Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2549
“Do you see the ward by the corner?” After giving them directions, the doctor walked away.
Without further hesitation, Jory ran toward the corner.
Inside, Dustin was laying there quietly with his eyes closed. His face was pale while his body was covered in blood.
“Doctor, what is his condition? When will he be awake?” Jory anxiously asked the man beside him.
“Are you the patient’s family?” the doctor asked.
“I am, I am. How is he now?”
“Here, I need your signature on this. I’m sorry, we have done everything we could,” the doctor gradually explained while his eyes were filled with pity.
What does that mean? Jory gave the doctor a confused look.
This was the first time he was stumped when trying to say something.
“Mister, don’t panic yet. We will continuously treat him with new technologies, so don’t worry. As of now, our hospital’s ability to treat a paralyzed person is still limited. I hope you understand. If you don’t have faith in us, you are welcome to transfer him to another hospital…”
Despite the doctor explaining a whole lot in great detail, Jory didn’t register any of it. He was simply at a loss as to what to do.
“Jory, get a hold of yourself!” Nancy reminded him as she quickly approached.
How am I able to stay calm? My best friend has become a vegetable all of a sudden!
Who did this to him? As he tried his best to get a grip of himself, Jory whipped out his phone and made a call.
“Hello, find out everything that happened to Dustin before his accident. Who he called, who he met, what he did, where he went…”
When she saw Jory’s vicious gaze, Nancy was inexplicably terrified.
She hoped that what happened to Dustin was really an accident. Lowering her head, she prayed for his recovery.
“Why are you back so late?” Delilah asked softly when she saw Joan enter the living room.
“Who’s looking for me?” Rubbing her eyes, Joan walked out to the living room.
“What? How can you still be sleeping? Joan, how heartless can you be?”
Given Jory’s sudden arrival and shocking accusation, Joan was puzzled as to what was going on.
What did I do? Why is he calling me heartless? I didn’t kill anyone or commit arson…
“What’s wrong?” Joan asked.
How dare she feign ignorance after what happened to Dustin. How vicious can this woman be?
“Joan, tell me. What does it take for you to let Dustin go?” Jory asked bluntly with a cold glint in his eye.
What kind of question is that? Isn’t it obvious that Dustin is the one that’s clinging on to me? Why is Jory twisting the facts and interrogating me? Joan looked at him with both disappointment and anger.
“Jory, I’m sure you’re aware that all this while, it was Dustin that pursued me,” Joan replied with conviction.
