Chapter 1163

Cordy turned toward Zoe in surprise-she was rarely that serious.

“What’s wrong, Zoe? Are you in shock too?” Cordy asked in concern. “Also, where’s Jay? What’s he doing, not staying with you? If you’re still traumatized, head home, or take a break in the anteroom…”

“Jay left to check on John,” Zoe said bluntly. “To see if he’s dead.”

“He’s not. Sean just called, saying that he’s safe and taken to the hospital-“

“And does that mean you don’t have to care?” Zoey demanded.

Cordy blinked.

Zoe was clearly emotional.

Furious, even.

“John almost died trying to save you, and you really feel nothing? Or don’t you care about that at all?

You’d even continue your wedding after all that- is a wedding more important than a person’s life?!” Zoe snapped, her voice louder with every word.

She had always worshiped Cordy, never questioning Cordy’s actions.

But she could not help doing it now in front of all of Cordy’s guests.

Did John not deserve even a sliver of her sympathy? Did Cordy have to be so cold to him?!

“Zoe, calm down.” Quinn caught Zoe’s wrist and quickly tried to reason,” Cordy just said that John is safe, and they got him to the hospital. And so what if she didn’t go with John? She’s not a doctor, and she can’t help.

John will be fine since he has others with him, and it’s not like Cordy can just leave her guests just like that.”

‘ But it’s no skin off her back,” Zoe retorted.

It was not as if she wanted Cordy to go to John, but Cordy was so eerily calm Zoe feared that Cordy would never visit his grave even if he died for her.

How lonely would John be?!

“And how’d you know it isn’t? Some people hide their misery inside,” Quinn said quietly.

Unlike Zoe, she actually sensed that Cordy’s calmness was not indifference but merely suppression of her own impulses.

And Cordy probably wanted to keep the wedding going because she did not want to afford herself the chance to change her mind.

‘ But…’ Zoe was still indignant.

‘Til carry on with the wedding, Zoe,” Cordy said then. “Patrick has gone through great lengths to prepare this, and I won’t put his effort to waste. Moreover, John is the reason why this happened in the first place. I don’t owe him anything.”

“I-“

Zoe was about to argue, but Quinn held her back and stopped her right then. “I can come with you to the hospital.

As Zoe turned toward her, she started to pull Zoe aside. “Let’s see how John is doing so you won’t worry over nothing here.”

She did not want Zoe to start fighting Cordy, just as she believed Cordy’s decision deserved respect.

“No. I’m going, but you’re staying,” Zoe said, pushing Quinn away just then.” It’d be nonsensical if both bridesmaids left. ’

And with those words, Zoe strode off.

She was definitely worried about John, and…

Well, forget it.

Right or wrong did not matter when it came to relationships.

After Zoe was gone, Quinn turned to tell Cordy, “Don’t worry about it. She’s always been like that.”

“Yeah, I know.”

“She’d be fine in a couple days.”

Cordy nodded.

She did not blame Zoe at all -John had been a brother to her for years, and her bond with him was undeniable.

Moreover, despite her anger and refusal to be understanding, she still told Quinn to stay so that Cordy’s wedding would not be delayed.

What reason did she have to get upset with Zoe now?

It was her fortune to have made a friend like Zoe.
