Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2301

"Caiden, please don't make a fuss, okay? We'll be arriving at the hospital very soon," Joan immediately cajoled.

"I'm not making a fuss. I know what I'm doing, Joan. I don't want to go to the hospital, so don't waste your time persuading me anymore." As Caiden said that, he climbed out of the car and strode away. "Caiden Owens, what exactly are you trying to do? No matter what, she's your mother! Without her, you wouldn't be here today, so you should be grateful to her!" Joan snapped behind him.

Yeah, I should really be grateful to that woman. I should be thankful for her indifference all these years. I should be glad that she's left me with my grandparents and caused me to be mocked for having no parents since young!

Lifting his head to stare at the sky, Caiden sneered.

Never had I imagined I would have such a bizarre life!

"Go and visit her, Caiden. If not, you'll regret it." Joan tugged at the hem of his shirt.

"No way!" Caiden snarled before he left.

Good heavens! Why is he so obstinate? What is more important than familial bonds? What grudge does he have against his own mother that he isn't at all concerned about her wellbeing?

"Miss, are you still heading to the hospital?" the driver called out in a booming voice some distance away.

"Yes!" Joan swiftly sprinted back.

In the hospital room, Caiden's mother was on an IV drip, looking incredibly frail on the hospital bed. Jaden and Noelle sat at the side with their eyes pinned on the woman on the bed, afraid that they would miss the slightest twitch.

"How did it go? Did he go home?" Jaden demanded anxiously as he clutched at Joan's arm.

He grew up with Caiden, so he naturally understood his temperament. Thus, he actually hadn't expected to see Caiden. I just thought that Joan could sway him, but unexpectedly...

"Yeah, he went home," Joan replied in a mere whisper.

"Caiden. Son, I'm sorry..." the woman on the hospital bed muttered, seemingly dreaming.

"How's Mrs. Owens doing? Has her condition improved?"

"Yeah, she has just undergone an operation. Mr. Owens actually wanted her to see Caiden before the operation, but he wasn't back yet," Jaden replied with his head lowered.

At that very moment, Joan felt nothing but guilt. If it weren't for me, perhaps Caiden would have come to visit his mother.

Meanwhile, Noelle kept shooting daggers at Joan.

This is all on you, Joan Watts! If it weren't for you, Caiden would never have abandoned me! She clenched her hands tightly and her gaze turned vicious.

"All right, you should go back and rest. Also, please continue to convince Caiden," Jaden told Joan.

That's not a problem at all. As long as he's willing to come and visit his mother, I won't mind doing anything at all!

Meanwhile, Caiden was sprawled on the sofa in the living room. Staring at the ceiling above with his eyes opened wide, he zoned out. The cell phone beside him rang incessantly, but it was as though he didn't even notice it.

Ugh! What is he doing now that he's not answering the phone? Stomping her foot in a fit of pique, Joan swiftly left the hospital and went straight to Caiden's house.

"Open the door, Caiden Owens!" Joan roared outside the door.

However, Caiden made no move to get up.

He knew why she was here, so he wasn't planning on allowing her into the house.

"Open up!" Joan bellowed unceasingly as she pounded on the door.

Finally, someone opened the door. However, it wasn't Caiden but several neighbors of his.

"Goodness gracious, what's with the awful noise out here? If you are arguing with your boyfriend, go and do it elsewhere. Be considerate, okay? How are we supposed to rest with all the shouting going on?" "Hear, hear! This is considered a public nuisance. Let me warn you that we're well within our rights to lodge a police report!"
