    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2116


    Delh didn’t want Joan and Larry to travel back and forth to visit her at the hospital; she found it too


    tiresome for them.


    Since Joan didn’t have any other reasons to keep the woman hospitalized, she gave Larry a call,


    exined the situation, and started packing up.


    “Joan.”


    A bassy voice caught the attention of both Joan and Delh. Caiden? What is he doing here? And are


    those health supplements he’s carrying?


    Delh froze at the sound of the man’s voice. “Caiden? Y-you—”


    Caiden cut in before she could finish her sentence, “I haven’t been in town for a while, and that’s why I


    couldn’te to see you, Ms. Young. I just got back today, so…”


    Hang on. That’s not the point! The point is, why would he visit her with all these health supplements all


    of a sudden? They aren’t that close. Joan couldn’t wrap her head around what she was witnessing with


    her own eyes.


    “Erm… But…” She didn’t know what to say.


    “Come on in, young man. Joan, don’t keep my guest standing. Bring him in already.” Delh tried to


    smooth things out.


    Joan stood still in difiture while Caiden scratched the bottom of his skull as he walked into the


    ward. He himself knew that this would appear abrupt, but he still made the decision toe after some


    contemtion.


    “Ms. Young, have you been discharged?” Caiden asked as he looked at Delh earnestly.


    “Yes. I’ve already regained enough strength in my body,” thetter answered clumsily.


    Her eyes carefully scanned the man in front of her and concluded that this person by the name of


    Caiden wasn’t up to any good. What bemused her the most was how Joan had gotten herself


    entangled with this man. Maybe it was to repay his kindness?


    “So you’re Joan’s junior, yeah?”


    “Yes. She’s my senior.” Caiden felt his muscles tensing up at the question, his entire body standing on


    guard.


    They talked for a bit, and Joan soon had had everything packed up.

    “Joan, why don’t you let me send you home. I’m free today, anyways.” Caiden got on his feet in a sh


    when he saw the woman done packing up.


    Hmm… Delh didn’t seem happy with that suggestion, and Joan racked her brain to find a reasonable


    excuse to turn him down.


    Why would we need him to send us home? Larry’s going to be here any minute.


    “Well, that won’t be necessary. Larry’s already on his way here,” Joan declined his offer forthrightly.


    She sometimes wondered how this man managed to appear in front of her again and again, despite all


    her efforts in evading him.


    “Hey, Joan. Your phone’s ringing.” Delh pointed at a table not too far away.


    It was Larry. “Hey, Joan. Sorry, but I can’t make it today. Some issues are requiring my immediate


    attention in thepany.”


    Not again… I thought we talked about this. Why does he always stand me up and break his promises?


    To say Joan was downright disappointed would be an understatement.


    “What? Seriously, again? It’s not the first time you’re doing this.” Beep— She hung up before he could


    say anything to defend himself. She was as crossed as two sticks and turned narky in seconds.


    “What’s wrong? Did something happen to Larry?” Delh asked, anxious.


    “What could possibly happen to him? Anyway, he can’t make it today.” Joan’s usually gentle voice was


    strung with dissatisfaction.


    Caiden was singing hymns of joy inside as he ensconced cozily on the couch.


    Aren’t you my lucky star, Larry! He managed to suppress his exhration into a mildly curved smile.


    Joan sighed, turning to face the man in the room. “Caiden, I guess we need your help after all.”


    “Don’t mention it, Joan. The pleasure is all mine.”


    Caiden was always more than willing to lend a helping hand. Being asked by Joan couldn’t have made


    him happier.


    Neither Joan and Delh like owing favors to people, and thus, they had Caiden stay over at their ce


    for dinner as a token of appreciation for his help.


    “Mom!” Luciusunched into Joan’s arms the moment he saw her.


    “Grandma, are you feeling better?” He looked at Delh with his droopy brows.


    “No worries. I’m very strong now.” Delh smiled as she patted him on the back reassuringly.


    “That man over there…” Lucius pointed towards Caiden, who had his back towards him.
