Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2357

Joan did not know Nancy had given birth to a daughter. Caspian called Larry to deliver the news, but the latter had no intention of returning home for the party.

“Larry, are you sure you’re not coming for the baby shower?”

It was pointless to ask since Larry would never change his mind.

“Positive. I haven’t found the shareholder and I’m a little tied up here.”

Before he hung up, Caspian said, “Larry, where are you? I’ll go over and meet you.”

Larry immediately refused. He had to stay low. The fewer people involved, the fewer complications.

On the other hand, Joan was still recuperating in the hospital. She thought Larry had given up on her completely, but she didn’t know he would call Abigail almost every night to ask about her condition.

“Larry, why don’t you come and visit instead of asking me every day? I have my personal life too, you know.”

Larry was incredulous by her revelation.

“Hey, what’s your name? You never told me.” He realized he had forgotten to ask.

“My name is Abigail,” she replied.

A smile of satisfaction crept across his face when he heard such a meaningful name.

He finally understood why Joan adored that girl so much. Abigail’s personality and mindset were somewhat similar to hers.

“Abigail, thank you for staying by her side all this while. I’m a little busy at the moment, but I promise I’ll treat you to a meal someday. You can eat whatever you want.” He needed her help.

It never occurred to Larry that he would ask a teenage girl for a favor, but he acknowledged the cruel reality. He needed to prioritize his search for the shareholder, so he had to leave Joan under Abigail’s care, especially when she refused to see him.

“All right, then. Don’t worry, I’ll take a good care of her,” she agreed readily.

He was relieved to have a reliable helper.

After a brief conversation, they hang up.

In the ward, Joan looked out the window in a daze. There was sadness in her eyes.

“Joan, what are you thinking about?” Abigail whispered as she entered the room. She tried to be as gentle as possible, just like Larry instructed.

He said that she needed to be extra careful so Joan would rest well.

“Oh, nothing. Are you hungry? Shall we grab a bite outside?”

Abigail let out a chuckle. She knew Joan was actually thinking about Larry again.

“If you miss Larry, why don’t you call him?” she reminded her.

Call him? No way! I would never forget the day he left me without a word. Joanclutched the blanket to hide her anxiety.

Abigail was trying hard not to laugh. She knew Joan was lying in her face.

“Why can’t you admit your true feelings? I’m sure it’s killing you,” she teased.

“Go and get something to eat already. Don’t be a busybody!”

“Geez, it’s nothing embarrassing. You’re not a kid anymore.” Abigail gave her a sly look.

“Hey, can you buy me some dumplings?”

Joan blushed and changed the topic immediately. The girl could read her like a book!
