Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2144

He never once believed that this woman was kind-hearted enough to visit him at the hospital.

However, the truth was that she was indeed concerned about her son.

"I panicked when I heard that you had gotten into an accident. That's why I rushed over."

This was the truth, no matter whether Caiden believed it or not. The woman knew her son had lived with his grandmother since young. This was also why he was never close to her or her husband. It was thus normal that Caiden did not like to go home and was defiant against his parents.

"Well, Mrs. Owens, since you're here, you can keep Caiden company tonight. I shall head home then. Is that fine?" Joan looked towards the man as she spoke.

What? No. I shall not make it that easy for you. Even if my mother is here, I will not let you leave the hospital!

"My mom is only here to visit for a while. She has another engagement in the evening, right?" Caiden turned his head and stared at his mother, his eyes daring her to disagree.

Feeling his fierce glare on her, his mother piped up, "Ah? Yes, yes. I'll only be here for a while. I have some work to settle at night. I shall take my leave then. Call me if anything!" The woman then walked out of the ward.

Wait... What's going on? Her son is badly injured! How can she leave like that? I can't believe she walked out. Doesn't she want to care for her son? Joan was growing increasingly frustrated.

Initially, she had thought that she could head home earlier when his mother showed up. She never expected the woman to not play any role in this.

"I will come again tomorrow. I really have something going on tonight," the woman repeated as she stole a glance at Joan.

Who isn't busy? Lucius, Larry, and Ms. Young are all important people to attend to. However, I value Caiden's welfare more than anything too! I can't believe this is happening!

Joan clenched her fists secretly, feeling disappointed and angry.

"What's up? Are you upset? My mom is always like that. Don't mind her." Caiden waved goodbye to his mother as he spoke.

Don't mind her? I want to go home. I have plans! Now, I can't do so because she's not around to take care of you.

Needless to say, Caiden's mother could sense that her son liked this girl. She could also tell that he had not confessed his feelings to Joan yet. Hence, she decided to leave and give them some room. Caiden suddenly remarked, "Joan, I feel like eating fish tonight." Joan immediately turned vexed upon hearing that.

"Ms. Young, why is Joan still not back? It's getting late." Larry paced up and down in the living room anxiously.

Delilah looked outside, glancing at the sky. It was indeed very dark.

This girl can be a headache at times. She's always flippant with her plans. To make things worse, she doesn't pick up her calls or answers her text messages. Where is she now? "She might have an emergency to attend to," Delilah replied as she smiled sheepishly.

She herself did not know what Joan had been busy with recently either. However, she knew she had to cover up for her in front of Larry. No one wanted them to argue.

"It's fine. She might just be busy. Why don't you get some sleep?" Delilah suggested.

Surely he would not be happy if Joan returned very late.

"Grandma, where is Mom? Why does she always come home so late recently?" Lucius suddenly walked out of the room, rubbing his eyes.

Instantly, Larry's expression went dark. So this isn't the first time then.

"What are you talking about, Lucius? Larry, don't listen to him. He must be tired." Delilah hurriedly nudged the boy back into his room as she spoke.

As he watched the duo's reaction, Larry thought of something. He picked up his phone and dialed Joan's number.

As he had expected, nobody picked up.

Meanwhile, Caiden was enjoying the fish Joan had made him for dinner. The man had insisted on it!

"Joan, you make the best food!" He gave her a thumbs-up and laughed.
