Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2772
Unconscious
“Sweetie, are you awake?” she exclaimed in a hoarse and raspy voice.
“Mom, I’m so thirsty,” the patient murmured weakly. Immediately, the elderly woman handed her daughter a glass of water on the table. The woman had a worried and troubled expression painted across her face.
Bang! The door burst open to reveal two fierce-looking thugs. The men emitted a menacing aura. Seeing the duo, the patient quickly shut her eyes and turned away to hide her face from view.
“Is she still alive?” one of the men asked coldly. The other thug barged his way in and yanked the patient upright.
Yet, the patient remained motionless and did not respond to the rough manhandling. The elderly woman couldn’t believe the sight before her eyes. It seemed like her daughter was never awake in the first place.
Bang! The man hurled the patient back to the bed after she did not respond. With that, the two men left as they pulled out their phones.
“Sweetie, are you alright?” The elderly woman rushed forward after closing the door.
Seeing her daughter in such a helpless state caused a pang of sadness in her heart. Just as the patient was about to reply to her mother, the door burst open again.
“Be careful with your words in the future,” the men uttered before leaving again. Their ominous words served as a sinister warning.
Seeing their figures vanish in the distance, a flicker of anguish flickered across the patient’s eyes. All she wanted was to do was earn money! Who’d expect that she would nearly lose her life because of it!
“Ms. Duff, she has yet to regain consciousness. You can relax,” a deep and muffled voice echoed from the hallway.
Tonight, a single crescent moon hung on the night sky. There wasn’t a single star to be seen. The darkness created a very quiet atmosphere. In the deep of the night, most people were in a deep slumber. Yet, there were still a few people who could not fall asleep due to worry and anxiety.
Joan tossed and turned on the bed. She shifted her gaze eyes towards the dark sky. All of these troubles had caused Joan to lose the bright gleam she once had in her eyes.
When will everything finally come to an end? Her body trembled as she clenched her blankets in a tight grip.
