Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2093
Without hesitation, the homeroom teacher dialed the number on the phone.
“Hi, may I speak to Lucius’ mother, please? I’m his homeroom teacher. I’m calling to inform you that the
school is holding an event…”
Joan, who was answering the call in the hospital ward, felt equal parts awkward and troubled.
It was not that she did not want to participate in the field trip, but it was just not usible for her to do
so. Delh was in the hospital at the moment. Joan could not possibly leave her side.
“I’m sorry, teacher. I’m tied up with something urgent at the moment. I don’t think we can go this time.
Maybe the next one?”
In a split second, the homeroom teacher got worked up. “Look, as Lucius’ teacher, it’s my duty to
inform you that the school has gone through painstaking efforts to set up this field trip. I sincerely
advise you to attend. After all, nothing should be more important than your child’s education…”
This is the first and hopefully thest parent who would say no to a field trip with their children! The
homeroom teacher shook her head as she stared at the screen.
“What’s the matter, Joan? Are you tired? Take a rest,” Delh said to Joan, who seemed troubled.
“No… It’s Lucius’ school. They’re having some sort of field trip. Parents are required to attend. But I just
don’t have the time! And Larry… he’s busy too!” Joan said, feeling dejected.
“It’s alright. You two should go. Ask Larry if he has time. If not, never mind,” Delh murmured.
“You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine. I have a nurse, remember? Don’t you worry for nothing.”
Delh waved her hand.
That was what Delh said, and it was certainly sound advice, but Joan just could not ept it. Delh
would undergo her surgery soon. Joan could not let herself rx in the slightest.
“Oh,e off it. You should get packing, take some time off, call Larry, attend that field trip, or
whatever they call it.”
Delh, that considerate old woman, certainly thought of everything. Sometimes, Joan really admired
that woman. She had to admit, Delh was exceptionally clear-headed for someone her age.
In the office, Larry was immersed in his work as he tended to the documents. He only turned away
when the phone he had set beside him began to vibrate.
“Larry, there’s a field triping up at Lucius’ school. The student’s parents are required toe. Can
you make it?” Joan asked lightly.
Her greatest fear was that Larry was still mad at her and that he might turn her down because of it. She
knew that Lucius had been looking forward to the field trip.
But… never mind. It’s fine if he can’t go.
“Oh, sure. When is it? Can you send me the time and venue?” Larry asked, and hung up soon after.
He’s busy, isn’t he? Looking at the text on the phone screen, Joan broke into a faint smile.
She hung up the phone and called Lucius’ homeroom teacher next, to confirm that the three of them
would be going together.
Lucius was quite surprised to hear that.
“Teacher, is that true? Are my Mom and Dad really willing toe with me?” Lucius blinked, somewhat
doubtful of it all.
“Of course it is, so you have to be a good boy, alright?” The ss teacher smiled at him.
But no one could have foreseen what would happen that day, especially not Lucius. He would not have
thought that his father would be reced by someone else.
“Lucius, that kid… He tends to overthink, you know? As time passes, he’ll just be more sensitive,

so you ought to spend more time with him. Talk to him…” Delh muttered.
Joan knew very well that most kids who grew up craving love tended to be like that, especially a
childlike Lucius who had been abandoned by his parents at a young age.
In fact, Joan did not expect that Larry would agree to attending the field trip so easily. After all, the
couple had their fair share of disputes, and Joan had not exactly exined to Larry why she had gone
to Caiden’s house.
