A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2780

"Joan, you can go back. I'm totally fine now, so don't bother about me." On the other hand, Dustin seemed somewhat eager for Joan to leave, as he would not want Larry to misunderstand if he found out.

"It's fine. I would be bored at home too." Joan replied with a faint smile.

In fact, she was trying to compensate him.

"Alright, you lie down for a while. I'll go take some hot water." Upon saying that, she grabbed the thermos flask. The second she stepped out of the ward, she noticed Larry standing not far away.

Joan's face was filled with utter awkwardness instantly. "Larry, why are you here?"

Right. If I am not here, how would I find out that you're with Dustin? What a joke! I work my heart out for you every day, yet you are taking care of another man. Such an irony!

"I came to visit that patron." Larry pointed at the ward nearby.

"I see. She has not wakened." Joan sounded desolate. In fact, she would check on that patron every day, but she did not know that she had actually wakened up.

"Is it?" Larry let out a smile. "I got to go. See you later." Upon saying that, he turned to leave.

Staring at Larry's back figure, Joan's heart sank to the bottom. Forget it. I'll explain to him later.

"Joan, was that Larry?" Back in the ward, Dustin asked in a low voice.

"Yes..."

"You should go and explain to him."

Joan merely smiled stiffly without a word.

Eventually, Joan did not explain it to Larry, and Larry never brought it out before her. Their life seemed normal like before; it was just that the topic between them became lesser and lesser.

"Mom!" The moment Lucius reached home, he hopped right into Joan's embrace and kissed her chin deeply. "Mom, I miss you so much."

Indeed, she had been busy taking care of Dustin these few days, and also trying hard to find new evidence. Naturally, she would not have enough time to care for her kid.
