Chapter 1703 The Letter
Soon after, Caitlin withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to look at the letter in her
hand with a hint of hesitation flickering in her eyes.
She hesitated, wondering whether or not to give the letter to Joyce. After all, she didn't
know what was written inside.
If he wrote something hurtful, would I hurt Joyce after giving her the letter? But when he
asks about it, won't he be furious if I didn't?
Caitlin rubbed her temples, feeling an unbearable headache.
In the end, Caitlin decided to give Joyce the letter.
After all, I've already made a promise, so it wouldn't be nice not to give it to her, right? At
worst, I could watch her while she read the letter. I could comfort her anytime if her
emotions seemed off after reading it. All right. I'll do that!
Thinking about it, Caitlin took a deep breath, turned around, opened the door and entered
Joyce's ward again.
Joyce was engrossed in reading a book at the moment. Hearing the door open, she
thought the nurse was coming in for a routine check and didn't bother looking up.

Why are you back?”
“I came to give you something,” Caitlin replied with a smile.
Joyce was puzzled. “What is it? Mom, did you forget to give me something earlier?”
“It's not from me.” Caitlin shook her head, put down the basket in her hand, took out the
letter Stanley had written to her and walked toward Joyce. “It's from Stanley.”
Soon after, Caitlin withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to look at the letter in her
hand with a hint of hesitation flickering in her eyes.
She handed the letter to Joyce.
Joyce was first taken aback, then curiously took the letter. “He wrote me a letter?”
Caitlin nodded. “Yes. I stepped out and was about to go back, but unexpectedly, I ran into
him at the door. I spoke with him for a short while, and then he asked me to pass this to
you.”
Joyce stared at the letter in her hand. It was light and thin, but it weighed heavily on her
heart for some reason.
“Mom, did you ask him what he wrote?” Joyce took a deep breath and shifted her gaze to
Caitlin before asking again.
Caitlin shook her head. “I did, but he wouldn't say. He just said that you'd know once you
read the letter, so I have no idea what's written in it.”
“I see.” Joyce nodded in acknowledgement.
Caitlin looked at her. “Aren't you going to open it and take a look?”
Joyce pinched the envelope and said, “Maybe later. He suddenly sent me this letter, and
I'm not quite mentally prepared for it yet. I'll read it after I've calmed down a bit.”
Caitlin nodded. “That's true. All right. You should read it later. I'll stay here and keep you
company for a while.”
“Aren't you hurrying to go back and cook for Dad?” Joyce said with a smile.
Caitlin laughed. “Your dad isn't incapable of cooking. Sometimes, the dishes he makes are
even more delicious than mine. It's just that he's too lazy to cook. If I come home late, it's
a good opportunity for him to be more diligent.”
Joyce laughed heartily. “Mom, you're so bad!”
“Your dad is just too lazy. I have to do so sometimes so he'll do it,” Caitlin replied
nonchalantly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoyce nodded in agreement. “Mom, you're absolutely right.”
They laughed for a while, and then Caitlin looked at Joyce and said, “Oh, by the way,
Stanley got discharged from the hospital.”
“He was discharged?” Joyce was taken aback, immediately sitting up straight, her eyes
filled with a tension she hadn't noticed. “How did he got discharged? Aren't his bones still
in recovery?”
Caitlin's eyes couldn't help but flicker as she saw Joyce's anxious expression while asking
the question.
Is Joyce a little too concerned about Stanley?
However, Caitlin didn't take long to regain her senses and stop dwelling on it. She sighed
and replied, “He's not fully recovered yet, but he said he can walk normally now. As for the
rest, it should be fine as long as he doesn't bump into anything.”
Joyce bit her lip and asked, “So when you saw him just now, he has already been
discharged from the hospital, right?”
Caitlin nodded. “Yes. He has changed his clothes, probably completed the discharge
procedures, and he also asked me to tell you that he left.”
