Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2796

Cruel Fate

Joan turned to look out the window, ignoring the man beside her.

Filled with fear, he roared at her. "Do you still want to live?"

He was restless, but Joan remained silent as though she couldn't hear him. She knew that if something were to happen to her, Larry would never spare this man.

Finally, the car stopped because there was no way forward anymore.

The man was mortified when he saw nothing but water in front of him. He instantly dragged Joan out of the car and held her in an iron grip. Larry, Caspian, and the rest caught up soon after. "Let her go!" Larry roared, getting increasingly impatient.

"Stay right there!" The man kept retreating, looking as though he was about to plunge into the sea. Left without a choice, Larry finally stopped moving forward.

"Don't force my hand!" The man was at his wits' end. He merely wanted to make a fortune and never expected things to escalate to this point.

"Stay still! It's too dangerous!" Larry extended his right hand and cautioned loudly, but at that moment, the man seemed to be a prisoner of his own mind as he drowned in remorse and despair. At last, both of them fell into the sea with a loud splash.

"Joan!" Larry made a mad dash forward with terror gripping his heart. His men immediately flew into action, jumping into the sea one after another to look for Joan.

You can't die, Joan! You can't! Larry swam in the sea in search of her with tears rolling down his cheeks. It had been so many years since he shed a tear.

There was still no trace of Joan even after a long time.

"Larry, you can't swim any further!" Caspian shouted while holding him back. Before them was the middle of the sea, which was extremely dangerous. There was probably no hope of surviving if a person swam out there alone.

Larry abruptly slapped Caspian and growled, "Don't stop me! I need to replace Joan!"

Caspian became frantic and wrapped his arms tightly around Larry, allowing the latter to curse and hit him as much as he wanted. Gradually, the sky darkened and they swam to shore.

Larry and Caspian sat on the beach, staring at the sea as sorrow washed over them.

"Larry! Caspian!" Suddenly, Jessica rushed over.

Both men were not in the mood to entertain her and kept their eyes trained ahead, lost in thought.

Looking at their icy expressions, Jessica understood that something had happened to Joan.

"Where is she?" she asked worriedly.

Caspian bowed his head and answered with regret, "We couldn't replace her." Jessica's knees gave out beneath her and she plopped onto the sand. With grief lining her features, tears escaped the corner of her eyes.

How can this world be so complicated? She was just a defenseless woman, yet she was subjected to such a cruel fate!

Unable to handle the distress, she fell into Caspian's arms and started sobbing.

Larry sat on the beach until two in the morning but showed no sign of leaving any time soon. Probably tired from crying, Jessica had fallen asleep in Caspian's arms.

"C'mon, Larry. Let's go back," Caspian suggested with a pat on his shoulder.

"I'm going to wait here for Joan to come back," Larry replied firmly.

Wait? She's already dead! Lifting his head to the sky, Caspian closed his eyes and inhaled a deep breath to regain his composure before advising, "Larry, you still need to take care of Ms. Young and Lucius at home."

No. I want to take care of Joan. Nothing is more important than her! Larry shook his head adamantly and stopped speaking altogether.

"Larry! Pull yourself together. Joan is dead! She is dead! But are you really going to give up on us just like that?" Caspian was livid. He knew that Larry loved Joan very much, but he also knew that Joan hated it when he retreated into himself like that.

"What the hell do you know?"

Larry flung his hand away and bit his lower lip until he tasted blood. Caspian was angered by the blank and lonely look in his eyes, but more than that, he was heartbroken.
