Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2219

What the hell? Has she a thing for Nancy? Does that mean she has a unique sexual preference?

Caspian gaped at the woman in front of him and asked, “Have you grown fond of Nancy?”

“Yes!”

As Jessica replied without a second thought, he had a hard time comprehending the rationale behind the woman’s words. Although they used to be married, Caspian still found Nancy’s actions unpredictable.

“When will I be discharged?” Caspian asked.

“What exactly are you up to? The doctor said it would take at least another fortnight.”

Why does it take so long? Caspian was worried about Larry who dealing with the troubling matters involving Norton Corporation on his own, and his displeasure was written all over his face. The situation will drag on indefinitely if there’s no one around to help Larry.

“If it’s regarding Larry, you don’t have to worry because things are fine on his end.”

He heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her reply.

On a side note, he couldn’t figure out the proper way to break the bad news to her. Afraid she couldn’t embrace the truth of her parents’ death, he had been keeping her in the dark.

Staring at her warily, he replied, “Jessica, I have a question for you.”

Annoyed, she answered with another question, “Are you sure you’re a man? Can you cut the small talk and get to the point already?”

How am I supposed to bring this up? Conflicted, he stuttered, “I-I’m sure you understand that our parents won’t be able to keep us company until the end of our lives. If your parents leave this world way ahead of you, what are you going to do?”

He directed the question at her as though he was talking about a hypothetical situation while his eyes flickered in curiosity and trepidation.

All of a sudden, he said, “Jessica, don’t you think it’s about time to stop lying to yourself?”

The woman was taken aback, but she regained her composure in no time.

Then, she turned around and asked the man on the bed, “What are you talking about? When did I ever lie to myself?”

“Jessica, are you sure you’re not aware of the truth? Your parents are no longer around, and you need to stop torturing yourself. If you’re willing to spend the rest of your life—”

“No! You’re lying! My parents are currently on a trip abroad! They can’t be dead! Shut up, Caspian!” Immediately after she yelled at him, she sprinted out of the ward.

It turned out that she was aware of the heartbreaking truth all along, yet she just didn’t want to accept it.

Caspian reached for his phone and made a call. “Hey, Larry? Could you please keep an eye on Jessica? She has figured out her parents’ death.”
