Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2415
"Why? Are you reluctant now? You think I'm an ingrate, donât you? Fine, donât worry. It wouldn't
take me two years to pay you back every single cent of allowance that you have given me!â
Keith winced at his cruel words and without a warning, he started coughing intensely. He was
suffering a relapse.
"What's wrong with you?â Caiden looked at his father anxiously as he asked. There was a trace of
concern in his expression.
The man waved his hand and covered his chest, still coughing incessantly. It appeared that his
breathing was also getting more difficult.
Finally, Caiden got anxious.
âDoctor, nurse, over here, hurry! There's a patient here!â he cried out loud.
Very soon, his mother, Olivia also arrived at the hospital.
âYour dad has asthma, and he forgot to bring along his medication today,â Olivia explained.
Since when did he have asthma? Isn't he always in the pink of health? Caiden looked at the man
lying on the hospital bed with an evidently distressed expression.
âCaiden, why don't you just listen to your dad? His health has deteriorated in recent years, and he
can't go on like this anymore. Eventually, the future development of the company will depend on
you.â There was a pleading note in Olivia's tone.
Gradually, Caidenâs heart softened as he listened to Olivia's words.
All those years, he had been punishing his parents with his indifferent ways, but never even once
had he considered the sweat and tears behind their efforts.
Have I been wrong all this while? Noticing the few grey strands of hair on his father's scalp, Caidenâs
heart shriveled. How rashly have I been all these years!
âMrs. Owens, how is Mr. Owens now? Is he alright?â Jaden rushed toward them and asked.
"He's okay, don't worry. Thank you so much for what you've done these few years,â Olivia patted
Jaden on his shoulder and replied. There was a trace of gratification on her face as she said that.
Looking at the man in front of him, Caiden felt nothing but a heavy guilt in his heart.
It was Jaden who had been looking after his parents when he wasn't around, including the time
when Olivia was admitted to the hospital. At that moment, he felt really remorseful.
"Hey, Caiden, it's time you hold your temper a little,â said Jaden as he walked over to him.
Caiden lowered his head with a repentant look in his eyes
"It's okay, Caiden. As long as you're willing to come home, we'll wait for you no matter how long it
takes.â
Caiden was deeply touched by Olivia's words. It's time that I return to the Owens family.
âCaiden...â All of a sudden, the man on the bed shook his head and called out.
âKeith, he's here. Caiden is right here, donât worry,â Olivia responded immediately.
Slowly, the man opened his eyes and looked around him. Finally, he stopped, fixating his gaze on
Caiden.
âDad,â after a while, Caiden walked over to his bedside and sat down. Tears welled up in his eyes.
The single utterance of âDadâ shook the man in bed. His lips twitched but no words came out.
Instead, tears streamed down from the corner of his eyes. Witnessing what happened before her
eyes, Olivia couldn't hold it any longer and started weeping as she laid her head on Jadenâs
shoulder.
âWhat did you call me?â Keith's eyes widened in surprise as he asked
âDad, you should take a good rest and don't talk for too long. Ill get to it if anything arises,â Caiden
tried to calm himself down as he answered.
This rascal finally gets his head around it! A pleasant smile crept up on Keith's face.
It was smile of contentment and delight.
âCaiden, you're finally returning to us,â Olivia muttered in tears.
âMom,â he held Olivia's hand tightly and greeted her while trembling.
Everything seemed to have happened in the twinkling of an eye, but it also made perfect sense!
âNot bad, Caiden. You're finally returning to the Owens family,â Jaden gave Caiden a forceful pat on
his shoulder as he said aloud at the entrance of the hospital.
He is after all a member of the Owens family!
âWhat are you babbling about?â Caiden glared at him and was ready to leave.
"What about Joan? What are you going to do with her?â Jaden asked.
I'm prepared to give up on that. I've tried to pursue her for such a long time now, and that woman
just doesnât have any feelings for me. She gives me no chance at all. Why should I continue to keep
her in my thoughts and spend all my efforts on her knowing that all these would go to waste?
