A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1802

Joan managed an awkward smile. There was no one by the old man's side, and she could not bear to leave him alone. Besides, the man looked like he was from Chanaea too.

“Mister, where is your family?” Joan asked.

Dustin was still waiting for her, and she could not stay for long to accompany the old man. “My family? I didn't ask them to come here.” The man drank a sip of water and replied in a small voice.

Is he saying that he really has no one else besides the doctors and nurses here?

“My son is back in Chanaea, and he's busy with work. I cannot bother him with this...” the old man explained.

Does your son think that his company is more important than you? Joan's face turned grim at the thought.

“His career is finally getting off the ground. I cannot distract him.

“Miss, I noticed that you looked quite troubled back in the lobby too. Did something happen to you?” The old man asked with a weak voice.

Joan smiled awkwardly again. She had not expected that the old man was asking about her despite him being in that state.

“Oh, it's nothing. Just something bugging me back in Chanaea,” Joan replied meekly.

The man looked at her with a puzzled look on his face, “Miss, if you trust me, please tell me what's bothering you. I'll help you out,” the old man said with a determined tone.

Forget it. I'd better not burden others with such matters. Besides, he wouldn't be able to help me anyway.

“Mister, it's complicated. I'll think of something, don't worry about it.” Joan rubbed his back gently and reassured the man.

The old man narrowed his small eyes and smiled. There is really nothing I can't solve in this world.

“Miss, I don't like being indebted toward others. Please do tell me what's bothering you back in Chanaea. Don't worry, I will make sure that it gets resolved,” the old man sounded really confident.

Joan cast a glance around the ward and looked at the man on the bed. He doesn't seem like he's an ordinary old man.
