Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2141
There were already a lot of misunderstandings between her and Larry. It would only cause more misunderstandings if Larry knew of her wearing the doctor’s coat.
Joan was soon back in the ward.Gazing at her worriedly, Caiden asked feebly,
“What took you so long? Did anything happen?”
Once again, the woman fell into deep thought. Indeed, something strange has happened.
Seeing that, Caiden raised his voice as he called out, “Joan!”
His voice brought her back to her senses. “Huh? What were you saying? Do you want some water? I’ll go get it.” Before he could say anything, she grabbed a glass and was heading out of the ward.
What’s wrong with her? She looks preoccupied. Did something really happen to her just now?
Quickly, Caiden halted her, “Joan! I don’t need water.”
The latter slowly turned around, plastering an apologetic look for her absent-mindedness.
Meanwhile, Larry was like a cat on hot bricks, for Joan was not answering his calls. In the end, he resorted to calling Delilah. “Hello, Ms. Young, is Joan at home? I’ve called her phone several times, but I couldn’t reach her,” he gabbled in a panic.
Holding the phone, Delilah looked around the house and then Joan’s bedroom, yet the woman was nowhere to be seen. For the past few days, she noticed that Joan seemed to be very busy. Sometimes, the latter would even stay out all night. Initially, she had thought Joan was with Larry. Yet, now it turned out that the two had not been together.
Then… Where did she go for the past few days? What is she up to?
Having no choice, Delilah lied, “Um… She’s helping me with the gardening. She’s busy right now, and she doesn’t have her phone with her.” Then, she asked sheepishly, “Do you want to talk to her right now?”
Although Delilah sounded strange over the phone, Larry didn’t think much. After all, he was only calling to make sure Joan was fine.
Hence, he said, “There is no need then. By the way, I’ll have dinner at home tonight. I’ll end the call now.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Delilah stood rooted to her spot, her gaze darkened.
