Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2348

"Hey, we're done here!" Joan yelled loudly.

"That was quick? The doctor said your surgery is scheduled on the next Sunday."

Joan shuddered at the news. She was terrified of surgeries. Something might go wrong during the procedure. And she didn't want to leave Larry, Delilah, Lucius, and her travel buddy, Abigail. She sniffled at the depressing thought.

"Everything will be fine. I'm here with you." Larry clasped her hand in his.

Her fear propelled him to halt his search for the long-lost shareholder of Norton Corporation and kept her company.

"Larry, I..." she stuttered with a pained expression.

Abigail slipped out of the room and gently shut the door behind her. She knew they needed to be alone.

Larry sat on the bed and wrapped his arms around Joan to offer her some warmth and comfort.

"Come now. Don't scare yourself. You'll be fine." He patted her back gently.

Really? Will my surgery really go smoothly?

Joan stared at him solemnly.

"Larry, whatever happens in the future, take good care of Ms. Young, Lucius, and... yourself... You are the most important people in my life."

These are my last words.

Larry pinched her cheeks with glee in his eyes. She still cares about me!

"What you're talking about? Everything'll be fine. Like I said, I'll be right here by your side, so just leave everything to me." Larry tightened his grasp on her hand. Who could predict the future? I might lose my life during the procedure.

"Larry, what happens... if... I die?" Joan wept.

Silly girl! She keeps scaring herself over a minor surgery to fix her fracture.

"Joan, don't say such things. I don't allow it. I've told you that nothing bad will happen to you." Larry fixed his gaze determinedly at her.

His words were the greatest encouragement.

"Larry, tell me. Did you divorce me because you don't love me anymore?"

What kind of question is this? When have I stopped loving her? I will only love her in this life.

"Then do you still love me?" Larry retorted with another question.

"I asked you first, answer me!" she scolded.

"Alright, stop yelling. Quickly, ready yourself. The doctor has rescheduled your surgery to today," a nurse said as she entered.

The fear in Joan intensified. She wrapped her arms tightly around Larry's waist with no intention of letting go.

"Alright. You should get ready." Larry patted her shoulder.

But I don't want to be pushed into the operating theater. Her eyes were brimming with tears.

Joan dragged her feet by chatting with Larry for quite a while. Finally, she was wheeled out of her ward into the operating theater.

"Joan, be strong. Everything will be fine. It's just a minor surgery," Abigail comforted gently.

"You're right." Joan ruffled her head.

The surgeons were busy in the operating theater. Larry paced nervously along the hallway while Abigail stared intently at the doors of the operating theater. The red light above the doors was on for a long time. What was supposed to be a minor procedure seemed to take forever on this day.

"Larry, is there a complication?" Abigail worried.
