Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2150

The nurse did not know anything about their relationship, let alone that Joan was a married woman. She had just been transferred to the hospital and was not privy to a lot of these matters.

"Fine, I'll make that phone call. Don't worry, I'll do it when I am done with my work later. Please take your medicine first." The nurse handed his medication to him.

He looked at the nurse earnestly and gulped down the pills without even a drop of water.

Such a strange guy, the nurse shook her head and sighed to herself.

Who pursues girls like that? This could take years and years.

Soon, the nurse appeared in Caiden's room again.

"Hello, are you Caiden Owens' family member? His condition is deteriorating, so please come to the hospital immediately."

When Joan heard that, her heart began beating wildly.

Why would his condition suddenly worsen? Isn't his mother there? Why isn't she there today?

"Miss, isn't Caiden's mother in the room with him right now?" Joan asked.

"Oh? No, he is all alone in the room and he looks like he is in pain. I think it would be good for you to come over. We are quite busy so we can't keep watching over him," the nurse explained slowly. Caiden gave her a big thumbs up from the side.

"Nurse, do give a call to his mother. I really have some things that I need to do here and I can't just leave like that." Joan refused to comply.

She did not want anything to do with Caiden anymore. I have done enough up till now. If I continue on, something will happen sooner or later.

"Okay, I'll give it a try then." With that, the nurse hung up.

"She asked me to call your mother," she said as she looked at Caiden.

"My mom isn't here. Just tell her that my family isn't by my side and that my mother has gone overseas," he said deliberately.

He knew that if he made the phone call himself, she would never agree to come to the hospital. In fact, she was probably already beginning to get suspicious.

The nurse looked rather conflicted. She was not a good liar, and of course, she was not very willing to lie.

"Come on, my happiness is in your hands!" Caiden pouted.

The nurse had no choice but to shake her head and call Joan again.

"Hello, Ms. Watts, I think it's better that you come to the hospital. I just called Mr. Owens' mother, and she is currently overseas," the nurse said as she went against every strand of her personal judgment. What nonsense is this? His mother left the country while he was still hospitalized? This is getting stranger. Joan could suddenly feel her stress levels rising. Just when she could finally come out for a relaxing walk, she had to go back again because of two phone calls! I must have done something bad in my past life to deserve such punishment now.

"Dustin, something cropped up and I need to go now," she hung up and said to Dustin.

"Oh? You are leaving so soon?" He stood up slowly.

"Yeah, there are many things going on. I need to go and settle them," Joan explained.

What issues could she have? She did not work, and Ms. Young could work on her garden herself. At the same time, Lucius was fine at school. What could she be busy with?

"Joan, is there something that you are hiding from us?" He did not beat around the bush at all.

Was it that obvious? He could see through me immediately? She suddenly felt rather guilty, but she could not say it out loud at all.

Actually, Dustin had every ability to help her settle the matter had she shared it with him, but she did not want to owe him any favor.
