Chapter 1110
A Life Debt Repaid
And yet, Patrick suddenly flinched, catching her off guard.
âH-Himâ¦â He pointed behind Cordy through the pain, and Cordy turned to find that Sean had woken up.
Patrick really gave her such a scare, and she almost thought he saw a ghost!
Taking a deep breath, she asked, âYou were awake?â
âJust woke up.â Sean nodded calmly, appearing more composed than the couple before him. âI didnât mean to disturb.â
âNo, you did!â Patrick snapped, unable to control himself just then. âYou really want to ruin everything for me, donât you?! It took me so much to muster my courage and kiss Cordy, but you had to mess with us!â
Though Patrick was furious beyond words, Sean stayed calm and said,â Then Iâll leave. You can continue.â
With that, he headed straight out of the room as Patrick glared furiously.
It left Patrick taken aback, though Cordy felt a little awkward too, and they were left staring at each other in silence until Cordy asked, âSo? Do we continue?â
Patrick gulped-he certainly wanted to continue, but his ribs hurt so much he could not move at all.
Cordy could see that he had trouble moving as well, so she said, âItâs alright. We have all the time we need to do it later-weâre getting married once youâre better anyway.â
âYeah.â Patrick nodded-he had to compromise for now and wait until he was better.
Then, after that⦠It left him all hot and bothered just thinking about it!
After Sean left Patrickâs ward, a hint of loneliness seemed to appear over his neutral face.
He stood on the walkway, taking out a cigarette when he remembered he was in a no-smoking zone, i He hesitated for a moment and decided to leave the hospital.
However, he had not moved a few steps when a nurse came running up to him, panting, âM-Mr.
Cranstonâ¦â
She was out of breath and unintelligible, but Sean simply waited for him in silence without hurrying her.
He felt as if a lot of things did not interest him now.
âM-Mr. Levine isâ¦â
âDead?â Sean said, trying to finish her sentence since it was taking her a while.
The nurse did a double take-surprised that he would say the word so lightly, which was always a taboo around patients who were in really bad shape.
Nonetheless, she eventually said, âN-No! He just woke up.â
Sean was actually surprised and asked for confirmation. âYouâre saying that John Levine woke up?â
âYeah, he just did,â the nurse explained. âRight after that woman visited him. Itâs a miracle!â
Sean headed to Johnâs ICU ward without delay, where several doctors were examining John at the same time.
Sean waited for a while before going in, and one of the doctors said, âAll his vitals and body functions are normal, so heâs not in danger at the moment. However, heâll need a long time to recover from his burns, and reconstructive surgery would take even longer.â
âI see,â Sean nodded.
âTry not to prolong your visits either-burns are easily infected, and a cleanroom is a more ideal environment for the patient to recover.â
âYeah,â Sean replied, and the medical staff all left.
Sean walked up to John at that, whose facial features were protruding from his bandages.
That was why he clearly saw the smile in Johnâs opened eyes.
