Chapter 1162

Sean was no close friend of Patrick’s, but he knew Sean enough that he would not lie about something so important.

If Sean said John would live, then he would live.

He turned toward Cordy, and said confidently, “Sean said John would live. He’s probably just wounded, so Sean took him to the hospital.”

Cordy nodded silently.

She did not ask any questions-because she was afraid to.

It was the same for Patrick.

All he asked was whether John was alive and nothing else…

’Let’s go, Cordy.” Patrick helped her to her feet.

Right now, he had to take her somewhere safe.

He had no idea if Nana planned anything else, and safety was the best policy right now.

Perhaps they could go to the hospital to visit John.

Running was not an option.

He toko Cordy’s hand to lead her away while telling the staff, “Please handle the guests appropriately-“

“Patrick.” Cordy suddenly stopped him.

Patrick did a double take and turned toward Cordy in surprise.

“We’re staying,” she said solemnly.

There was even more surprise in Patrick’s eyes then.

At the same time, Zoe and Quinn recovered from their initial panic, while Jay immediately wheeled himself to Zoe’s side.

It took her a while to recover, and she still had no idea what just happened when she came to her senses, only that John charged at someone else and a gun fired when he did.

She had no idea what happened to John, while Jay made sure that there was no danger in the hall, and left the hotel as well.

“Are you alright, Cordy?” Zoe asked in agitation.

Quinn was utterly concerned too.

’I’m fine,” Cordy said.

She was suddenly and eerily calm, as if the panicking woman just now instantly vanished.

Turning to Patrick, she said, “Our wedding must continue, Patrick.”

“What?” Patrick exclaimed in surprise. “Continue… Now? But what if-’

“There won’t be any problems now that Nana’s gone,” Cordy said solemnly.” The Lynds are powerless, and no one would help her. That’s why she had to come alone, and she won’t be any threat now that she’s subdued. That’s why we can continue.”

Her reasoning was crystal-clear, and Zoe had no idea if she should be impressed or horrified.

Should anyone not be panicking after what happened?

Sure, Cordy had inner strength and a stabler mood than most, but John had just put his life on the line for her.

Should she not at least… care?

“We’ll carry on with the wedding,” Cordy repeated resolutely to Patrick, even straightening her bridal gown and hair as she did. “Let’s apologize to the guest for the incident, and we’ll respect their decision whether they stay or leave. Even so, we’ll have our wedding today-even if it’s just us two. ■

Patrick stared at Cordy silently, but her gaze remained staunch. “Marriage is once in a lifetime. You’ve spent a long time preparing something special, and I don’t want to ruin it.”

Patrick hesitated for a couple seconds and nodded, “Alright, just wait for a moment while I make the arrangements… and check if our emcee has wet his pants before we continue.”

’I’ll come with you.”

Cordy was about to leave with him when Zoe stopped her. “Cordy,” Zoe called out with a grim expression.
