Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2353

How did things get like this? I came to explain about Jessica and me, yet she drove me out.

"Uh..."

Suddenly, he felt sick.

Sh*t, it must be the gastritis. Larry clutched his stomach in pain as he leaned against the wall to relieve the pain.

"Larry, are you okay? Are you feeling sick anywhere?" The girl stumbled upon him.

She turned around to replace get help, but he stopped her. "Wait! Don't tell Joan about this." he said.

Seriously? The girl shook her head before leaving the scene.

"Mr. Norton, your digestive system isn't that good. Are you taking any medication?" the doctor asked as he looked at Larry worriedly.

It was a chronic ailment that was unknown to Joan. Moreover, the drinking and chain-smoking during their fallout worsened his condition.

"I did. I just forgot to bring the pills with me on this trip," he answered with embarrassment. It pained the girl to see him in agony.

"I'll write you a prescription. Take them on time, or else you'll trigger other illnesses." The doctor left to arrange for his medication. "How could you fall ill, Larry? How am I gonna entrust Joan to you when you can't even take care of yourself?" teased the girl. This brat... Larry looked at her, a small smile plastered across his face.

"Fine. Go on. Keep mocking me." He eyed her with dissatisfaction.

"I was joking. Anyway, I hope you get well soon because I won't be taking care of your wife for you."

After a while, in Joan's ward. "What? Larry fainted?"

"Yes. Why do you sound so shocked? I thought you don't care about him?" the girl retorted.

When did I say that? Larry was the first man Joan had fallen in love with, and he probably would be the only man she would ever love. How could she not care about him? "How is he now? Is he okay?"

"I heard he's had it for quite some time now. His digestive system isn't that good. I believe it has something to do with his mood. He also hasn't been eating much lately." Could it be my fault? Have I upset him too much? Joan felt a bit guilty. I have to see him!

"Let's go see him," she announced, already trying to get out of bed.

"Wait, no. He has specifically instructed me not to tell you. Won't I be deemed as a traitor if you see him now? Let's do that after a few days." The girl patted Joan's shoulder. Truthfully, there was no need to wait for days because Larry definitely would worry if he didn't see her.

"What are you two talking about? You seem thrilled," His voice suddenly rang as he entered the ward, pretending to be healthy.

"Oh, you're here. I'll take my leave." The girl turned to leave, fearing Joan would expose her. Before that happens, I better scram first!

She strode past Larry with a cheeky smile and shut the door.

"Um, where were you?" Joan feigned ignorance.

"I went to have lunch 'cause I was hungry." He stroked his stomach.

Knowing what he was hiding from her, Joan's heart ached as she observed him.

"I see. Are you full now?"

"Yeah. What about you? Are you hungry? Do you want me to buy food for you?"
