Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2143

"Yes, yes! I'm fine! The pain just comes about sometimes." Caiden nodded.

What? So is he in pain or not? The confused Joan shot the man a look, suspicion arising in her eyes.

"Alright, stop troubling the doctor. There are so many other patients whom he has to attend to," Caiden remarked as he waved Joan over. The doctor left after a few words.

"Joan, you don't have to be so worried. I can still tolerate the pain," Caiden told her after a moment.

How can he tolerate this! Joan glanced at him sideways.

"Caiden!"

Suddenly, a woman's voice could be heard from outside. While Joan remained calm, Caiden wrapped himself tightly underneath the blanket.

A stranger announced her presence at the entrance. "Caiden, I'm here!"

Huh? Where's my son? The woman's eyes scanned the room quickly, but she only saw Joan.

"Hello, you are..." Joan asked.

"Hello, I'm Caiden's mother. Do you know where he is? I heard he's in this hospital!" The woman looked quite anxious as she conversed with Joan.

She's finally here! Finally! Joan checked the time and realized that it had been a few days before the man's family arrived.

"Ah! So you are Caiden's mother. He's on the bed!" She pointed toward the bed not far away from where she was standing. Huh? Why did he wrap himself up like that? What's going on?

"Caiden? Your mom's here," she said gently as she tapped on the sheets.

However, Caiden remained still underneath.

"Are you saying my son is underneath those sheets?" the woman asked curiously.

"Yes, he's underneath there, lying on the bed. I think he's sleeping." Joan looked at the lump on the bed in disbelief.

I want to see how long you can last in there! It's going to get stuffy soon! I bet you will come out for fresh air soon. She chuckled softly at the thought.

"How should I address you, Miss?" the woman who had just arrived asked.

"I'm Joan Watts. I'm Caiden's senior in school and alumna. He's my savior, actually," she replied with a smile.

"Ah! So you're Caiden's senior. Are you married then? How old are you? Are you attached? What did you study?" The string of questions made Joan feel a little awkward.

Why does it feel like she's doing a background check on me? Also, I shouldn't have to answer these questions, do I? "Ahem!" All of a sudden, Caiden appeared from underneath the sheets.

"Can you please not be so embarrassing when you first meet someone?" he lamented.

Immediately, the woman's gaze turned dark.

I'm just concerned! After all, many women would try to flatter Caiden because of his prominent family background.

"I'm only worried about you. Why are you so rude?" the woman bowed her head and remarked displeasingly.

"Come on! Nobody asks such questions on their first meeting. Also, Joan and I..."

"Alright, alright. It's nothing," Joan interjected to stop Caiden from speaking.

She knew Caiden's mother must have mistaken her for the man's girlfriend. However, they were not like that!

"How do you feel, Caiden? How did you get into an accident? What happened? Tell me what happened. I will track the person who knocked you down!" the man's mother asserted.

What a ridiculous woman. This is a small matter. Furthermore, she can't possibly look for Jaden! Getting into an accident was my original plan, and Jaden was under my instructions anyway. "The driver has fled. There's no way you can track him down. Anyway, what do you want?" Caiden got straight to the point.
