Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2138
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavable…”
Damn it! I can’t reach him when I need him.
Just then, Joan’s phone once again rang.
“Are you guys really Mr. Owens’ friends? None of you are reachable when he needs you most. I don’t
care who you are bute to the hospital immediately. I need you to sign the consent form,” the doctor
demanded coldly and hung up.
A moment earlier, she thought it was only one of Caiden’s tricks. Yet, it seemed like there was really no
one with him.
She looked at her cooking halfway done in the kitchen and then at her phone. Eventually, she made up
her mind and rushed out of the house.
In the hospital, Caiden was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, receiving IV therapy. Joan watched
anxiously as the nurse adjusted the IV tube.
“Miss, when will he wake up?” Joan asked.
“I’m not sure.” Then, the nurse started grumbling, “None of his family nor friends answered our calls,
except for you. Still, you dallied toe to the hospital. This concerns the patient’s life. Who’s going to
be responsible if anything happens to him? You or the hospital?”
Feeling embarrassed for being petty-minded earlier, Joan kept her head down. She fixed her eyes at
the unconscious man who was lying on the bed, steeped with guilt.
How could he be so careless when he was driving? At the same time, her mind was upied by the
phone call with Larry earlier. Feeling agitated, she unwittingly wrung her hands.
She had promised to bring Larry food and clothes, yet the phone call from the hospital threw her n
astray.
Caiden, wake up! She sped her hands and prayed.
Meanwhile, Jessica was talking with a doctor in the corridor of the hospital. “Alright. Thank you, doctor.
I will be mindful,” she saidpliantly.
The doctor once again reminded her, “Ms. Zimmer, you should avoid consuming cold food items or
drinks, or it might have a toll on your body.”
“I got it. Send my regards to your mom.” With that, Jessica left.
The woman had a knack for getting easily sick when the seasons changed. It was a chronic condition,
which she had gotten used to over the years.
Just then, Jessica heard a familiar voice, “Miss, when did he get admitted?”
Isn’t that Joan’s voice? Jessica walked forward gingerly, following the direction the voice hade
from.
In the ward, the nurse answered, “A few hours ago. If his family came earlier, we wouldn’t have left him
untreated for so long.”
Jessica was shocked to hear that. Family? Did I hear it correctly?
She moved closer to the ward and saw a man lying on the bed. The man looked unfamiliar, yet he
didn’t seem to be an average man to her.N?velDrama.Org owns all content.
Well, well, I’ve indeed underestimated Joan. It turns out she has a secret lover! Poor Larry still doesn’t
know his wife has cheated on him! Upon that discovery, a cold glint shed across her eyes.
Larry was busily going through the documents. For some reason, he looked rather happy as he did so.
Just then, a woman sashayed her way into the office in high heels andmented, “It seems like
you’re in a good mood today.”
“Why are you here again?” he asked coldly.
What is with this unweing attitude? Hmph! Wait till he finds out about his wife who cuckolded him!
Then he’ll know he should treat me better.
Ignoring his question, Jessica ced a lunchbox in front of him. “I bet you haven’t eaten lunch. Here,
I’ve prepared this for you.”
“I don’t need it,” Larry rejected without even sparing a nce at her.
Tsk tsk tsk! Look how he turned me down. He made it look like I’m begging him to taste my food.
Regardless, Jessica put on a good front as she went to sit on the sofa and flipped the documents on
the coffee table.
With feigned casualness, she asked, “Don’t tell me you’re still waiting for your dear Joan?”
Hearing that, Larry paused in his pen. With a serious expression, he looked up at the woman sitting not
far away.
“Yes. I’m waiting for my wife,” he stated firmly.
