Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2227

You shouldn’t have gone out for a stroll in the middle of the night! I don’t get it! Do you enjoy torturing yourself?

“No! Wake up now!” Delilah made her way to the kitchen after repeating herself.

Larry needs to reflect upon his actions as well! As a man, shouldn’t he tolerate his wife even though she’s the one at fault? He needs to stop pretending he’s occupied. He has been using the same excuse over and over again! It’s about time for him to return home!

To be honest, I have no idea what’s going on between the duo! Forget it. I’ll just make myself something to eat! At that thought, the woman in the kitchen started preparing her meal.

After scanning the surroundings, Jessica murmured, “I’m glad we managed to make it in time. If we had to send Joan home, we might have to take the next available flight because we wouldn’t be able to make it to the airport in time.”

Larry’s expression darkened instantly.

Will Joan get jealous after seeing us together last night?

“What’s bothering you? Have you regretted your decision? If that’s the case, you can still change your mind and make your way back,” Jessica deliberately brought up the suggestion.

Is that even possible? How can I leave when we have reached our destination?

“Alright, alright. Just figure out the proper procedure to bring your late parents’ remains back.”

“Actually, I don’t plan to bring them back with me because they once said that they preferred to be buried at sea. My mother had always loved the ocean, and my father would definitely want to keep my mother company,” Jessica shared her plan with Larry.

Did she sort out everything beforehand? Does that mean she had long decided to let her late parents rest in peace abroad?

“Shall we get going? The director is still waiting for us.” Jessica walked ahead of Larry once she finished her sentence.

Everyone in the hospital seemed to be in a great mood with joy written all over their faces, perhaps because of the great weather or their improving condition.

The director said empathetically, “I have been waiting for you. Here are your parents’ remains. They passed on peacefully and hoped you would move on without them. Jessica, promise me to take good care of yourself. If you want to stay here, you can do so for as long as you like. I’ll treat you as my own daughter.”

The caring director seemed to be on good terms with the Zimmer family, especially Jessica.

After Jessica took over the remains of her parents, she answered, “Thanks, I’ll be fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Suddenly, the man next to her asked in disbelief, “Are you sure you’re leaving them here?”

When the director heard Larry’s question, she interrupted their conversation and said, “Jessica, they would prefer you to bring them back to your country.”

Jessica asked, “Have you heard them mentioning that?”

“We used to talk about it, and they told me they had to travel abroad because they didn’t have a choice. Therefore, I’m certain they would prefer to have you bring them back.”

It turns out that they only traveled abroad to avoid unnecessary conflict. Ironically, the cause of the conflict was the termination of the collaboration with Norton Corporation.

All this shouldn’t have occurred, yet life always has its way to get the better of us.

“Alright, I’ll keep that in mind,” Jessica replied.

Larry remained silent as he stood right next to her throughout their conversation.

Perhaps companion was all she needed. After all, nothing he said could alleviate the grief she felt. It was such a pity that Caspian was grounded in the hospital when Jessica needed him by her side.

Suddenly, Jessica expressed her gratitude, “Thank you so much for keeping me company and making the trip with me.”

Deep down, Larry only considered it just another trivial favor that would serve as the foundation of their collaboration in the future. He was certain that she would never give in to fate. Although she might not inherit her father’s business, she would still make a name for herself.

Humans would resort to all kinds of extreme countermeasures to tackle difficult situations. More often than not, that would also be the time they discovered their limits.

Jessica asked with a confused look, “Aren’t you afraid of Joan getting jealous if she finds out that you have traveled abroad with me?”

Is Joan going to be jealous? She’s not going to throw a tantrum over such a trivial matter, is she? I mean, she has always been such an understanding woman.
