Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2219
What the hell? Has she a thing for Nancy? Does that mean she has a unique sexual preference?
Caspian gaped at the woman in front of him and asked, “Have you grown fond of Nancy?”
“Yes!”
As Jessica replied without a second thought, he had a hard timeprehending the rationale behind
the woman’s words. Although they used to be married, Caspian still found Nancy’s actions
unpredictable.
“When will I be discharged?” Caspian asked.
“What exactly are you up to? The doctor said it would take at least another fortnight.”
Why does it take so long? Caspian was worried about Larry who dealing with the troubling matters
involving Norton Corporation on his own, and his displeasure was written all over his face. The situation
will drag on indefinitely if there’s no one around to help Larry.
“If it’s regarding Larry, you don’t have to worry because things are fine on his end.”
He heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her reply.
On a side note, he couldn’t figure out the proper way to break the bad news to her. Afraid she couldn’t
embrace the truth of her parents’ death, he had been keeping her in the dark.
Staring at her warily, he replied, “Jessica, I have a question for you.”
Annoyed, she answered with another question, “Are you sure you’re a man? Can you cut the small talk
and get to the point already?”
How am I supposed to bring this up? Conflicted, he stuttered, “I-I’m sure you understand that our
parents won’t be able to keep uspany until the end of our lives. If your parents leave this world
way ahead of you, what are you going to do?”
He directed the question at her as though he was talking about a hypothetical situation while his eyes
flickered in curiosity and trepidation.
Jessica replied with a smirk, “What sort of nonsense are you spouting? Nothing can possibly happen to
my parents because I’ll ensure their safety at all costs. Once they retire, I’ll keep thempany until
the timees.”
The people she loved the most were none other than her parents, and needless to say, they felt the
same about her. It had never urred to her that misfortune would befall her family. Perhaps that was
the fundamental of destiny—it would always be unpredictable until the very moment of manifestation.
“It’s just an assumption, okay? What if it happens sooner than you thought?” Caspian probed further.
It was something that had never crossed Jessica’s mind before because her parents were in the pink of
health.
Did something happen to them?
No! It can’t be! They have always been so kind! God will never bring them away in such a brutal
manner!
Jessica rebuked in a quivering voice, “I won’t allow that to happen! You need to stop bringing this up
because my parents are just fine! Can’t we talk about something else?”
What’s gotten into her? Why did she get so worked up all of a sudden? I haven’t mentioned anything
about the ident, and yet, her eyes are already brimming with tears. Has she figured out the truth?
Does she know that we have been deceiving her all this while? Caspian looked at the woman with
sympathy and wondered if he should carry on with the topic.
All of a sudden, he said, “Jessica, don’t you think it’s about time to stop lying to yourself?”
The woman was taken aback, but she regained herposure in no time.
Then, she turned around and asked the man on the bed, “What are you talking about? When did I ever
lie to myself?”
“Jessica, are you sure you’re not aware of the truth? Your parents are no longer around, and you need

to stop torturing yourself. If you’re willing to spend the rest of your life—”
“No! You’re lying! My parents are currently on a trip abroad! They can’t be dead! Shut up, Caspian!”
Immediately after she yelled at him, she sprinted out of the ward.
It turned out that she was aware of the heartbreaking truth all along, yet she just didn’t want to ept
it.
Caspian reached for his phone and made a call. “Hey, Larry? Could you please keep an eye on
Jessica? She has figured out her parents’ death.”
