Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2409
âMrs. Norton, wake up,â one of the staff members came up to Joan suddenly and patted her on the
shoulder as she called out softly.
âOh, I dozed off...â Joan mumbled as she rubbed her eyes.
âWhere's Larry? Is he still busy?â Squinting her dopey eyes, she asked directly.
âThe clients have left. You can go in now. It's a little too cold out here,â 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.
âJoan, where are you?" It was Caidenâs voice from the other end.
âI'm outside. What's the matter?â she asked.
"Considering my current situation, aren't you going to come over and look after me?â
But isn't Noelle at the hospital?
âNoelle will take good care of you, I believe her,â as soon as she said that, she was ready to end the
call.
âWhy 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?â
Caiden hadn't seen this woman for many days, and he was exceedingly anxious and irritated. Hence,
he spouted some unkind words on purpose to trigger her.
âCaiden, calm down!â Abruptly, Joan shouted.
"How am I supposed to take it easy? I've been abandoned by the woman I love most in this world,
and here I am, lying on the hospital bed without anyone to look after me...â Caiden said in an
aggrieved tone.
âHow about Noelle? Where is she?â Joan asked.
âShe has already gone home, and she's a busy woman!â
What's with this girl? How can she not keep her promise? Joan was rather tense and worried, and
soon, she showed up at the hospital.
âI brought you lunch,â she handed the lunchbox over to the man lying on the hospital bed as she
said that.
"You're finally here. I miss you so much,â Caiden said kittenishly.
Is this another trick? Joan looked around her in suspicion. She looked a little doubtful.
"What are you looking for?â Caiden asked.
âNothing, why don't you enjoy your lunch?â Little did she know that Noelle had actually gone to buy
him lunch as well.
âWhen is Noelle coming back?â she asked straightforwardly.
âI don't know, maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. Perhaps she won't ever come back
anymore,â Caiden murmured.
Joan was a little surprised at his answer.
Noelle had always been very fond of Caiden. Of course, she wouldn't leave him just because of such
a trivial matter. Nevertheless, why had she disappeared just like that?
"Caiden, here you go. It's your favorite meatloaf!â Out of the blue, Noelle called out cheerfully as she
barged in
For a moment, both women were stunned.
Why is she here again? Didn't she agree to leave Caiden alone previously? Glaring at her furiously,
Noelle was exasperated.
Joan understood at once that it was all an act that Caiden had put up!
âI still have other matters to attend to, so I better get going.â With that, Joan was about to leave.
âStand right there,â all of a sudden, the man in bed yelled.
