Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2061

The presidential suite was fitted with two bedrooms and a living room. Joan and Nancy could each have a room, while Caiden and Jaden comfortably occupied the living room.

“I apologize in advance, Joan,” Caiden said easily before gently rolling up her shirt.

He was horrified by the sight that greeted his eyes. Joan’s entire back was swollen and red, with blood still oozing from several gashes. Caiden felt as if his heart had been caught in his throat. What sort of cold-blooded people are they? How could they have abused her like this!

He was livid. It made Caiden wonder at the amount of inner strength and courage that Joan possessed. No ordinary person could have endured such agony being inflicted upon them.

How fortunate that I happened to pass by! Caiden thought, shuddering. The odds were far too slim for his liking. What if I hadn’t? Would Joan have died?

“What’s wrong, Caiden?” Joan asked meekly, sensing his hesitation.

“Huh? Oh, it’s nothing… I’m fine. This might sting a little, so bear with me,” Caiden hurriedly replied. He picked up the medicine and gently applied it onto Joan’s back.
