A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2916

"Okay," Jessica replied. Since Joan didn't want to elaborate any further, she wasn't going to push the subject. She knew that Joan had to have her own reasons for doing the things she did.

After a few days of being under observation in the hospital, Joan was finally discharged. Other than Jessica, no one else knew where she would be moving into.

"Are you sure you're all right with living here alone?" Jessica fretted, one hand on Joan's shoulder. "Won't you get scared at night? Maybe

I should move in with you..."

Scared?What's there to be scared of? Joan shook her head. She really needed her own space and time to think.

"Then, what if Larry—"

"No!" Joan cut her off before she could even finish her sentence.

Jessica could tell that Joan was already starting to grow a bias toward Larry. As such, she promptly shut herself up and left as soon as they had completed all preparations.

Afterward, Joan sat on a swinging chair in the yard, staring at the endless blue skies and fluffy white clouds above her as she let out a relieved sigh. Won't it be great if everything could end right now, and everyone would go on with their own lives?

Her phone kept ringing, but she didn't notice it at all, completely lost in her own thoughts.

"What?" Larry's jaw dropped as he confronted one of the doctors at the hospital. "Joan was discharged? When? Where did she go? Who took her?"

"She was discharged yesterday, sir. A woman came to pick her up."

It wasn't Dustin nor Caspian, but a woman?Was it Jessica?Maybe Nancy or Abelyn?But that doesn't sound right. If it was really one of them, they would have notified me beforehand!

"It was me." Jessica sat on a sofa in the living room, hanging her head as everyone else crowded around her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" demanded Larry.
