Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2409
“Mrs. Norton, wake up,” one of the staff members came up to Joan suddenly and patted her on the shoulder as she called out softly.
“Oh, I dozed off…” Joan mumbled as she rubbed her eyes.
“Where’s Larry? Is he still busy?” Squinting her dopey eyes, she asked directly.
“The clients have left. You can go in now. It’s a little too cold out here,” the staff member answered with a smile.
Looking at the busy scene in his office, Joan became hesitant all of a sudden.
Forget it. I can tell him at night! She then turned around and left Norton Corporation.
Should I go to the hospital?
On the roadside, Joan looked at her phone and dithered.
I wonder how Caiden is doing now.
What Noelle said to her previously when she chased her out of the ward sounded very awful, but it made sense. If I go to the hospital now, isn’t it as good as giving him false hopes again? But if I don’t go, it would make me look heartless!
This is a world where strange things happen every day. It’s also a society in which moral standards are trending downward and human nature is getting more complex by the day. Looking up at the sky, Joan heaved a sigh.
It was said that those who liked looking at the sky were lonesome people. That was somehow true as Joan was indeed feeling a little desolate in that instance. In fact, she had a lot of friends whom she could confide in, but at that particular moment, she just didn’t feel like telling anyone of her grievances and helplessness.
Her phone had been buzzing for some time in her bag and finally, she picked it up.
“Joan, where are you?” It was Caiden’s voice from the other end.
“I’m outside. What’s the matter?” she asked.
“Considering my current situation, aren’t you going to come over and look after me?”
But isn’t Noelle at the hospital?
“Noelle will take good care of you, I believe her,” as soon as she said that, she was ready to end the call.
“Why are you such an ingrate? If it wasn’t because of you, do you think I would have overworked to this extent? And if it wasn’t for you, would I have come up with so many creative ideas?”
