Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2489

"Do you need anything? If not, you'd better go back to your own room,” Larry stated flatly. “Tell

Caspian if you want to eat anything, and he'll get it for you.”

What a joke. I don't need to be served by your men. She whipped around and stormed off.

As soon as she left the room, Larry's movement slowed to a halt, an exasperated expression on his

face as he sighed heavily.

Maybe it was truly about time that he went home. The sky outside soon darkened, and the staff and

patients in the hospital were all starting to turn in for the night.

“What the hell are you doing?” Caspian whispered furiously.

“Quiet!” Larry demanded. “Take what you need and follow me!”

They passed by the wards, navigated their way through corridors, and crossed the hospital yard to

eventually arrive at the main entrance.

Are we running away? Caspian stared at the man in front of him with an equal mix of wariness and

shock. He would have never thought there'd come a day where Larry would stoop to such extreme,

pitiful measures.

“Come on, don't fall behind. If Della finds out, she won't let us leave,” Larry muttered.

Oh. Larry had a point. She'd always been determined to stop them from leaving this country, so

Caspian could understand why Larry had chosen to leave like this. After all, this was not their

homeland. They didn't have enough men on their side to be able to handle Della.

All the lights in the hospital suddenly flickered to life, momentarily blinding both men. “Where do

you think you're going?”

Damn it. Caspian stood frozen, hanging his head in disappointment.

Wasn't she supposed to be in bed and sleeping right now? Larry clenched his jaw as he stared down

Della, who stood off in the distance and was blocking their way out.

He didn't want to fight her, but he didn't want to date her either. Becoming business partners was

fine by him. Becoming lovers, on the other hand, was impossible.

“I can't believe you're trying to escape in such... unsightly fashion.” Della unhurriedly walked

towards them. Her voice was still a little throaty, likely from having not fully recovered yet. “This isn't

like you, Larry.”

“I openly expressed wanting to leave, and you openly tried to stop me from doing so. You left me

with no choice,” Larry shrugged.

How absurd of them to think that she would fail to get what she wanted, regardless of whether it

was through open, public methods, or under-handed, petty ways.

“So? What are you going to do now that I've caught you red-handed? Are you still going to try and

run?”

Run? Where else were they supposed to run to now that things had reached this point? Caspian

turned his nose up at the woman before him, swallowing his rage back down.

"We'll stay, we'll stay. Come on, Larry. Let's go back to our rooms and rest.” As he said so, Caspian

made to shove Larry in the direction of his room.

“What are you talking about?” Larry barked. “I'm not tired at all!”

"We'll talk about this later!” Caspian insisted under his breath. “Don’t humiliate yourself in public like

this!”

Della clicked her tongue in irritation, watching the two men slowly disappear from her sight. I can't

believe he dared to try and escape! That's it. I'm not playing nice anymore.

“Hello?” she spoke into her phone receiver. “Increase staff members to keep an eye on Larry. Don't

let him leave the hospital at all costs.”

“Let go of me!” Larry finally managed to push Caspian away after they'd arrived back at his hospital

ward.

"Are you stupid, Larry? If Della could anticipate our movements and stop us when she did, she

would have obviously stationed guards at the entrance!” Caspian reminded him. “We couldn't have

gotten out even if we tried!”

Larry had indeed forgotten about that part. His mind had been filled with images of Joan's face,

causing him to be physically unable to think about anything else other than her.

“If we can’t run away, we might as well sit still and wait. It's not like we have much waiting for us to

do back in our country.”

What is he talking about? Does he not miss Jessica? Larry stared at his friend curiously.

“I know you miss Joan, but do you really think that this thing between you and Della would be over

just because you manage to leave this place? Of course not! That's why I'd rather you resolve this

problem with her so we can all go home happily with no regrets or loose ends left untied.”
