Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2157
On top of that, he knew very well that if Olivia continued staying in the hospital, it will decrease the chances of Joan coming over. Since he had no existing relationship with his mother, he might as well put his energy and affection on the woman he loved.
“Joan, I’d like to have some water. Could you get me a glass of water, please?” Caiden turned his head and asked Joan quietly.
“Oh, sure,” Joan answered immediately and quickly went to pour him a glass of water.
Olivia felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her and her heart felt like it had shattered into a million pieces. Never could she have imagined that her son would treat her as heartlessly as this.
Or was this just his way of taking revenge?
“Fine, I’ll leave.” With that, she left the room, leaving nothing behind but the clicking sound of her platform heels.
At that moment, only Delilah and Caiden were left in the room. A suffocating silence loomed over them.
“Are you alright? How do you feel?” Delilah asked him softly.
“I’m so sorry that you had to make this trip, Ms. Young. Don’t worry, I’ll recover in no time,” Caiden replied.
Should I be honest with him? This does not seem to be the best time. Never mind, I don’t have to say it now.
“You have to be careful when you go out next time. There are a lot of cars on the road these days with even more reckless drivers,” Delilah continued.
Caiden had thought that Delilah would blame him for troubling Joan all the time. Little did he expect that she would show care and concern for him instead.
Of course, Delilah had wanted to give him something to think about, but she relented at the sight of his exhausted look.
“Come on, Caiden. Have some water,” Joan said and handed him the water.
