Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1744

Jory saw Dustin’s smirk and elaborated, “I was focused on defending, but I still won.”

“Let me guess. You were not alone.” Dustin’s question threw Jory off guard

"W-What?" Jory's face flushed.

Dustin rolled the newspapers into a stick and fumbled with it. “You're not the type to waste time on

meaningless stuff, so...”

Dustin's voice trailed off. It was clear what he was getting at—it was as if he could see through Jory.

Dustin ignored Jory's look of surprise and continued, “Furthermore, your actions earlier on—your

trembling voice, pale lips, and flushed face—it must've been someone special.”

“You're an impeccable doctor—very observant,” Jory praised.

Dustin tossed the newspaper into the bin and stood up abruptly. “Alright. I shall not probe you

further. Bye.”

Jory knew that Dustin did not like to pressure others into answering his questions and appreciated

his understanding. Both of them practically grew up together and attended the same college. They

had a strong bond despite Dustin being older than Jory by three years.

He would give his utmost support for anything that Dustin wanted to do.

His phone screen lit up before he tapped on it—it was a text from Nancy: Take a look at the

updated name list through this link!

Jory's lips curled into a bright smile as he pictured Nancy's excitement from the text. If it were in the

relationships with each other.

“Nancy, what happened to your leg?” he asked as he closed the door and hurried towards her.

Nancy was seated comfortably on the couch while scrolling on her phone and chewing gum

casually. Her injured leg was wrapped in a bandage and leveled on a wooden stool.

She paused her movements as she saw Caspian approach her.

“No big deal. I was injured while practicing Taekwondo,” she replied.

However, Caspian’s face darkened. Since they were married, Caspian has been expressing his

disapproval for her to continue practicing Taekwondo. He believed that he was capable of

protecting her.

Caspian was a traditional guy—he believed that men should protect their country and their loved

ones. Nancy's achievement in Taekwondo was something for leisure, as he expected for her to

morph into the role of a loving wife after marriage.

He was not pleased that Nancy continued with Taekwondo, and this injury definitely deepened his

displeasure towards it.

“Nancy, could you please stop practicing Taekwondo? You've already achieved the highest ranking

for it, so it's about time you..."
