Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2211
“Hey, what’s wrong? Why are you scowling? Did you hear what I say?” Jessica tugged on Larry’s sleeve and pouted.
Is she dumb? Can’t she see that I’m upset right now? I can’t believe she’s trying to act cute. Larry loathed those who tried to fawn when he was upset. Joan knew that well.
“Take a look for yourself.” Larry pointed at Caspian’s ward that was not far ahead of them.
What the hell? Did I seriously beat someone up? Isn’t it quite unlikely? I’m a girl, for goodness’ sake. I can’t be that strong.
Jessica trudged along the hallway nervously until she reached the ward.
When she saw Caspian on the bed, she finally relaxed.
“What happened to you? Why are you here?” Jessica gave Caspian’s shoulder a light tap and demanded in a loud voice.
It’s true that alcohol is the crux of all things bad! I can’t believe she forgot everything. Forget it, then. Caspian sighed and flashed a grin.
Just then, Larry sauntered in and remarked, “He wouldn’t be in this state if it wasn’t for you.”
Huh? What has this got to do with me? Caspian obviously got into a fight with others. Not only was I drunk, but there’s no way I would be strong enough to beat him to a pulp. The most I could do was probably curse at him.
“What happened to you? Tell me who beat you up and I’ll avenge you. Since you’ve always been nice to me, I shall help you,” Jessica patted her chest and declared.
Caspian stared at her dubiously. Is she really sober?
“Just stay here and take care of Caspian,” Larry interjected in a mocking tone. “Don’t go anywhere else and create trouble. After all, your dad isn’t here to clean up the mess after you.”
Create trouble? When did I do that? Jessica wondered why Larry was being this sarcastic early in the morning.
