Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2882
Fred might have told her about their company’s condition. However, there was a huge probability that he had yet to reveal his actual physical condition to his beloved daughter.
After all, no parent would want their child to worry about them.
However, it might be too late should he continue keeping her in the dark.
Larry narrowed his eyes and looked out the window, wondering if he should tell Della everything about Fred.
Della tapped on his shoulder and asked, “Larry, is something bothering you?”
“Are you aware of your father’s actual condition?” he replied with another question.
When she heard him, she lowered her gaze. She recalled that the maids had once vaguely mentioned something about her father’s condition. Does Larry know about it?
After she took a deep breath to gather her thoughts, she mustered her courage and asked in a determined tone, “Larry, can you tell me everything you know about my father’s condition?”
Great! That’s the way she’s supposed to behave as the heiress of a renowned family! No matter what is in store for her, she should brace herself for the upcoming challenges!
“Alright, I’ll tell you everything.” Having said that, he headed over and took a seat next to her.
Staring at the duo in the living room, Joan’s mind was all over the place, but it wasn’t because Larry was sitting next to another woman. Instead, she was anxious on Della’s behalf.
Although they had merely been together for some time, she knew that he wouldn’t put on such a serious front unless it was a big deal.
“No way! What kind of joke is this?”
All of a sudden, Della sprang up from her seat and yelled, “My father’s a healthy man! He has only been coughing!”
“Della, coughing is merely one of the many symptoms of his illness. To be precise, it’s something much more serious than just coughing.”
Although she knew that Larry wouldn’t lie to her, she had a hard time embracing the truth. In fact, she even wished that it was merely a lie.
She stuttered her reply, “L-Larry, tell me you have been lying! You’re merely trying to intimidate me, aren’t you? I promise you that I’ll work hard from now onwards! Please tell me it’s a lie!”
No! Larry must be lying to me! I’m sure Dad is fine! Immediately after she retrieved her bag on the couch, she catapulted in the direction of the entrance.
When she was merely one step away from the entrance, Larry yelled, “Della, can you stop deceiving yourself? You know better than anyone else that I have been telling the truth!”
Joan rushed over to his side and grasped his arm, urging with an anxious look, “There’s no need to be so harsh to her. Can’t you talk about it nicely?”
Della slumped against the couch and lowered her head, her eyes brimming with tears. Weeping, she made up her mind to pull herself together and support her father on the road to recovery.
After she wiped her tears dry, she announced, “Larry, I’ll get the best doctor in the industry to tend to him! I will try everything I can to turn the tables around!”
Larry heaved a sigh of relief and responded with a proud grin. That’s the Della I know! Truth be told, he had always known that she was a good person in nature.
Larry took note of her request and advised, “I’ll try to help, but you need to keep in mind that you’re the only one your father can rely on. So please stop infuriating him from now onwards.”
By then, Della had made up her mind to turn over a new leaf and stop acting recklessly. After she gathered her thoughts, she grabbed her bag and left.
Thump!
When someone pushed the door open and barged into the living room, Fred, who happened to be sitting on the couch, had the shock of his life.
What is wrong with her? Why does she seem so anxious? Confused, Fred had his eyes glued to Della who was standing at the entrance.
“Dad.” Once Della rushed over to Fred’s side, she took a seat next to him.
He turned around and looked at her, asking anxiously, “What’s wrong?”
Della enunciated her reply determinedly, “Dad, I want to learn the proper way to manage the company!”
