Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2058
"Gabriella, what exactly do you want?â Nancy forced herself to open her eyes.
The woman who had just came in was still wearing a cap and a mask in an effort to disguise herself.
âMs. Barrymore, mind your words. Before confirming someone else's identity, donât shout any name
at will. Otherwise, you will suffer from the consequences!â sneered Gabriella.
"Ha! Gabriella Ward, do you seriously think I can't recognize you? Not everyone is as insane as you.
Let me tell you. Even if you..."
Before she could finish her sentence, fury overcame Gabriella. The latter stalked to her and kicked
her forcefully.
âAh!â
âNancy!â Joan hurriedly pulled her back to protect her.
"Who are you calling insane? You're the one who is insane. Crazy woman!â Gabriella kicked Joan
repeatedly and cursed.
Finally, she stopped out of exhaustion and stormed out of the room.
âJoan!â Nancy flung her arms around Joan and burst out crying.
She sniffled and quietened down fearfully.
The room was still enclosed in darkness.
"Hmm? Did I hear someone crying?â In the hallway, a young man questioned doubtfully.
âI think I heard it too,â said his friend.
They followed the sound of the sobs and soon arrived at a door.
It was the room where Joan and Nancy were held captive.
âIs anyone in there?â The young man knocked on the door politely.
They both were startled by the sudden knock, but Joan quickly regained her senses and came to the
door.
âHello, can you open the door for us?â asked Joan softly.
It was a stranger's voice, so clearly Gabriellaâs men weren't here yet.
"Donât you have a key?â the young man returned.
âI lost it. Can you ask for the receptionist's help?â Joan pleaded.
She didn't want to lose the chance to be saved for Nancy was still here.
"Alright. Wait a minute.â The young man dashed away.
"Hey, Caiden, what are you doing? This is none of your business,â his friend declared unhappily.
He had just returned from abroad, and there was no need for him to interfere in someone else's
business.
âAre you a fool? That woman sounded really distressed. Didn't you realize something was wrong?â
the young man tapped his friend's head.
âHear that, Joan? They won't bother if it doesnât concern them.â Nancy coughed tiredly.
âNancy, don't worry. Help will be here soon. Just hold on for a moment longer, alright?â Joan
caressed her hair gently in assurance.
Nancy narrowed her gaze and scoffed silently.
What a fool. They wouldn't save us for no reason.
âJoan, I'm blessed to have met you in my life. It's fine. I don't have any regrets for we are spending
our last moments together. I canât bear to part with Dad, though. I'm his only daughter. I'm gonna
die before I can fulfill my duties as a filial daughter,â wailed Nancy.
Joan couldn't help but smile at Nancy's silly reaction. It isnât that serious. Gabriella might be ruthless,
but she would still think twice before going against the law. Besides, Nancy was innocent.
âJoan, I'm scared. I haven't given birth to my child. I didn't say goodbye to Jory yet. I still..."
Bang! The door opened before she could finish.
