Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2234

Delilah wanted to provoke Joan and remind her of her love for Larry.

What else could be on my mind? I've only been hoping for Caspian's recovery and thinking about Larry's "busy" days at work. Who knew it would all boil down to this.

"Ms. Young, Lucius, please have your dinner. I'll be back soon. Don't you worry." Joan left the house with a few containers of food.

"Grandma, what's Mommy doing? Why is she in a rush?" Lucius asked.

"Oh, your Dad's friend is injured. She needs to take care of him."

"Oh. What about Daddy? He hasn't been home in so long. When is he coming home? I miss him so much," Lucius asked as he stared forlornly at Delilah.

Delilah sighed and gave him a nugget.

I don't know when Larry's going to come home or if Larry and Joan's relationship will ever be the same again.

"Hey, Larry. Where'd you go?" Caspian asked worriedly.

There'll be hell to pay if he isn't back yet.

"Why? Is something wrong?" Larry asked.

"Nothing. I just wanted to know where you were. The situation with Joan is not looking great."

Ah.

"I got it. I'll be at the hospital tonight." Larry hung up.

She doesn't know, right? Even Caspian doesn't know about this. I didn't tell her, so she shouldn't suspect a thing.

A hint of regret flashed through Larry's eyes. I should've told her from the start.

"What's going on?" Jessica asked from beside him.

"Nothing, let's go," Larry replied.

They got off the plane when it was already dark outside. Jessica seemed nervous at her surroundings.

"You can head home first. I'm going to the hospital," Larry announced.

"I'll go with you," Jessica said in a rush. Home? Do I even have a home anymore?

Larry didn't protest, knowing he wouldn't be able to convince her. As he drove to the hospital, however, he couldn't help the guilt that threatened to overwhelm him.

I need to explain all this to Joan.

"Hey, what's going on? Are you ok?" Jessica nudged his elbow in concern.

"It's fine."

The car descended into an awkward atmosphere.

Something must be up, or he wouldn't look so moody. Did Joan replace out? But what else would she do if she found out? Shouldn't they trust each other if their love is true? Maybe Joan threw a fit at Larry. That's quite petty of her, then.

Fewer people were milling around the hospital at his hour. The atmosphere was silent. Even the nurses and doctors took great care to take quiet breaks.

"How is it? Is it good? I made it myself," Joan said as she kept the containers.

"Joan, I'm really not pulling your leg, but this is the best food I've ever tasted in my life! It's even better than anything I've eaten at a Michelin starred restaurant!" Caspian praised.

He wanted to cheer her up and get her mind off Larry and Jessica. The two of them had never engaged in a romantic relationship. It would be a pity if she suspected Larry of cheating on her.

"Ok, you can lay off the praises now. I'll cook for you more often if you really want it," Joan replied.

"I can't trouble you like that, Joan. Larry's going to be pissed at me if he knows you're cooking me for every day," Caspian retorted.

Joan's heart sank. Would he really? I don't think so. Isn't he enjoying the company of another woman now? That woman's younger than me, prettier than me, and has a great personality. She talks like a Disney princess. How can I compete with someone like that?
