Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2157

On top of that, he knew very well that if Olivia continued staying in the hospital, it will decrease the chances of Joan coming over. Since he had no existing relationship with his mother, he might as well put his energy and affection on the woman he loved.

"Joan, I'd like to have some water. Could you get me a glass of water, please?" Caiden turned his head and asked Joan quietly.

"Oh, sure," Joan answered immediately and quickly went to pour him a glass of water.

Olivia felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her and her heart felt like it had shattered into a million pieces. Never could she have imagined that her son would treat her as heartlessly as this. Or was this just his way of taking revenge?

"Fine, I'll leave." With that, she left the room, leaving nothing behind but the clicking sound of her platform heels.

At that moment, only Delilah and Caiden were left in the room. A suffocating silence loomed over them.

"Are you alright? How do you feel?" Delilah asked him softly.

"I'm so sorry that you had to make this trip, Ms. Young. Don't worry, I'll recover in no time," Caiden replied.

Should I be honest with him? This does not seem to be the best time. Never mind, I don't have to say it now.

"You have to be careful when you go out next time. There are a lot of cars on the road these days with even more reckless drivers," Delilah continued. Caiden had thought that Delilah would blame him for troubling Joan all the time. Little did he expect that she would show care and concern for him instead. Of course, Delilah had wanted to give him something to think about, but she relented at the sight of his exhausted look.

"Come on, Caiden. Have some water," Joan said and handed him the water.

"Joan, is the water very warm? I'm so sorry," Caiden said to her apologetically.

Delilah could immediately sense that something was up. Even though Joan did not respond to him that much, it was clear that he was taking the initiative.

No, if this goes on, Joan will be taken away by Caiden sooner than later.

"Joan, go back and get some rest. Lucius is looking for you. He says there are some school activities tomorrow, so it's better that you get home early to prepare for it. Don't worry, I'll take care of things here," Delilah said.

Joan was perplexed as she stared at Delilah. In her mind, she could not recall much interaction between Delilah and Caiden. Why would she volunteer to stay behind with him?

"Ms. Young, you still need to care for the flowers in your garden. Don't worry, I can stay here," Joan mumbled.

She knew very well that Delilah would spend the rest of the day worrying about the flowers if she did not get home.

"Just take care of the garden for me. You are probably more efficient than an old lady like me," Delilah then deliberately assigned her a few tasks in order to distract her. What is going on with Ms. Young?

"Joan, Ms. Young looks rather frail and she is getting along in her years. I should not make her do things for me. I think it is best that you stay behind," Caiden murmured. Delilah suddenly shot up from her seat.

"I said I am the one staying here," she replied icily before walking out of the room.

Fine, she can stay here. Why is she getting angry over this? It doesn't matter who stays behind.

"What do you think, Joan?" Caiden asked her cautiously.

What do I think? Of course I am going to respect Ms. Young's decision. Yes, listening to Ms. Young's advice is the right thing to do.

"I need to participate in Lucius's school activity tomorrow and I need to prepare for it tonight. Let's just have Ms. Young stay with you today. Don't worry, she will definitely take good care of you," Joan said while patting his shoulder reassuringly.
