Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2346
“Alright.” Larry pulled out his phone and called Jessica.
Joan was taken aback by his action. I didn’t think he would call her right in front of me.
Is he planning to show me how lovey-dovey they are? She thought it was quite ironic.
Larry, you’re crossing the line here! Joan stared out the window as she sipped on her drink.
“Hello, Larry. It’s rare for you to call me,” Jessica said.
“Actually, I was acting on someone’s wish.” Larry stole a glance at the patient.
What is he playing at? Why couldn’t he just spit it out? Joan could feel her rage rising.
“Who wanted you to call me. Why me?” Jessica probed.
“Nothing much. Just wondering how you’ve been lately? How’s Caspian?”
“He’s doing great, just busy. And he lost a ton of weight running your errands,” she muttered unhappily.
Larry talked to Jessica for quite a while in front of Joan, who was surprised by the lack of intimacy in their conversation.
“What? You’re in the hospital? What happened? Are you hurt? Tell me the address. I’ll be there as soon as I can.” Jessica almost hung up the phone.
“It’s not me. It’s Joan. She suffered a small injury to her arm. But don’t worry, it’s not severe.”
Jessica would’ve made a big deal out of it if she knew Joan fractured her arm.
“You met with Joan? Wow! Larry, I’m impressed with your thoughtfulness and initiative.”
The call was on speaker, so Joan heard everything.
