Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2138

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable..."

Damn it! I can't reach him when I need him.

Just then, Joan's phone once again rang.

"Are you guys really Mr. Owens' friends? None of you are reachable when he needs you most. I don't care who you are but come to the hospital immediately. I need you to sign the consent form," the doctor demanded coldly and hung up.

A moment earlier, she thought it was only one of Caiden's tricks. Yet, it seemed like there was really no one with him.

She looked at her cooking halfway done in the kitchen and then at her phone. Eventually, she made up her mind and rushed out of the house.

In the hospital, Caiden was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, receiving IV therapy. Joan watched anxiously as the nurse adjusted the IV tube. "Miss, when will he wake up?" Joan asked.

"I'm not sure." Then, the nurse started grumbling, "None of his family nor friends answered our calls, except for you. Still, you dallied to come to the hospital. This concerns the patient's life. Who's going to be responsible if anything happens to him? You or the hospital?"

Feeling embarrassed for being petty-minded earlier, Joan kept her head down. She fixed her eyes at the unconscious man who was lying on the bed, steeped with guilt.

How could he be so careless when he was driving? At the same time, her mind was occupied by the phone call with Larry earlier. Feeling agitated, she unwittingly wrung her hands.

She had promised to bring Larry food and clothes, yet the phone call from the hospital threw her plan astray.

Caiden, wake up! She clasped her hands and prayed.

Meanwhile, Jessica was talking with a doctor in the corridor of the hospital. "Alright. Thank you, doctor. I will be mindful," she said compliantly.

The doctor once again reminded her, "Ms. Zimmer, you should avoid consuming cold food items or drinks, or it might have a toll on your body."

"I got it. Send my regards to your mom." With that, Jessica left.

The woman had a knack for getting easily sick when the seasons changed. It was a chronic condition, which she had gotten used to over the years. Just then, Jessica heard a familiar voice, "Miss, when did he get admitted?"

Isn't that Joan's voice? Jessica walked forward gingerly, following the direction the voice had come from.

In the ward, the nurse answered, "A few hours ago. If his family came earlier, we wouldn't have left him untreated for so long."

Jessica was shocked to hear that. Family? Did I hear it correctly?

She moved closer to the ward and saw a man lying on the bed. The man looked unfamiliar, yet he didn't seem to be an average man to her.

Well, well, I've indeed underestimated Joan. It turns out she has a secret lover! Poor Larry still doesn't know his wife has cheated on him! Upon that discovery, a cold glint flashed across her eyes. Larry was busily going through the documents. For some reason, he looked rather happy as he did so.

Just then, a woman sashayed her way into the office in high heels and commented, "It seems like you're in a good mood today."

"Why are you here again?" he asked coldly.

What is with this unwelcoming attitude? Hmph! Wait till he replaces out about his wife who cuckolded him! Then he'll know he should treat me better.

Ignoring his question, Jessica placed a lunchbox in front of him. "I bet you haven't eaten lunch. Here, I've prepared this for you."

"I don't need it," Larry rejected without even sparing a glance at her.

Tsk tsk tsk! Look how he turned me down. He made it look like I'm begging him to taste my food. Regardless, Jessica put on a good front as she went to sit on the sofa and flipped the documents on the coffee table.

With feigned casualness, she asked, "Don't tell me you're still waiting for your dear Joan?"

Hearing that, Larry paused in his pen. With a serious expression, he looked up at the woman sitting not far away.

"Yes. I'm waiting for my wife," he stated firmly.
