Chapter 835
A Life Debt Repaid
The next day, Cordy prepared to go with Sean to the hospital to visit Jesse.
âCan I join you?â Patrick asked.
âWhy?â Sean almost protested immediately.
âMy grandfather was an acquaintance of your grandfather, and he asked me to visit him. Or arenât I allowed?â
Sean pursed his lips while Cordy tried to calm things down.â Heâs here anyway. Let him visit.â
Cordy naturally knew that Sean and Patrick were at odds and mainly because of her.
However, while Sean stopped arguing at that, only for Patrick to smugly raise his brow.
Sean was at a loss for words. âChildish.â
âDid you just call me childish again?!â Patrick was incensed again-the words were a direct humiliation to him!
Sean was not bothered to retort. He simply turned to Cordy and said, âIâll get the car ready. You just head outside when you finish breakfast.â
âOkay.â
Sean left.
Cordy turned and shot Patrick a glare, who felt a little guilty right then.
âDo you know that weâre living in someone elseâs house right now?â she snapped, a little speechless.
âCanât you cool off a little? I know that the Cranstons arenât as vicious as the rumors say, but they are a grand dynasty. I mean, would you yap like that when youâre at home?â
âI just canât stand him.â
âYou have to stand him even if you canât. That, or youâre looking for a hotel on your own.â
Patrick said nothing else and left right away after breakfast.
Richard naturally followed them, since Cordy was worried about leaving Richard alone at Cranston Hall, given how things were with the family.
A time bomb was hidden among them, and who knew when it would explode?
As they arrived at the hospital and the elevator doors opened, Cordy froze for a moment, while Sean and Patrick saw John as well.
Richard was excited. âWhat are you doing here, Lucas? To check on your leg?â
Johnâs leg was still plastered, but he was using a crutch instead of a wheelchair for convenience.
Before John could answer, Nana spoke beside him. âNo, Dicky. Lucas came to accompany meâheâs worried about me coming alone, so he came even though his leg was hurt.â
Dicky wrinkled his nose, clearly upset.
What was Lucas doing with this woman again?
Should he not leave her and be together with Mommy again?
What was he thinking?!
He suddenly wanted to beat Lucas up, but was worried he would get punishedâ¦
âAre you alright?â Sean asked Nana just then.
âWell, my healthâs always been bad, so itâs normal to get sick. Lucas always gets paranoid, so he insisted that I get checked here at the hospital,â Nana complained, though there was a look of bliss on her face.
Cordy glanced at John just then.
He returned her gaze but remained silent.
âIf youâre done, then make way,â Patrick growled impatiently. âDonât you think itâs impolite, blocking our way into the elevator?â
Patrickâs sudden hostility left Nana a little embarrassed.
