Chapter 3023
"I'd better head home now."
Just as she spoke, Joan got up.
"Don't, you should rest here first.There's no hurry.Don't worry, I'll send you home later" Jake replied at once.
However, Joan didn't want him to do that.
After all, she didn't want to have anything to do with him, let alone allow Larry to find out that they were together.
"You should go back first.I'll be fine once I have rested" Joan added.
Obviously, she is trying to chase me away.
However, he had expected it for he knew she had wanted to avoid any misunderstanding.But, is it necessary to go that far? Jake shot her a glance with a forlorn expression.
"Joan, don't worry, I won't do anything to you; he explained.But it still isn't a good idea for Larry to see us together.Joan lowered her head, not knowing what to say.
Ring! Ring! It was Larry on the line.
"Where are you?" He sounded concerned over the line.
"I'm outside; she replied nervously.
"Where are you? I'll come to pick you up."
Larry tried his best to suppress his emotions as he sounded visibly upset.
"You don't have to pick me up.I'll return home by myself soon."
"Joan!"
Larry bellowed all of a sudden, causing Joan to be stunned.
Just as expected, he was now angry.
"I'm at the hospital." She finally relented.
Having seen what happened, Jake pondered to himself. He had no intention of breaking Larry and Joan up.
After all, he was aware that he didn't have the ability to do so anyway. It was just that he missed her.
After a while, Larry arrived at the hospital entrance.
Thump! The door to the ward swung open.
When Larry saw Jake standing by the window, his expression was filled with rage.
"Larry; Joan quickly greeted him in panic.
She was a little panicked as she was afraid that Larry would beat Jake up by impulse and that both of them would get hurt.
