Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2254
Never mind, I’ll be fine after taking the medicines. There’s no need to see a doctor.
Half an hour later, Joan showed up in front of the supermarket.
“You’re here.”
“Joan, how are you today?”
“Let’s go out for lunch together later.”
Huh? What’s wrong with them? Why are they being so caring towards me all of a sudden? This isn’t like them at all. Usually, they tease and make fun of me jokingly. They seem different today. Do they know I’m having a cold? They’re quite observant if they could tell I’m under the weather without me having to tell them.
The corner of Joan’s lips curled up into a delighted smile.
“Hey, Joan, did you read today’s newspaper?”
“Shut up!” another colleague shouted.
The entire place fell silent, and the air stilled.
Newspaper? I was in a rush today, so I didn’t have time to read it.
She ambled over to them while asking, “Did anything interesting happen? Tell me about it.”
“Nothing interesting happened. It’s just that the government announced some new laws. Other than that, it’s quite boring actually. Hey, are you free tonight? Let’s hang out.”
Forget about hanging out. I’m so exhausted lately, dozing off when I go home after work every day. I could barely stay awake, let alone hang out. ”No, I’m not going. I need to take a good rest.”
“But Joan, you need some free and leisure time too.”
“No. As a married woman, I’m not interested in hanging out. I need to do my house chores and cook after work,” Joan mumbled.
In fact, she could hire a housemaid, as suggested by Larry before. However, she didn’t want to stand out among the villagers.
