Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2597

A few people gossiped among themselves non-stop.

"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about? This is none of Joan's business!" Jessica snapped as she couldn't hold back any longer.

"Who is this lady? Is she a psychopath?"

"I bet she is. We're not talking about her, yet she is making noise here..."

As Jessica wanted to argue with them, Caspian stopped her.

"That's enough. Stop messing around," Caspian said.

"I'm not messing around. Did you hear what they said?" Jessica shouted.

"That's enough. We can't stop rumors by simply arguing with them. So, you shouldn't meddle in it," Caspian said softly while caressing her head.

Jessica looked around and decided to stop dwelling on it.

Meanwhile, Joan was staring at the tombstone dejectedly. Her tears mixed the rain droplets and fell to the ground.

"Faye!"

Suddenly, Joan rushed toward Faye's tombstone and hugged it tightly.

Everyone was shocked and stunned to see that Joan reacted as such.

"Joan, let go of your hands. Don't touch Faye's tombstone!" Jake said while pulling her arms away from it.

Unexpectedly, Joan somehow managed to hold on to it tightly to the extent that Jake couldn't push her away no matter how hard he tried.

"What are you doing? Do you want to apologize to her here?" Jake sneered and slowly stood up.

"I'm sorry, Faye! It's all my fault!" Joan leaned her head against the tombstone and said in between sobs.

The people around her began to be sympathetic toward her.

"Larry, can you control your wife?" Jake squawked at Larry. "I respect her."

Jake was at a loss for words upon hearing Larry's response. Damn you, b*tch! How dare you shed crocodile tears here!

"Get lost!"

Suddenly, Jake used all his might to flung Joan aside.

Bang!

Joan's head hit the tombstone next to her. The next moment, some blood flowed down to the ground.

"Joan!" Larry swiftly made his way to her.

Although Joan was lying on the ground, she still lifted his right hand to caressed Faye's tombstone. Slowly, her eyes closed despite her reluctance to bid farewell to Faye. Jake glanced at Joan coldly before putting some chrysanthemums at Faye's tombstone.

"Joan!" Jessica couldn't hold in her emotions and began sobbing.

As the thunder and downpour grew stronger and heavier, Joan felt that everything in front of her became blurred.

After quite some time, Joan found herself lying on the hospital bed with a drip in her hand. She looked pale-faced while her lips were chapped.

"Doctor, how's Joan now? Jessica asked a doctor in a shivering voice.

"Ms. Watts's health condition is worrying," the doctor heaved a sigh and answered while shaking his head.

"How is she? Please get to the point!" Larry came up to the doctor and asked.

"Ms. Watts's body is too weak, particularly because she has anemia. Besides, she has overtired herself recently and is slightly malnourished..." the doctor gazed at the patient sympathetically as he explained. The doctor paused for a while and added, "However, if she can be emotionally stable from now on, her body can still recover."

As the doctor said, it was crucial to have a healthy mindset. However, the crux of the problem is that Joan couldn't get past the trauma.

"Faye, please don't go. I beg of you..." Joan kept shaking her head and murmuring nervously.

"Joan, wake up. I'm Jessica," Jessica said to her while shaking her body.

"Faye!" Suddenly, Joan sat up from the bed and looked around the ward with her eyes wide open.

"Jessica, where's my assistant? Where's Faye?" She grabbed Jessica's sleeve and asked. At that moment, she didn't realize that her chapped lips had begun to bleed.
