Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2800
Like Our Daughter
De became furious immediately. If he refuses to eat, drink or sleep, what does he want to do? Does
he want to die like Joan?
“Let’s go! You must eat with me today!” As she spoke, she tried to drag Larry out of the office.
“Don’t touch me!” yelled Larry as he flung her hand away.
Is he crazy?
“Larry, let’s eat, okay? We’lle back after eating.” A pleading tone crept into De’s voice. She
suddenly felt a bit lost. All she wanted to do was to harm Joan, not to sabotage her beloved Larry!
Larry curled up into a ball andy on the sofa. Hugging Joan’s photograph, he slowly closed his eyes.
All De could feel was heartache. She stopped convincing him and left the office directly.
Meanwhile, Joan was still busy by the sea. She seemed to be in a good mood.
“Help me out, Joan!” yelled the old woman, raising the fishing.
“I’ming!” The elderly couple fished for a living. However, they only earned a little and did not pin
any hopes on earning a fortune.
“Ma’am, why don’t you start a fish shop?” Joan stared at the elderly couple dubiously, feeling puzzled.
Fishermen like them had an advantage those urban-dwellers did not. If they were serious about starting
a fish shop, they would definitely earn a lot of money.
The elderly couple exchanged nces, shook their heads, and smiled.
“We only sell our fish to the residents nearby. We don’t n on expanding our business,” exined the
old woman.
Yeah, those living in the cities are maniptive people, with countless tricks up their sleeves. It’s

would they be willing to join those urban-dwellers?
Joan mocked herself silently, feeling slightly guilty.
I wonder how Larry’s doing now. I hope that he isn’t too devastated. A despondent look shed across
Joan’s eyes.
“What are you thinking about, youngdy?” asked the old woman softly as she waved his hand in front
of Joan.
“Huh? Nothing.” Joan quickly returned to her senses and continued with her work.
Suddenly, a few children ran over and pleaded with Joan to y with them.
As she could not bear to ruin their excitement, Joan bade the elderly couple farewell before having fun
with the children.
Gazing at the lively scene, a contented smile yed on the old woman’s lips.
“That youngdy is really like our daughter,” remarked the old man as he whispered into the old
woman’s ears. She smiled as tears welled up in her eyes.
They used to have a daughter in the past. However, after she went swimming in the ocean at twenty
years old, she never returned.
Probably because she was too exhausted, Joan returned home after ying with the kids for a while.
“Joan, do you want to call your family? They must be worried sick about you,” asked the old woman as
she worked in the kitchen.
Immediately, a hint of disappointment appeared in Joan’s eyes. She was conflicted by this issue too,
but in the end, she could not convince herself to call Larry.
She knew very well that this storm had not passed.
“I know,” she replied, feigning lightheartedness.
Meanwhile, Caspian and Jessica were standing in front of Larry in his office at Norton Corporation.
Their expressions were stern.
“Larry, if you know that Joan isn’t dead yet, will you be rejuvenated immediately?” asked Jessica. Larry
raised his head instantly. Gazing at her seriously with a look of anticipation, he grabbed her arm. “Have
you found her? She isn’t dead, right?”
A surprised expression appeared on Caspian’s face too.
Actually, Jessica was simply trying to attract Larry’s attention when she said that.
“Larry, I’ll help you find Joan. Can you please pull yourself together?” Jessica coaxed Larry like she
was coaxing a child. On the other hand, Caspian felt puzzled.
Perhaps Joan is still alive now. However, where should we find her? He nudged Jessica gently, his
eyes filled with confusion.
