Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2145

Joan felt incredibly awkward as she sat in the ward. She knew it was getting late. It was time to call Delilah.

She took her phone and walked out of the ward.

As she disappeared from the room, a flash of worry appeared in Caiden's eyes.

Is she talking to Ms. Young or Larry? Caiden tried his best to eavesdrop on her conversation.

"Hello, Ms. Young, I have something to attend to tonight. I can't go back," Joan said softly.

"Oh, finally! You called! Look at how many calls I've made to you! How can you only call me back now? Larry is home. He has been waiting for you. You should come back soon. He doesn't look too happy. You two should really talk," Delilah quickly responded.

Wait, why's he home all of a sudden? Joan felt her heart racing. What should I do now? Should I go home? What if something happens to Caiden here?

After some thought, she still decided not to head back.

"Ms. Young, I really have something on tonight. I can't go home," Joan insisted.

What's going on with this girl? What's so serious that she can't come home, especially to the extent that she doesn't want to meet Larry?

"Joan, tell me what happened," Delilah demanded sternly.

How am I supposed to reply? Joan hesitated.

"It's nothing, Ms. Young. I will explain everything when I'm back. Just let Larry know I won't be home tonight." Then, she hung up.

Perhaps, she really did not know how to respond to Delilah's question over the phone. However, she had never once thought of hiding the truth. It was just not the right time.

"Joan, what's going on?" Caiden probed when she re-entered the ward.

"It's fine. Are you done eating?" she asked.

"I'm good. Do you have an emergency to tend to?"

"Don't worry about it. Rest early," Joan replied in a low voice and walked to the sofa next to the bed.

Unfortunately, the woman did not know that Larry had reached the limits of his patience.

"Ms. Young, was that Joan? Where is she now?" he asked Delilah coldly.

"She told me she has something to attend to tonight and won't be home. I don't know where exactly she is," Delilah replied slowly.

I can't hide it forever. It's better to tell him now. If he discovers things later on his own, they might argue even more.

Larry walked into his room without another word upon hearing her response.

How dare she not return home for the night! He was furious. What's so important that she can't return home?

Larry tossed and turned in the bed the entire night. He could not sleep at all. He could not figure out what his wife had been busy with recently.

The next morning, the sun shone in through the windows brightly. The man on the hospital bed was sound asleep, while the woman on the sofa looked drained. Nothing much had happened at night; Caiden had a good rest.

Luckily, there were no further complications. When everything seemed fine, Joan packed up, ready to leave.

"Joan!" Caiden suddenly called out as he felt that she was leaving.

"What's up?" The woman turned around slowly.

"Where are you going?" he asked with a look of anticipation.

"I'm going home to get a change of clothes," she told him and shrugged.

She had not gone home for the night. Hence, she wanted to catch Larry in the morning before he left for work.

"Oh." Caiden's eyes drooped.

There was no way to refute this, but even the blind would be able to tell that he was dissatisfied.

Joan did not continue the conversation and left.

It's been a long time since I last saw Larry. I wonder if he's doing well.
