Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2464

"I can handle it by myself," Larry insisted.

"Then, tell me how you're going to resolve the problem. You can barely save yourself now, okay? Don't tell me you're planning to lodge a police report? Considering your intellect, I think you can tell that the police are merely for show without any practical use."

That remark of hers snagged Larry's attention.

She's right in that the police are usually not of much use, but I'm unfamiliar with this place, so what else can I do besides lodging a police report?

"Isn't it good if I resolve it for you?" the woman questioned.

"Why do you want to help me?" Larry demanded bluntly. I'm not going to simply accept help from any Tom, Dick, and Harry without delving further into the possible motives!

"Because I like you."

That single utterance had the eyes of the man in front of her widening even as disdain manifested on his face.

What the hell is happening here? Even in a different country, an unknown woman has fallen in love with me? This must be a dream, yes? Larry immediately thumped his head and pinched his thigh with all his might.

"Ow..." Alas, pain assailed him. Oh God, this is no dream! Rather, it's reality!

"Go and help someone else. I don't need your help," he promptly blurted as he waved a dismissive hand at her.

I'm married, okay? Strictly speaking, while Joan and I haven't remarried yet, it's only a matter of time. Besides, I'll never betray her!

Slowly sashaying toward him, the woman then leaned in close to his ear. "Why, don't you like me?" she asked in a whisper.

Hah! Not only do I not like you, but I'm actually repulsed by you, okay? Larry merely threw her a look without answering her, which in turn conveyed his tacit acquiescence.

"It's okay. Feelings develop over time, anyway. It's enough that I like you," the woman proclaimed confidently.

Jeez, who exactly is she that she has so much confidence to make such a brazen declaration?

"Alright, you go ahead and rest. I'll go and get some medicine for you. Oh yes, don't attempt to escape from this room since there are several bodyguards stationed at the door." As the woman said that, she strode away, her platform heels clicking against the floor.

Ugh! This woman is simply crazy! She couldn't have failed to discern my stance, could she? Larry frowned slightly as he stared at the retreating back.

After some time had passed, he glanced at his watch. She has probably gone far enough, yes? He then quietly crept out of bed and slipped on his shoes before slowly inching to the door. But the moment he opened the door, he was again taken aback.

"Is there something you need, Mr. Norton?" one of the bodyguards inquired in a low voice while bowing to him.

Larry could tell that he was trained at a single glance, so he merely shook his head with a bitter smile and closed the door.

Damn it all to hell! It looks like I've been confined this time! Subsequently, he raced over to the window, only to see that he was on an upper floor. Argh! If I were to jump out, I'd definitely end up splattered on the sidewalk!

"Why, are you contemplating jumping out?" the woman questioned disdainfully as she walked in.

She had anticipated that he wouldn't simply listen to her, so she had taken all precautions from the very beginning itself.

"What exactly is the meaning of this?" Larry snarled, his expression vicious.

"Nothing much. I just want you to rest. That's all," the woman replied.

"I don't know you, so please let me out of here. Otherwise, I'm going to sue you for kidnapping!" Larry snapped.

All at once, the woman before him burst into laughter. Haha, I don't fear anyone or anything in this world!

"You can try it, and we shall see whether the police will believe me or you."

Suddenly, she found him really amusing. No one had ever dared to speak to me in such a manner. Well, he's the first.

Meanwhile, Larry was indeed too weak at that time, so he couldn't quite handle her aggressive attitude.

Ah well, I'll just rest for a while. Lying down on the hospital bed, he slowly closed his eyes.

What's with him now? Is he tired? Or is he sad? Mystified, the woman stared intently at the man who was lying on the hospital bed.
