Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2203

"Mm-mm."

"Ms. Young! You're up. Are you feeling better? Does it hurt anywhere?" Joan clutched Delilah's hand in concern.

After Delilah saved her life, they had lived together for a long time. Hence, she thought of Delilah as family and couldn't bear to part with her.

"Look at you. Why are you so worried? I'm fine, aren't I? I was just too tired and wanted to sleep longer. Why did you send me to the hospital? Don't do that again, you hear? I was only sleeping, mind you," Delilah pinched her cheeks and chided.

Seeing how Delilah had regained her energy, Joan couldn't conceal her delight. She didn't mind being rebuked by Delilah as long as the latter was healthy.

"Ms. Young, you have no idea what a scare you gave us last night," Dustin strode over and declared.

Oh, so he's the one who sent me here. I thought it was Larry. Delilah sighed in disappointment as something flickered in her gaze.

No matter how busy he is, he should at least take Joan's feelings into account. She reckoned that Joan must've called Dustin after failing to contact Larry.

After all, she knew Joan too well. Larry was the top priority in the latter's life.

"Hey, I'm starving. Why don't you head out to buy some food?" Delilah turned to Dustin and suggested.

"Oh, sure. Wait a minute, didn't Larry go earlier?" Dustin returned.

"I don't like his preference. He's going to buy some oily stuff again. I want to eat a simple sandwich," Delilah replied on purpose.

Joan immediately understood that Delilah was trying to send Dustin away to talk to her in private.

"Dustin, since Ms. Young wants to eat some sandwiches, please help and buy a few. Also, help me get some coffee," she told Dustin. "Alright, got it." Dustin stood up and hurried out of the ward.

He would always dash to carry out Joan's requests.

Now that only Joan and Delilah were left in the ward, they gazed at each other silently, as if they were trying to guess each other's thoughts.

"Why was it Dustin instead of Larry?" Finally, the woman in bed spoke.

"I tried calling Larry last night, but he didn't pick up. You were pale and didn't answer to our calls, so I got scared and called Dustin instead," revealed Joan.

Hmm, I must've been too exhausted last night.

"Don't worry. I just needed some rest. Look, I'm fine now." Delilah waved her arms.

Joan knew Delilah was forcing a smile to placate her.

"Ms. Young, you're up." Just then, Larry strode into the ward. "Here, I've bought some breakfast. I didn't know what you want, so I bought a little of everything." He handed the food he bought to them. Larry had bought a spread of everything available.

"Mr. Norton, you must be terribly busy. Do you really have time to visit me? I thought you're going to sleep in your company every day?" chided Delilah.

Larry knew that her words were spoken for Joan's sake. But he had no choice as he needed to handle everything himself. Otherwise, a slight mistake might affect his company's reputation. "Of course not, Ms. Young. I'm just a little busy lately," Larry tried explaining.

"Yeah, you're so busy to the point where you don't even have time to answer your phone," came Delilah's reply.
