Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2301
“Caiden, please don’t make a fuss, okay? We’ll be arriving at the hospital very soon,” Joan immediately cajoled.
“I’m not making a fuss. I know what I’m doing, Joan. I don’t want to go to the hospital, so don’t waste your time persuading me anymore.” As Caiden said that, he climbed out of the car and strode away.
“Caiden Owens, what exactly are you trying to do? No matter what, she’s your mother! Without her, you wouldn’t be here today, so you should be grateful to her!” Joan snapped behind him.
Yeah, I should really be grateful to that woman. I should be thankful for her indifference all these years. I should be glad that she’s left me with my grandparents and caused me to be mocked for having no parents since young!
Lifting his head to stare at the sky, Caiden sneered.
Never had I imagined I would have such a bizarre life!
“Go and visit her, Caiden. If not, you’ll regret it.” Joan tugged at the hem of his shirt.
“No way!” Caiden snarled before he left.
Good heavens! Why is he so obstinate? What is more important than familial bonds? What grudge does he have against his own mother that he isn’t at all concerned about her wellbeing?
“Miss, are you still heading to the hospital?” the driver called out in a booming voice some distance away.
“Yes!” Joan swiftly sprinted back.
In the hospital room, Caiden’s mother was on an IV drip, looking incredibly frail on the hospital bed. Jaden and Noelle sat at the side with their eyes pinned on the woman on the bed, afraid that they would miss the slightest twitch.
“How did it go? Did he go home?” Jaden demanded anxiously as he clutched at Joan’s arm.
He grew up with Caiden, so he naturally understood his temperament. Thus, he actually hadn’t expected to see Caiden. I just thought that Joan could sway him, but unexpectedly…
“Yeah, he went home,” Joan replied in a mere whisper.
