Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2424
Joan suddenly recalled what Caspian had instructed her earlier. He had warned that she must deny having someone else following her, no matter what the other party said.
“Where is my son? When will you let him go?” asked Joan right away.
“Get out of the car and head over to the abandoned parking lot at the side. Your son is waiting for you over there. He will leave, and you will stay. Either that, or neither one of you leave. Also, don’t try to fool me. You are within my line of sight right now,” answered the man before he hung up right away.
His tone was so fierce that Joan couldn’t fight back.
She couldn’t send any messages to Caspian, and she had no choice but to listen to that man’s instructions and get out of the car. She then headed directly to the abandoned parking lot.
“Caspian, look. Joan has gotten out of the car. Why didn’t she signal us?” asked Jessica nervously inside the other car.
“Lower your voice. Joan probably couldn’t send any signals to us. Someone must be watching her,” replied Caspian warily.
After saying his piece, the two adults got out of the car and headed to a corner at the side to keep themselves hidden.
“Lucius? Lucius, where are you? I’m here,” shouted Joan loudly as she walked in.
“Mom!” the boy called out.
Hearin Lucius’ voice got Joan’s heart to thump excitedly. She traced his voice and ran over right away.
In the end, she found the boy beside a trash can.
“How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?” asked Joan in a worried tone while examining Lucius from head to toe.
“Mom, what are you doing here? I’m fine. Mom, listen to me, they’re all bad people,” warned the boy as he lay in Joan’s arms.
Naturally, Joan was well aware of that fact. She simply had no choice and had to listen to their instructions to keep Lucius safe.
“It’s okay, Lucius. Go home now, and don’t worry about me. I have to talk to them about something,” informed Joan while pinching the corner of her clothes a little.
“Mom, aren’t you going to go back with me?” asked the boy. His big, round eyes shone with curiosity.
