Chapter 1890 A Talk Between Two Men
“Good job, Caspian. As long as no one died, everything’s fine.” Larry patted Caspian’s shoulder, feeling relieved.
Knock. Knock.
Joan turned to look at the door, wondering who it could be.
The door to the ward was pushed open.
“Ms. Young!” When Joan saw who it was, she blurted in surprise.
Larry wanted to get up from the bed, but Delilah stopped him “Don’t. Just lie down.”
“Is everything alright?” Delilah looked at Larry in concern.
Larry nodded and smiled. Why is Ms. Young here?
“You young ones always lose your calm when this kind of thing happens.” Delilah pointed at the people in front of her.
Upon hearing her words, Joan and Larry lowered their heads in embarrassment.
Just then, the police captain came into the ward and called out to Delilah. “Aunt.”
“Aunt, why didn’t you call me to pick you up?” The police captain had guilt written all over his face.
Hearing that, everyone in the ward was shocked. Joan glanced at the police officer and looked at Delilah curiously. She wanted to say something but was at a loss for words.
“Come, let me introduce you. He is my nephew.” Delilah smiled.
Turned out, Delilah had found her family not long ago, but she didn’t leave the village. Maybe it was because of her age that she didn’t want to move houses.
“Look for his help if you guys have any problems.” With that, she tapped on her nephew’s shoulder.
After a bit of chit-chat, everyone returned home. Before Delilah left, Larry asked her not to tell Lucius about him getting injured because he didn’t want the child to worry.
“Promise me you won’t do this again. You scared me.” Joan pouted as she leaned against Larry’s chest.
He caressed her hair, and his lips curled into a smile.
Days went by quickly after the incident. The woman who ordered the thugs to kidnap Nancy was taken into custody while Larry and Nancy were discharged from the hospital.
Everything was great, but Caspian still harbored hatred in his heart.
Ding, ding, ding…
Jory took out his phone and saw a familiar number on the screen.
After answering the call, he greeted, “Hello, Caspian?”
Caspian said coldly, “Jory, come out. I’m waiting at the restaurant in your company.”
The way the man spoke made Jory’s heart skip a beat.
It seems Caspian can be manly sometimes.
After hanging up, Jory took his coat and left his office.
At the restaurant, Jory and Caspian sat in a corner in the café. The two of them sat face to face, and they both had stern expressions on their faces.
Caspian was the one to start the conversation and he said without hesitation, “Jory, you know I don’t like to beat around the bush. So, let’s get straight to the point. I just want to ask you this. Can you protect and take care of Nancy?”
On the way to the restaurant, Jory had guessed that Caspian had invited him out because of this. He decided not to show any weakness.
“Caspian, it’s my fault that I didn’t protect Nancy. But, I’ll make sure that this is the last time she gets into danger.” Mustering his courage, he looked at Caspian with determination.
He understood Caspian was doing this for the good of Nancy, so he wouldn’t think that the latter was jealous.
Caspian digested his words and kept silent. After taking a sip of his coffee, he stared at Jory coldly as he enunciated his next words. “Jory, if there’s a second time, I’ll take Nancy back. So please remember the words you said today.”
Jory understood Caspian’s words, so he swore to his promise in his heart.
In the office.
“Caspian, what’s the matter?” Larry looked at the man who had just returned with curiosity.
It must be something big, given how Caspian’s spacing out now and then.
“It’s nothing.” Caspian smiled awkwardly.
Seeing his reaction, Larry put down his documents and walked toward Caspian slowly. Even if the latter didn’t wish to disclose the truth, Larry knew Nancy must had something to do with it.
