Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2461

“Hold on! This is a matter of life and death, so it’s not something to be done so hastily!” the butler shouted at the top of his lungs.

He knew that Keith was of unsound mind on occasion, and that was why he had to stay by his side at all times. Keith himself was well aware of that, but he retained no awareness once it happened.

“Get ahold of yourself, Mr. Owens!” the butler urged anxiously.

However, there wasn’t any response from the man. Meanwhile, Joan was stumped at everything that was transpiring right in front of her eyes.

She had no idea what these people were trying to pull, nor did she have the slightest inkling that Caiden’s father had a mental disorder.

“Hold on first. Don’t do anything reckless,” the butler said to the few young men before him.

After an indeterminate time had passed, Keith finally snapped back to his senses.

“What happened? Why are you all looking at me?” he abruptly demanded in a voice threaded with displeasure.

“Why are you here, Ms. Watts? And what are the lot of you doing? Let go of her! Who allowed you to treat her with such disrespect? Hurry up and let her go!” he then barked at the few young men.

At that moment, Joan was entirely stunned. What’s with the one-eighty change? Does he think this is playacting? Her gaze remained locked on the man in front of her as she tried to decipher something from his face.

The few young men, on the other hand, glanced at each other before they released their hold on her at long last.

“I’m really sorry about that, Ms. Watts. Please pardon the ordeal you’ve been through. Mr. Owens is up in years, so his mind gets fuzzy at times…” the butler hastily rushed over and explained in a whisper.

He was the only person who knew about Keith’s mental instability. In fact, even Caiden and his mother weren’t aware of it.

“Also, please keep this a secret since it concerns the reputation of the Owens family,” the butler continued.

At last, understanding dawned upon Joan, and she suddenly pitied Keith.
