Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2063

Caiden wondered if the two had naturally grown apart once each had had families of their own.

“It doesn’t matter. Most college students don’t stay in touch with their friends after graduation. We’re all going on our separate paths in life, after all…” Caiden rambled, attempting to fill the awkwardness that had descended on them.

Joan, however, knew well enough where the heart of the matter lay.

Whenever Joan used to fantasize about her dream wedding, she’d always pictured Gabriella as her sole bridesmaid. However, things had taken a sudden turn when Gabriella had fallen in love with Joan’s husband.

“Jory…” Nancy moaned. She lay on the bed with her eyes shut, her mind wandering.

“Hey, wake up, hey…” Jaden said, gently patting Nancy’s arm.

Nancy, however, made no response.

“Don’t hit me! I’m begging you. I’m pregnant! Don’t hurt my child,” Nancy whimpered, waving her arms weakly. Her forlorn expression stirred up the pity in Jaden’s heart as he stood by Nancy’s bed watching her.

He couldn’t help but wonder what crosses Nancy had to bear. He could not imagine what horrors she’d witnessed that were so unendurable they’d even spilled over into her dreams.

“Hey, wake up!” Jaden raised his voice and nudged Nancy a little more forcefully this time.

“Who are you? What are you doing? Where am I? Why are you here?” Nancy babbled. She startled awake, sitting up violently.

Jaden couldn’t quite stifle the giggle that burst out of him.

Even when Nancy clearly wasn’t intending to be, Jaden found her reactions endearing.

“Let me answer your questions one by one. I’m Jaden, a friend of Caiden. You’re safe in a hotel. Caiden and I rescued you and Joan from a pitch-dark room,” Jaden replied patiently.

So he was the one who saved Joan and I! Nancy realized with a flood of relief.

“Where’s Joan? How is she?” Nancy asked fervently, clutching Jaden’s arm tightly.

“Don’t worry. She’s doing just fine. You’ll have to stay here for a few days, though. The hotel’s being watched now, so you might be discovered if you try to leave,” Jaden advised Nancy in a reassuring tone.

“What are you doing? Where did those people in the room go, then? Did they fly away?” Gabriella spat at two of her men, who had been diligently spying on the door of the room. She could feel her stomach knotted up in rage.
