radio.write verifies a successful transmission?

I am considering using the millis() idea, but I have my own idea I think is worth seeing. I was working on this earlier on paper (my codes are in my school computer):

Intended for Rx

unsigned long commsDelay;

void verifySuccessfulComms(){
   if(commsDelay >= 1000){
      Serial.println("Not available");
   }
}

void loop(){
   if(radio.available()){
   radio.read(msg, &sizeof(msg));
   Serial.println(msg);
   commsDelay = 10;    //while a connection is true
   delay(10);      //commsDelay "won't" increment.
   commsDelay + 10;   //only when no connection does it "truly" add.
   }
   verifySuccessfulComms();
}
