Chapter 2979


    De instructed the man next to her, "Get in touch with Larry and ask him toe over and pick her up


    immediately!"


    "Yes!"


    The man reached for his phone and made the call as instructed.


    Her assistant shared his concern with her, "Miss, what exactly are you up to? Aren''t you afraid of


    exposing yourself?"


    "Larry won''t be able to trace this phone number; De replied nonchntly.


    At that moment, her only concern was Joan''s wellbeing.


    Although Larry doesn''t have a thing for me, I can''t possibly ignore the fact that our family is indebted to


    him! Why hasn''t he mentioned anything about it? De wouldn''t have schemed against Joan over and


    over again if she were aware of the things Larry had done for her family.


    After the man hung up the call, he informed, "Miss, I have told Larry toe over to pick Joan up."


    "Get rid of that phone immediately.Also, I want you to head abroad for the time being."


    De gave her assistant a wave.


    Following that, he handed the man a check.


    In Larry''s office, Caspian asked anxiously, "Larry, have you figured out Joan''s whereabouts?"


    "Yes! I''m on my way to pick her up!"


    Once he retrieved his zer, he marched out of his office.


    Caspian stopped Larry and yelled, "No! I can''t allow you to go there on your own! It''s way too


    dangerous! Perhaps they''re up to something else!"


    "It will be fine.But I want all of you to be on standby just in case I need reinforcement."


    Larry was running out of patience as he was in a hurry to rescue Joan.


    The moment Larry barged into the room, Joan had passed out on the couch due to starvation and


    dehydration.She refused to consume the food and water she had been served.


    "Joan!"


    Larry shrieked once he saw her.


    "Wake up, Joan! Stay with me!"

    He shook her arm in an attempt to wake her up, yet his effort was to no avail.


    Without a second thought, he held her in his arms and dashed out of the room.


    The hospital was packed with patients due to the drastic change in weather over the past few days.


    Hence, the doctors and nurses were all upied.


    Jessica strode over and asked, "Larry, how is everything? Is Joan fine?"


    How can she possibly be fine? Judging by her pale and haggard look, it''s evident that she has not


    consumed anything in the past few days! Creak! The door was opened, and the doctor walked out of


    the operating theater.


    Grasping the doctor''s arms, the anxious man asked, "Doctor, is she okay?"


    Sighing, the doctor shook his head and dered in a serious manner, "The patient is not doing well, but


    she''s no longer in danger.She has to have adequate rest for the next few days’"


    "Alright.As long as she''s no longer in danger, it''s fine!"


    Larry muttered to himself and stared at the woman on the hospital bed.He felt guilty for not being able


    to keep her safe.


    "Larry, you need to stop ming yourself.Haven''t you heard the doctor? She''s going to be fine."


    Jessica tried to console him, but she knew nothing she said could make him feel better.


    It was unfortunate that the young woman had to go through countless obstacles just because of the


    man''s love for her.


    Jessica took a peek at Larry and did not say another word.


    Ail this wouldn''t have happened if De hadn''t insisted on marrying him.


    Sometimes, it would do more bad than good when a man was overly attractive.


    Perhaps he would even unwittingly put his loved ones at stake.


    Shortly, Dustin, Jory, and Nancy showed up in the ward and surrounded Joan.


    Concerned about her condition, Nancy asked, "Is everything fine?"


    Is it necessary to have so many people around her when she''s barely hurt? Abelyn, who was there as


    well, got jealous as she thought they were overreacting.
