Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2797

The Old Couple

"Bring Jessica with you and don't let her catch a cold," said Larry in a deep voice as he waved at him.

Caspian stood up. After a moment of hesitation, he walked toward the car with Jessica, leaving only Larry remaining on the beach.

The sun rose above the surface of the ocean the next day, while a few seagulls frolicked nearby. It was extremely tranquil. Joan opened her eyes slowly and massaged her temples. Only then did she realize that she was not dead yet. Huh? Where am I? She scanned her surroundings and frowned.

She could vaguely remember that after she fell into the ocean, she had tried to swim frantically. When she reached the shore, she must have been so exhausted that she fell asleep.

"Ma'am, are you okay?" Suddenly, an old man walked over and asked worriedly.

"Where am I?" Joan looked at her surroundings, replaceing it quite unfamiliar.

"Ma'am, you should change your clothes." The old man pointed at Joan and whispered embarrassedly. Completely drenched, she looked pathetic. "Darling!"

"I'm coming!"

Soon, the elderly couple brought her to their house.

"This is my daughter's clothes. Please make do with them for now," whispered the old woman as she glanced at Joan embarrassedly.

It's already great that I have something to wear. What else can I complain about? Joan quickly took the clothes and walked into the room briskly.

The elderly couple lived by the sea and did not stay in frequent contact with the outside world. They were honest and kind people without any tricks up their sleeves. "Thank you." Joan walked out and bowed toward the elderly couple.

"You're welcome. Darling, look. She looks so pretty in our daughter's clothes," said the old woman to the old man gently, her eyes brimming with affection.

I really envy them! A smile crept up on Joan's face.

"Where are you from? Why did you fall asleep on the beach?" The old man turned around and asked, confused.

I'm not asleep! I fainted! Joan gazed back at them. Scratching her head, she smiled awkwardly and explained, "I'm quite a playful person, so yesterday, I..."

She did not tell them the truth.

After Joan woke up, she decided against going home immediately. Instead, she wanted to stay low first before planning her next step.

Meanwhile, Larry was in no mood to work. Every day, he was immersed in the sorrow and agony of losing Joan. Both Caspian and Jessica did not know what to do with him. "Larry, don't be like this. Joan's already gone. You have to..." said Jessica hesitatingly.

"No! She's not dead! She's just so playful that she hasn't returned home yet!" Larry interrupted her directly and yelled in a cold tone. Jessica fell silent afterward, not uttering a single word anymore. She knew that regardless of what she said, he would never be convinced. Despite seeing how much pain Larry was in, she was helpless to do anything other than to feel pity and heartache for him. "Larry!" Suddenly, Caspian barged in.

It seemed like something bad had happened. Jessica immediately walked forward to stop Caspian. She winked at him, signaling for him to calm down.

"Jake made a move again." Caspian's voice was icy cold.

Jake's still haunting us! Jessica clenched her fist as a cold glint flashed in her eyes. Then, she whispered something into Caspian's ears and left.

She wanted to see what that bastard, Jake, was up to!

Without any hesitation, Jessica headed straight to M Group.

"Wow, this is surprising! How is it possible that Ms. Zimmer is free enough to visit me?" remarked Jake sarcastically in his office as he took a sip of water.

"Jake, what do you want?" Jessica's voice was brimming with fury and viciousness. He was targeting Larry the moment Joan left! She had been controlling her emotions all the while. Otherwise, with her usual personality, she would have been hurling insults at him by now.
