A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2727

“Don't overwork yourself then...” she said.

The pair exchanged a few more simple words before hanging up.

I have to figure some things out first. Larry placed his phone on the table then lit a cigarette as he pondered.

A long while later, he picked up his phone again and gave Della a call.

“Hello? Her voice sounded rather weak.

He blew out a puff of smoke then asked softly, “Where are you?” “The hospital, she replied calmly, as if nothing had happened.

Upon hearing her reply, his body unconsciously trembled.

“Why are you in the hospital?” he asked, testing the waters.

“I was harmed by someone. My body's not feeling good,” she replied plainly. However, anger had long risen in her heart. Damn you, Joan! I'd never have become like this if it weren't for you!

“Harmed by who?” he asked. He put out his cigarette as he waited for a reply.

“Aren't you asking the obvious? Just tell me why you're looking for me,” she said impatiently.

“It's nothing. I just wanted to ask when you'd be back.”

Go back? Why should I? What would I do back there? Watch you and that woman be affectionate? Or let myself be left alone with no one to care about me? What a joke!

“I don't want to go back. Otherwise, when I really lose my life, I won't even know how it happened,” she said, her voice mixed with some helplessness and inquiry.

Did Joan really hurt her? Larry clenched his fist tightly, feeling very uneasy. He was hollow-eyed and felt exhausted by the situation.

“How are you now?” he asked worriedly.

Of course, his concern was merely that of a friend's.

“You don't need to care about me. Just keep your wife in line!”

Her words left Larry feeling very uncertain.
