Chapter 1090

Sacrifice was not enough to earn one’s love, and John had already told Nana before that he did not love her at all.

He was simply incapable of falling in love with a woman other than Cordy.

‘Just go,’ he told her. “I don’t want to owe you again.’

All Nana found was irony. “You’d rather die than owe me, so that I cant sully your relationship with Cordy?! You’re really obsessed, John!”

’I am,” John replied bluntly.

Most importantly, Nana was never going to get him out given this situation, nor did he want Nana to die with him.

Nana’s eyes were red even as tears streamed down her cheeks. “Don’t you regret anything at all, John?”

’I don’t.”

Tine.”

Nana turned to leave right then-if he did not care, she had no reason to humiliate herself.

She could let him die as he wished!

However, even as broke into a frantic dash out of the basement, she found the manor already engulfed in flames, and there was no exit in sight.

Worst of all, the rest of her family was gone…

The skies beyond Lynd Manor were utterly dark as the smoke from the inferno engulfing Lynd Manor grew further out of control.

Sean and his men were putting on their fireproof overalls and were ready to charge inside.

’I’m going!” Cordy cried, determined.

Sean never gave in, let alone hand her one of the overalls.

‘Sean, I’m telling you—I’m going in!” Cordy breathed as slowly and clearly as she could.

’I can do it myself,” Sean said, unmoved.

‘Give me one of those, or I’m charging inside without it,” Cordy threatened.

‘Do you think they’d listen to me or you?” Sean asked, glancing at the bodyguards around them.

“I’ll hate you for this,’ Cordy snapped.

’It’s no issue.”

’I’m being serious, Sean!” Cordy bellowed, glaring at him in turn. ’Let me in now, or I swear I won’t ever return to Cranston Hall. Believe it!”

Sean gulped, clearly restraining his frustration as Cordy kept challenging the limits of his patience.

’I don’t fear death,’ Cordy said very slowly and clearly.

‘Have you considered Dicky? Are you going to orphan him?’ Sean asked.

Cordy’s heart skipped a beat, wavering ever so slightly at the thought of Richard, but she did not actually give in. “I have to go in.’

‘For John Levine?’ Sean asked bluntly.

Patrick had been standing nearby and keeping quiet throughout, though he reacted ever so slightly when Sean asked that.

Cordy did not deny it either, and it was certainly the truth that she was going in to save John.

Even if he was dead, she must see the body.

She had enough, especially after he reappeared so bizarrely after disappearing four years ago!

’I’ll save him. As long as he’s alive, I’ll save him even if it kills me,” Sean promised.

’I don’t need you to die for me.’ Cordy remained stubborn. “Your task is to retrieve that document. You don’t have to care about anything else.”

’Cordy!’

Even so, Cordy could not stop her emotions from erupting right then! Relationships go both ways, Sean! Do you think I want you to die when you refuse to let me?!”
