Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2231

These are photos of Larry and Jessica at the airport. But why did they travel together? For a holiday? Larry's so busy all the time, how could he suddenly take a holiday? Plus, he would definitely tell me, right? "Don't worry, Joan. We can ask Larry about it when he's back," Caspian explained in embarrassment.

Is that really necessary though? Joan pondered.

If he told me earlier, I wouldn't have assumed these things of him. Yet he didn't say a single word to me or Caspian. How am I supposed to trust him?

"It's fine. I'm heading back now. You should get some rest. Call me if there's anything. I'll be back in the evening to bring you dinner." Joan left the ward soon after.

Why must the truth be so cruel? Is my life so easily trifled with? Joan sniffed as she left the hospital.

She wandered absentmindedly across the busy road. Countless cars honked at her while drivers shouted at her careless behavior. She appeared to be lost in her own thoughts as she ambled along. Her eyes seemed utterly lifeless.

"Hey, Joan!" At the other side of the road, a man was shouting at her.

Joan didn't react at all.

At the sight of a huge lorry bearing down on her, the man reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Hey, what are you doing? There are so many cars around! Do you have any idea how dangerous that was?" Caiden told her off while stroking her hair worriedly.

"Huh? There were cars?" Joan answered weakly.

What's wrong with her? Why does she look like her soul just left her body? Did she fight with Larry? Did Larry scold her? That can't be, right? Larry literally treats her like the moon and the stars. He wouldn't upset her like this.

"What happened? Why are you acting so carelessly with your life?" Caiden demanded.

"Nothing. I'm just tired, so I wasn't paying attention to the cars," Joan answered while shrugging.

Lies! I know she's acting like this because she's upset. I can see right through her.

"You're really going to pull this act with me? I know exactly how you feel. Come on. I'll buy you a meal." Caiden dragged her with him.

"Hey, I'm not going with you. I want to go home and rest!" Joan whined.

Is she dumb? You should treat yourself to a nice meal if you're upset. No matter how moody you are, you shouldn't let yourself starve! And what's the use of sleeping anyway? Once you're up, you'll feel upset two minutes later once you've remembered what's happened.

"Sleeping is useless. I'll tell you now that it doesn't solve anything. Trust me; good food is the best medicine for an upset woman," Caiden coaxed her as he brushed her hair.

"Don't touch me. People might get the wrong idea." She shrugged off his hand.

"Why do you care so much about how people look at you? Shouldn't you just do whatever makes you happy? Since the day you made a meal for me, you've been so careful about keeping others in the dark about us meeting. Are you avoiding me because you're scared of a scandal? Well, when are you going to stop running away from me?" Caiden goaded.

He needs me to tell him what he's done? This stupid jerk's done so many questionable things that I've had trouble explaining myself to Larry.

"Why should I avoid you? It's not like I'm successful anyway," Joan muttered.

Well, she's right. I'm not going to let her get away from me, no matter which corner of the Earth she has run off to! Even if she chooses Larry in the end, I won't have any regrets. "Joan, I like you a lot!" Caiden blurted.
