A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2169

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2169

“It’s alright; Joan alone is enough. It might get noisy if there are too many people,” Caiden refuted awkwardly.

Who allowed her to take a leave? Why does she think that she’s capable of taking care of me? Most importantly, who on earth told her that I was in the hospital!

“No, I…”

“Joan!” Caiden yelled before Noelle could finish her sentence.

Outside the ward, Delilah was engaged in a deep conversation with Joan.

“I think this is good enough. You should head home, and I’ll stay here. This way, people won’t gossip behind your back. I’m an old woman now; they won’t point their fingers at me. If they do so, I can claim to be his aunt,” Delilah said and patted Joan’s shoulders in reassurance.

Despite her kind words, Joan was aware that Delilah was doing these for her sake. Besides, taking care of a patient was no walk in the park. As time dragged on, Joan feared that Delilah would collapse from exhaustion.

“But Caiden’s body still requires a long period of recovery,” Joan tried to argue.

“Don’t worry; I won’t get tired so easily. Besides, he can move freely now. It wouldn’t be a problem.”

“Joan!” All of a sudden, Caiden’s voice echoed from the ward. The tone of his yell was several octaves higher.

“What happened?”

Both women hurried into the ward with frantic steps.

Their arrival caused Noelle to shift her gaze as she stared at Joan coldly. Immediately, her face was filled with displeasure.

“Ah, I want to eat an apple. Can you help me to peel it?” Caiden asked with a smile.

“I’ll help you peel it,” Noelle replied in an instant and scrambled for the apple as she began to peel it.

Her movements were as quick as lightning. It was clear that Noelle harbored deep feelings for Caiden.

Seeing her actions, Delilah couldn’t help but speak up. “Caiden, this woman is impressive!” she said in a sarcastic tone.

Lying on the bed, Caiden awkwardly turned over and gazed at the window outside.
