Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2114
“Grandma will be okay, right, Mommy?” Lucius asked in a small voice, hugging Joan’s legs.
“She’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”
The women from the vige sighed, giving the mother and son pitiful sidelong nces.
“He’s so young, he wouldn’t be able to bear the thought of parting with Ms. Young…”
“Of course, he’s been with her since he was little…”
As their conversation grew louder and louder, Joan pulled her son away so that he wouldn’t be able to
overhear it.
“What were they talking about, Mommy?”
“Nothing, Lucius. Wait for me here, okay? I’ll go buy you breakfast,” Joan told him, patting his head

lightly.
“I’m not hungry,” he shook his head. “We can eat after Grandmaes out.”

The lit-up sign above the operating theater finally switched off as everyone held their breaths. Her eyes
widening as she saw the doctor exit the theatre and pull off his mask, Joan instantly rushed over to
clutch his arm.
She wanted to ask about Delh’s condition, and about whether or not the surgery was a sess. But
for some reason, she couldn’t get the words out of her mouth.
“What’s wrong, Joan?” Some of the other women tapped her shoulder. “Joan?”
A wave of dizziness suddenly overcame her, and she fell to the floor.
“Joan!”
Thest thing she heard before cking outpletely was Larry calling out her name.
In another ward, Larry sat by the bedside, patiently waiting for Joan to regain consciousness while
everyone else gathered in Delh’s room. Fortunately, the surgery had gone well, and she would not
suffer from any lingering side effects. All she needed now was to be monitored throughout her recovery
process.
“Where’s Joan?” The old woman rasped out, ncing around.
“She went out to buy food for you and Lucius.”
“Lucius has been waiting for you to wake up so he could eat with you.”
The women all chuckled carefreely, a heavy burden lifted off of their shoulders now that they knew
Delh was alright.
“This happened because she’s been overworking herself and suffering fromrge amounts of
psychological stress,” the doctor rified, gesturing to a still unconscious Joan. “She’ll be fine. She just
needs to take care of her own health more.”
Nodding numbly, Larry stared at Joan with pained eyes. Recent events regarding Delh and Lucius
had to have been hard on her. Poor thing. He took her hand in his, gripping it tightly.
“Ugh… Ms. Young…” Joan muttered with much difficulty, furrowing her eyebrows.
“Wake up, Joan,” Larry whispered, gently shaking her. “Ms. Young’s surgery was a sess.”
“No, Ms. Young… You can’t leave, what am I supposed to do if you leave? And what about Lucius…
Ms. Young…” A tear escaped Joan’s closed eyelids, slowly trickling down her face.
Even in her sleep, she was worried over Delh.
“No!” She cried out,ing to and sitting up abruptly.
“Joan, it’s me. You’re okay.” Larry instantly wrapped his arms around her, holding her close in an
attempt to soothe her.
“Larry? Where’s Ms. Young? Is she alright?” Completely oblivious to her own condition, she couldn’t
think about anything else other than Delh.
“Yes, she is. Don’t worry.” He brushed her hair aside, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. “Do you
want to go see her? I think she’s already awake.”
Without a second word, Joan climbed off of the bed and ran all the way to Delh’s ward, not caring
that she was barefoot.
“Ms. Young!” she yelled out, mming the door open.
Everyone in the ward immediately swiveled their heads to look at her, the atmosphere growing tense.
“Is that Joan?” Delh asked weakly.
Upon hearing her voice, Joan burst out sobbing once more. Pushing past the small crowd surrounding
Delh, she stared at the frail, old womanying on the hospital bed.
