A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2145

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2145

Joan felt incredibly awkward as she sat in the ward. She knew it was getting late. It was time to call Delilah.

She took her phone and walked out of the ward.

As she disappeared from the room, a flash of worry appeared in Caiden’s eyes.

Is she talking to Ms. Young or Larry? Caiden tried his best to eavesdrop on her conversation.

“Hello, Ms. Young, I have something to attend to tonight. I can’t go back,” Joan said softly.

“Oh, finally! You called! Look at how many calls I’ve made to you! How can you only call me back now? Larry is home. He has been waiting for you. You should come back soon. He doesn’t look too happy. You two should really talk,” Delilah quickly responded.

Wait, why’s he home all of a sudden? Joan felt her heart racing. What should I do now? Should I go home? What if something happens to Caiden here?

After some thought, she still decided not to head back.

“Ms. Young, I really have something on tonight. I can’t go home,” Joan insisted.

What’s going on with this girl? What’s so serious that she can’t come home, especially to the extent that she doesn’t want to meet Larry?

“Joan, tell me what happened,” Delilah demanded sternly.

How am I supposed to reply? Joan hesitated.

“It’s nothing, Ms. Young. I will explain everything when I’m back. Just let Larry know I won’t be home tonight.” Then, she hung up.

Perhaps, she really did not know how to respond to Delilah’s question over the phone. However, she had never once thought of hiding the truth. It was just not the right time.

“Joan, what’s going on?” Caiden probed when she re-entered the ward.

“It’s fine. Are you done eating?” she asked.

“I’m good. Do you have an emergency to tend to?”

“Don’t worry about it. Rest early,” Joan replied in a low voice and walked to the sofa next to the bed.
