Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2139

"You shouldn't wait anymore. She won't come. Who knows what she's doing behind your back? Perhaps she's busy with her dirty deeds." Jessica had gone too far, yet she was totally unaware of herself being rude.

Sitting behind his desk, Larry was pulling a long face. The man was obviously angry at her rude remarks.

He uttered bluntly, "Ms. Zimmer, I hope you think twice before you say anything. Don't you think you're too unmannerly for a lady who comes from a respectable family?"

He hated it when people bad-mouthed Joan. She might have done something wrong, yet no one but he had the right to criticize her.

Disregarding his warning, Jessica continued to provoke him, "What, you still don't know about it? Didn't she tell you that she's busy taking care of another man? Oh, Larry, she doesn't have the time to bother about you."

What is she talking about? There are no other men at home. Well, Lucius is still a boy.

Larry rose to his feet. "What are you trying to say?"

"I see you're mad. It seems like she didn't tell you, huh? I'd better not get myself involved in this. I'm leaving now." With that, Jessica left Larry's office.

What's going on? Where is Joan? What is she doing right now? Didn't she promise to come to my office?

Feeling worried, Larry made a call to Caspian. "Caspian, I need you to go and look for Joan," he ordered coldly.

Meanwhile, Caspian felt unsettled when he received the order. Did something happen to Joan?

The man's features were laced with worry as he drove his car to carry out the instruction.

After hanging up, Larry called Joan more than ten times. To his disappointment, the woman didn't answer any of his calls.

Gloom veiled his face as he hurled his phone onto the sofa. There was a murderous look in his eyes.

Meanwhile, in the hospital. The nurse shoved a small plastic bag full of medicine into Joan's arms. "Here, this is the patient's medicine. Three times a day according to their dosages. Come and look for me when he finishes them."

Just then, the man lying on the bed called her softly, "Joan."

Hearing his voice, Joan turned around and walked closer to his bedside.

"Do you feel better now?" she asked with her voice full of concern.

After all, Caiden had saved her life before. She couldn't help feeling worried about him when he got injured.

"Joan, why are you here?" Caiden asked feebly, though there was a hint of smugness shining in his eyes.

"The doctor called me, saying he couldn't contact any others on your contact list, so he asked me to come to the hospital. You shouldn't move around. Tell me what you need, and I'll help you with it." With that, Joan made Caiden lie down on the bed when the latter tried to sit up.

"I need some water," he requested. "I haven't drunk any the entire night."

"Alright, I'll go get some warm water for you. Wait here, and don't move around," Joan once again reminded him before walking out of the ward.

"Arghh-"

Outside the ward, a patient holding a thermos flask ran into her. At that instant, Joan's arm was scalded by the hot water, causing a small area of her skin to blister almost immediately.

The patient immediately apologized, "Oh no, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it."

"It's fine," Joan said with suppressed emotions.

Having seen everything that had happened, Caiden bellowed at the patient, "Hey, are you blind? Watch where you're going! Didn't you see someone walking in front of you?"

Then, the man struggled to get down from the bed and slowly made his way toward Joan.

"Are you alright? Does it hurt a lot?" he asked worriedly. His heart ached to see the painful blisters on her arm.

"I'm fine. You shouldn't get out of bed. Don't worry. It's nothing serious." With that, Joan helped Caiden to the bed and made him lie down.

At that moment, Caiden couldn't help feeling dejected when she tried to stay strong and hide her injury from him. She was always considerate, and she wouldn't afford him the chance to take care of her.
