Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2059
She cowered back in fear, but instead of seeing Gabriella, the young man’s voice rang out.
“Alright, thanks for your help.”
“It’s fine. You can ask for my help anytime,” the receptionist answered happily.
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, they gave a start. If this isn’t Gabriella, could it be that…
Joan tried to open her eyes to see who it was, but her eyes were hurting too much, causing her vision to remain blurry.
“Get up. You shouldn’t stay here for long. Let’s go out.” The young man and his friend helped them up.
“Caiden, if your guess is right, I don’t think we should leave the hotel now. Let’s go to another room lest we run into their kidnappers.”
The women were wounded, and one of them was pregnant. Hence, it was best to be safe.
“Alright. Let’s do that.”
The room was still intact, and the door was locked once again. Yet, the women were no longer in the room.
“Keep on guard here until I return. No matter how much they beg or cry for help, don’t open the door or feed them anything,” Gabriella reminded the thugs.
“Got it!” they replied unanimously.
Ha! Let’s see how long you can hold on. Perhaps you might die before I even take action! Gabriella took one last look at the door before stalking away on her heels.
“Who are they? This is kinda complicated.”
“I don’t know. Anyway, we’re being paid to keep an eye on them. It doesn’t matter who they are.”
The men were chattering in front of the door.
Meanwhile, Joan and Nancy were brought to another room in the same hotel.
“Water. I want to drink water,” muttered Nancy.
“Please hurry and give her some water.” Joan pointed at Nancy.
“Why were you locked up, though? Look how disheveled you are right now.” One of the young men in his twenties laughed.
“Shut up!” Caiden Owens glared at his friend.
His friend was rendered speechless by how rude he was. We don’t even know who they are, but saved them anyway. I’m already kind enough to them!
“Joan, are you alright? Does it hurt?” Caiden inquired, concern evident in his voice.
Huh? Does he know me?
“W-What did you just say? Do you know me?” Joan panted.
Caiden promptly replied, “Yes, we studied at the same college. I’m one year younger than you.”
Wow, seriously? The other young man immediately scurried over.
“So you’re the senior that Caiden couldn’t get over?”
Caiden flushed in embarrassment at his friend’s sudden declaration.
“Go take care of the pregnant lady.” He hurriedly shooed his nosy friend away.
How could he blurt everything out right now?
“I’m sorry. I’m really exhausted and need to rest.” With that, Joan shut her eyes, she was worn out from the fear and worried over the past few days.
Apart from her disheveled hair, weary expression, and chapped lips, there was blood at the corner of her lips and a cut on her arm. Caiden felt his heart clenched painfully at the sight.
What happened to her? Why is she so depressed? I can’t believe someone tried to harm her.
Nancy had fallen into a deep slumber.
“Jaden, find out who did this to them.” Caiden’s gaze flashed with indignation.
“Who else? Their love rival, no doubt,” came Jaden Ford’s reply.
“Stop it. Find out who’s behind this.” With that, Caiden stalked out of the room.
