Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2212

Am I that unreasonable? Jessica’s nails had dug into her flesh, her emotions a complicated mess.

She knew Caspian liked her, and she had rejected his confession. Still, she allowed him to follow her to the nightclub. He even ended up getting hurt. Suddenly, she felt disdain toward herself.

“Don’t think too much about it. It’s normal to get hurt. Besides, isn’t it normal for men to protect women?” Caspian returned nonchalantly.

Jessica’s face went pink under his gaze.

He’s right, but this is different.

“What would you like to eat? I’ll go get it for you,” she hurriedly changed the subject.

“I’d like some dumplings. Can you make them yourself?” Huh? Make dumplings myself? Seriously?

“Uh, I’ll buy some for you. I’m not good at cooking.” With that, she exited the ward in a hurry.

Caspian was left alone in the ward, chuckling to himself.

Meanwhile, Larry was still busy at work in his office.

His assistant came in and greeted him. “Mr. Norton.”

“Did you find something?” Larry didn’t beat around the bush.

“Yes, but…” the assistant trailed off hesitantly.

Sensing something was amiss, Larry looked up at his assistant solemnly.

“An accident killed them both,” she added softly.

Back at the hospital, Jessica returned with the dumplings. “Here you go.” She handed them to Caspian.

“Mm, not bad,” praised Caspian.

Jessica shook her head at how easily Caspian was pleased.
