Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1903

Chapter 1903 Murmurs At Night

“The child has such a terrible fate. First, his parents abandoned him, and he was bullied by the other kids in the village. Now…” said Delilah between sobs.

Joan understood how Delilah felt, so she held the latter’s hand to try to make her feel better.

“Dustin said that his mentor is back, Ms. Young. He will treat Lucius in person, so you don’t need to worry. Lucius will be fine because Dustin’s mentor is the best doctor in this hospital,” shared Joan confidently.

Delilah wiped her tears away immediately, and hope gleamed in her eyes.

“Mom….”

Joan hurried over to the bed to see how Lucius was doing.

“Mom, where is Dad?” asked Lucius. He had forced his eyes open, but when he checked his surroundings, he saw that only his mom and grandma were with him.

“Be good, Lucius. We’ll video call your dad right now, okay?” suggested Joan while gently stroking Lucius’ hair.

The child seemed exhausted and could only nod.

Joan quickly fished her phone out and opened WhatsApp to make the call.

“Hey, Larry!” greeted Joan.

Larry, however, had a grouchy expression when he picked up the call.

“What?” asked Larry coldly.

Joan was a little surprised when she saw how distant Larry reacted. What happened to him? Is he angry because I went overseas without telling him beforehand?

“Mom, are you in a fight with Dad?” asked Lucius suddenly.

Upon hearing Lucius’ voice, Larry looked into the camera.

“Lucius, it’s all good. I’m just a little busy. Why would we be in a fight?” replied Larry with a smile.

He thought that he was having a private call with Joan, so his tone was off earlier. This is all her fault for not calling before she left the country.

Gah! And she left with Dustin, of all people!

“Don’t worry, Dad. I will keep an eye on Mom for you,” said Lucius mischievously.

Larry was stunned, but he was quick to regain his composure.

This little punk sure grows up fast…

After exchanging some pleasantries, the duo ended the call.

“Hey Mom, you can come out now. We ended the call,” announced Lucius loudly.

Only then did Joan get out of the washroom.

She was worried that something would happen to Lucius while he was sleeping, so she stayed overnight in the hospital room and slept on the sofa. However, she had never expected that Lucius would use a phone to record her murmurs in the middle of the night.

Joan’s face was burning red at that moment.

“Have you deleted that recording?” asked Joan cautiously.

“Nope. I forwarded it to Dad,” answered the kid calmly.
