Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2423

How is the weather good? It's all dark and gloomy out there, thought Joan.

"It's going to be fine, Joan. Rest well here. I'll go make some breakfast for you," offered Jessica before she went into the kitchen.

She can cook? Huh, that is surprising. Who would've thought that a lady born in a rich family could cook? Joan looked impressed as she stared at the woman who was standing some distance away. She heard from Larry before and knew that Caspian had always liked Jessica. She could also see how Jessica had feelings for Caspian as well and how the latter had been suppressing those emotions. Just then, Joan's phone rang once more. She jumped and quickly picked it up.

"How are things at home? Is everything alright?" Larry's voice sounded from the other end.

Joan turned to Caspian, then to Jessica. She hesitated to answer Larry's question.

"It's pretty good. Don't worry about us. Are you still busy with work there?" asked Joan softly.

"Not really," answered Larry. "The issue here is a little complicated though, so I will have to stay for a few more days."

Joan thought that she shouldn't tell him about Lucius' incident. I don't want to distract him or affect his work.

"Did Caspian visit?" asked Larry.

"Yeah, he dropped by yesterday. Everything is fine, don't worry," said Joan hurriedly.

Larry sensed that something was off with her voice and tone, but he didn't think too much of it. He simply assumed that Joan caught a cold and was in a bad mood, so he didn't say much before he hung up. "Was that Larry?" asked Caspian directly.

"Yeah, but I didn't tell him what happened," replied Joan. She is just as thoughtful as she used to be. She never changed and is still a kind woman at heart, thought Caspian.

Soon, it was finally time for Joan to embarked on her journey to meet the guy who kidnapped Lucius.

Before long, the car came to a stop at the entrance of an abandoned warehouse. There were obstacles ahead, so Joan had to get out of the car and slowly walk to the abandoned petrol station that was some distance away. Aside from her, there was no one else in sight.

"Is someone here?” shouted Joan as she scanned her surroundings. The entire place was quiet, and no one responded.

"Hello? It's me, Joan Watts!" called out Joan, but everything remained motionless.

"What is going on? Why isn't anyone showing up?" whispered Jessica as she nudged Caspian's arm.

"Stop talking and pay attention to the changes," was his short reply.

Bang! A barrel suddenly fell from the tree. On the barrel was a message carved into it.

The message told Joan that the location of the meeting had been changed. She turned around and stared at a random spot for a few seconds before she went back into her car. "What does that mean? Why is she leaving?" asked Jessica.

"They must've changed the location. Let's go," informed Caspian before he held Jessica's hand and left.

"Is Joan going to be alright? We're moving so much. Can she handle the hassle?" asked Jessica in a worried tone.

"Don't worry. We have settled on a few secret signs, so I can read her expression and her hand gesture to decipher the message," answered Caspian.

"Huh, you two are pretty in sync," said Jessica, jealousy evident in her expression and her voice.

"It's only natural that we did that. They are definitely monitoring Joan's phone, so we could only communicate this way," replied Caspian.

Meanwhile, Joan was driving ahead in another car. Fear was apparent in her eyes, and she was so nervous that her hands were trembling endlessly. You can do this, Joan Watts. You have to rescue Lucius! She started distracting herself to calm her nerves.

"I'm here. Where are you?" asked Joan nervously while she was in the car.

"Are you alone?" demanded the man.

"Yes, I am on my own, and I've reached the destination," replied Joan.

"I'm warning you, Joan Watts, you'd better not try anything funny with me," growled the man.

Joan's legs were trembling at that moment. Anxiety was drowning her.

Has Caspian been discovered? No, that's not possible. He has always been careful when he works. There's no way he's been discovered...
