Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2138

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable…”

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 but come 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 to come 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 occupied 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 plan astray.

Caiden, wake up! She clasped 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 said compliantly.

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.
