Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2814

After what seemed like forever, Caspian finally collapsed on the sofa while Larry continued working.

Without any conscious reasoning, Larry firmly believed that Joan would return. He had a very strong gut feeling about it.

Perhaps, it was their couple’s telepathy as a result of being together for a very long time.

From dusk till dawn, Larry did not shut his eyes at all.

“Ahh!” The man woke up from the sofa with a loud yelp in an attempt to sober up.

He scanned the room, only to realize that he did not go home last night.

Damn it, Jessica is going to be so cross! Caspian rose to his feet and fixed his dressing, attempting to freshen up.

Thud! The door was flung open.

Speaking of the devil… With bated breath, Caspian stood aside and avoided eye contact with her. He was afraid of landing himself in hot soup.

“What are you doing here?” Larry threw her a straightforward question.

“I’ve been helping you to search for Joan. Could you return the favor and treat Caspian better?” Jessica complained.

What’s this all about? Have I not been nice to Caspian? Larry got up and walked toward Jessica with a smirk. “I didn’t request him to stay and keep me company.”

Although he was wearing a smile on his face, he was anxious to find out about Joan deep down. “Have you found Joan? How is she now?”

There was a glimmer of gloom in Jessica’s eyes as she shook her head. Although there were clues of Joan’s whereabouts, she failed to find her when she rushed over.

Larry felt extremely dejected.

She had an awful nightmare where Jake was torturing her relentlessly. Massaging her temples, she tried to relax.

A crescent moon was hanging in the clear, dark sky with no stars. What a depressing sight. Joan sighed and curled up in a fetal position.

She woke up extremely early the next morning and went fishing with the old man.

Her life by the beach was a mundane one, with each day repeating the same routine. Yet, she did not regard it as boring but enjoyed every moment of it.

“Are you waiting for someone, Joan?” the old man asked her suddenly. He was very careful with his words.

Joan froze for a second but immediately resumed her calm. Nodding, she faked a smile.

“Why don’t you tell me who are you waiting for? I can contact the person to come and pick you up,” the old man suggested. Though he had no idea about the person Joan had been longing to see, he could tell that she was very eager to reunite with that individual.

The suggestion sounded very tempting. However, Joan’s hands were tied in order to keep the old couple safe and sound. She was aware that all of them were constantly under the surveillance of Jake and his men. She could not bring herself to put the lives of the two kind souls at stake.
