A Touch of Sweetness
Chapter 2896

Chapter 2896

Upon noticing the miserable look on Larry's face, Joan's heart sank.

Looks like even Larry is powerless this time.

Meanwhile, Dustin was pacing at the side, panic seeped through every inch of his bones.

"We don't even know where they've gone.

That's the biggest problem!" Caspian and Jessica smile wryly upon seeing Dustin's torment.

Their hands were tied as well, despite wanting to help.

"Don't worry, Dustin.

I will not stop until we replace Abelyn! I will help out on any matters concerning Joan.” With a final paton Dustin's shoulder, Larry picked up his coat and walked out.

Joan kept her eyes focused on the diminishing silhouette, her heart filled with worry.

Guess there's only one way left! Larry took out his phone once more and scrolled through hiscontacts before landing on a number.

He quickly pressed "call", tapping his feet impatiently as the line beeped.

"Mr. Duff, there's something that I need your assistance with," announced Larry the second the otherperson picked up.

You guessed it.

Their last source of help was none other than Fred Duff, Della's father.

"What? Della kidnapped Joan? That girl must have gone crazy! Don't you worry, I will teach her agood lesson!" After hearing the situation from Larry, Fred declared in anger before bursting into a fitof coughs.

Larry was concerned for the old man's health even through the phone.

“Are you alright, Mr. Duff? Are you sick?" Larry asked gently.

It was no secret that Fred was in his golden years.

It wouldn't be a surprise if he wasn't as healthy and fit as he used to be.

“I'm alright.

The weather has just been a little chilly lately.

I'll be fine after taking some meds" After all, that was nothing new to Fred.

it was sad that Della had changed.

If she hadn't met Larry, perhaps she would have obeyed Fred's orders no matter the circumstances,but now, her mindset seemed to have changed.

She was no longer the mature, kind, and generous woman she once was, but rather, she hadbecome immature, sensitive, and stubborn.

Fred already knew of the possible outcomes.

Even if he were to call Della now to interfere with her plans, Della would not listen, unless somehuge changes were to happen.

Such as...

me losing my life.

The two men conversed for a few more minutes before hanging up.

After the call, Larry lifted his head to gaze at the starry night, his eyes filled with grief.

You used to be such a kind person Della, why have you become so...

arrogant and unreasonable?What changed you? Larry heaved out a sigh, feeling a sense of loss,before turning to leave.

In the meantime, after they had ended the call, Fred immediately dialed Della's number.

"Dad? What's wrong? It's so late now, why the sudden call?” Della annoyance seeped through thereceiver.

Fred let out a few coughs before clearing his throat and started lecturing his daughter.

"Della, Larry and Joan are already married! Why must you get in their way?" Fred huffed as hereprimanded Della, agitated.

All parents only wish for the best for their children!As a father, who wouldn't want their children tothrive?Unfortunately, Della makes him worry about her.

"Dad, this is none of your business! What happens between me and Larry is none of your concern!Stop interfering!” snapped Della.

You're right! thought Fred.

if you weren't my daughter, how would I have gotten involved in this mess? “Free Abelyn at once!And stay away from Larry.

Stay away from Joan.

Just live your own life, will you?" Fred tried to persuade her.

Alright then, Larry!Finding my dad to help fight your battle?7How despicable of you! "Dad, I toldyou! Stop worrying over this, I have it under control! There's something else I need to do now, bye!”With that being said, Della hung up instantly.

However, unbeknownst to her, Fred was coughing up blood on the other end due to his angertowards her stubbornness.

"Mr. Duff, are you alright?" one of his housemaids rushed forward in exclamation.

Within minutes, Fred was sent to the hospital.

"Ugh..." What's going on?What's with the sudden headache? Della massaged her forehead in anattempt to relax.

it's probably nothing.
