Chapter 1161

“Cordy? Cordy?!”

Patrick called out to Cordy repeatedly, but she was not responding, obviously stricken with fear.

“It’s alright now, Cordy!” Patrick gathered her in his arms, his heart breaking just then.

Cordy was trembling endlessly and uncontrollably, the sight of John and Nana just now replaying in her head…

Where did that shot hit?!

Patrick tightened his arms around her and kept assuring her, “It’s alright now, Cordy. I’m here…”

The guests in the hall were flustered and panicking too.

Should they leave?

But which was more dangerous, staying here or going outside?

And were they going to continue the wedding? But the bride appeared to be in serious shock…

While the hall erupted into pandemonium, Patrick promptly made up his mind. “Let’s put the wedding on hold and get out of here for now…”

Cordy suddenly grabbed Patrick by the arm with a sweaty palm.

“Cordy?” Patrick stared at her.

“What happened?” Cordy finally asked.

Patrick certainly had no idea-he was too concerned for Cordy to care about anything else that happened.

Nonetheless, he quickly said, ‘Til go ask.”

Cordy stayed silent, and he took it for her approval.

Patrick whipped out his phone and called Sean, having seen him leave the hall just now and probably chasing after John.

“What happened?” he asked urgently when Sean answered.

“It’s fine. You can continue the wedding,” Sean replied calmly, as if nothing happened at all.

Nonetheless, Patrick pressed, “Is John hurt?”

“It’s nothing serious,” Sean answered.

“Well, where is he?”

“I’m taking him to the hospital.”

“What the hell is going on?!” Patrick snapped a little loudly, feeling that Sean had been half-hearted in his response.

Sean was silent for moments, which left Patrick’s heart pounding.

“Say something, man!” he bellowed, which startled Cordy just then.

“I told you it’s nothing serious, but you refuse to believe me,” Sean said nonchalantly. “I’m taking John to get examined at the hospital. I’ll be back for the wedding if there are no issues.”

“So he’s going to live?” Patrick asked, skeptical.

He was concerned that Sean was lying.

No.

To be precise, he was concerned that John was lying to everyone.

He really gave Cordy the best of himself, to the point that he refrained from stopping the wedding in fear that he would affect her relationship with someone else.

After all, despite it happening in a split second, Patrick understood just now that John was using his own body to shield Cordy.

He would have been shot if Nana did not hesitate.

And after a split second, he leapt toward her to restrain her before dragging her swiftly out of the banquet hall.

Nana had a gun, so Patrick had no idea what happened in the end.

All he knew was that John put his life on the line to protect Cordy…

“Yeah, he’ll live,” Sean said then.

Patrick sighed lengthily in turn.
