Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2116
Delilah 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, explained the situation, and started packing up.
“Joan.”
A bassy voice caught the attention of both Joan and Delilah. Caiden? What is he doing here? And are those health supplements he’s carrying?
Delilah 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’t come 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.” Delilah tried to smooth things out.
Joan stood still in discomfiture 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 to come after some contemplation.
“Ms. Young, have you been discharged?” Caiden asked as he looked at Delilah earnestly.
“Yes. I’ve already regained enough strength in my body,” the latter 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 flash when he saw the woman done packing up.
Hmm… Delilah didn’t seem happy with that suggestion, and Joan racked her brain to find a reasonable excuse to turn him down.
