Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2224

They consider me an arrogant youngster who can't do much, yet they're the ones who can't contribute at all!

Once Larry picked up the call, Caspian voice could be heard asking anxiously, "Larry, what happened? Did the shareholders give you a hard time again? Do you need me to come over?" Larry massaged his temples and replied in a hushed voice, "How did you know about this? It's not a big deal. I have everything under control. They won't try anything reckless anymore." He was grateful to have Caspian by his side back in the day when the shareholders were up to no good. If it weren't because of Caspian, he might not have made it through the challenges. As soon as Larry sorted out everything, he rushed over to the hotel.

Once he saw Jessica, he asked, "Hey, how are you feeling?"

She replied in a courteous manner, "I guess I'm doing fine. Thank you so much for everything yesterday."

It was about time for her to snap out of her imagination and face the truth after lying to herself for such a long time.

"Can you please make a trip with me? I need to bring my late parents' remains back with me."

When Larry heard the request she brought up, he found it odd. Why is she asking me to tag along with her to bring her parents back? It's quite inappropriate since I'm a married man. With that, Larry turned her down outright, "Jessica, I'm afraid that's impossible because I have a lot of things to deal with in the company. I'll get Caspian to go with you instead."

He couldn't bear to have her make the trip alone either. After all, there wasn't anyone else she could rely on.

"If that's the case, it's fine. You should tend to the things you have on your plate. I'll make my way there on my own."

Afraid that something bad would happen to Caspian, she turned him down without a second thought. After all, she was the reason he was hurt.

On top of that, she once rejected him when he confessed the affection he had for her.

Staying true to herself had always been her core value. Thus, she was determined to stay away from Caspian since she was in love with another man. Although she knew that Larry might not fall for her, she couldn't lie to herself because he was the only one she had in mind. Therefore, she couldn't possibly accept Caspian into her life.

After much consideration, Larry repeated himself, "I'll get Caspian to go with you because there are a few things that require my attention."

"It's fine! Please go ahead with your work, but keep this matter from Caspian, okay? I want to resolve everything on my own! Trust me! I'll be back, but it's going to take some time!" Jessica replied with a determined look.

Why is she so stubborn? I get it she doesn't have a thing for Caspian, but she can just consider him another friend of hers. Is it necessary for her to distance herself from him? She's making it seem like she's about to sever ties with him.

He asked, "When will you be heading over?"

The woman wiped the tears from her cheeks and said, "If it's possible, I'll be heading over tonight because I received countless calls from the person in charge. All this while, I had been deceiving myself, but it's time to face reality."

"Alright, I'll tag along with you."

The man's response took Jessica by surprise, and she gave him a grin.

I guess he's not a heartless man after all, huh?

After they made their way out of the hotel, Larry brought Jessica to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Caspian, who was in the ward, looked frail and haggard. It was evident that he had a hard time falling asleep because his fatigue was written all over his face.

"Hey, it's time for breakfast!" Jessica announced when she made her way into the ward.

Caspian turned around when she heard the woman's voice.

Thrilled by her presence, he greeted, "Hey!"

Jessica handed him his breakfast and suggested, "Here you go! I have bought you your favorite food! You should eat it before it turns cold!"

However, he couldn't be bothered with the food she bought at all because her wellbeing was his sole concern.

Subsequently, he asked while looking her in the eye, "How are you? Is everything fine?"

Grinning, Jessica answered, "What could possibly be wrong? Just dig in. I'm totally fine!"
