything between Gabrie and me; I just can’t find the evidence to prove that yet,” Larry murmured.
What a pitiful joke. He’s already done it with her, and he even has a baby in her now. How can he
possibly deny his rtionship with her now? At those thoughts, Joan tensed up.
The Larry I know wouldn’t do this. He used to be bold and responsible. Why is he like this now? Why is
he trying to avoid everything?
Fatigue was her default state over the past few days. She did not want to be involved with Gabrie; all
she wanted to do was spend the rest of her life peacefully.
“All right, that’s enough. I’m tired, and I want to sleep now,” Joan mumbled as shey down and closed
her eyes.
Larry could only look helplessly at her, feeling awkward about getting dismissed. He wanted to exin
to her, but she refused to listen to him.
A long whileter, he stepped out of the room.
Ding, ding, ding.
Larry looked at his phone and epted the call.
“Larry, we’ve found the guy, but…” Caspian trailed off.
“But what?” Larry urged.
“He won’t admit it,” Caspian responded in a disappointed tone.
Those kinds of people were the worst; they refused to take responsibility for what they had done, and
they would even me someone else for it. This must be Gabrie’s n. Who else would try to go up
against me?
After leaving the hospital, Larry sat down on a stone bench by the river and began smoking. In the
past, he rarely smoked. However, ever since he had a fight with Joan, he started smoking several a
day.
When will you stop, Gabrie? The baby’s not mine, but you insist on iming that I’ve done something
to you that night. Do you really hate the sight of me being together with Joan? A cruel glint shed past
Larry’s eyes.
“What’s wrong? Did you have a fight with him again?” Dustin asked he strolled into the room.
However, Joan did not reply to him. All she did was stare at the falling leaves outside the window.
“Here, Joan. Have some soup. The doctor said you’re recovering well, so we can go back to the
country soon.” Dustin offered her a smile.
Yet, returning to the country was no longer something Joan was interested in. She did not want to see
that woman’s face, nor did she want to face that cruel woman.
Life only presented two choices; it was either this or that. Since I can’t go back, why should I still feel
reluctant to leave everything behind? Joan looked away from the window to stare at her hands.
Who doesn’t want a good life and a blissful family? As she gripped the bedsheets, tears welled up in
her eyes.
“All right, don’t overthink it. I’m still by your side. I’ll protect you, okay?” Dustin reassured.
That’s right. I’m d Dustin is still with me. If not for him, I might have died.
Society was aplicated ce. There were always people around who tried to set others up.
However, there were also people who would give theirplete trust to another and support them.

“Mr. Dustin, you’re quite nice,” came Lucius’ voice as he abruptly entered the room.
Sometimes, the boy spoke as if he was an adult. He was all but a mere boy, yet he seemed more
mature than some adults. When Dustin first realized it, he was startled.
“Lucius, what are you talking about? Mr. Dustin’s always been nice,” Joan hastily said.
“Mom, you don’t understand what I’m trying to say. What I mean is that Mr. Dustin is a man we can rely
on,” Lucius pointed out as he gave the man in front of him a once-over.
