Chapter 836

Nana quickly pulled John along and walked away. “I’m sorry. You’re Cordy’s boyfriend, right? Do you remember me? We met in North City before.”

“Nope,” Patrick was not holding back. “My heart only remembers Cordy.”

Cordy could throw up right then-how much more cringeworthy could he get?!

Nana was immediately praiseful. “Wow, you’re an amazing guy. Cordy must be happy to have a boyfriend like you.”

“You’re doing well too. Didn’t your boyfriend bring you here over something trivial?” Patrick scoffed.

Nana pretended not to hear his derision. “Yeah, he is. I don’t want anyone but him.”

“Keep those cringe parts to yourselves,” Patrick said, unable to stand her right then and turning to Cordy. “What are we doing here? Weren’t we visiting your grandfather?”

Sean came to his senses right then and quickly said, “Take care, Nana. I’m going to check on my grandfather.”

“Okay. Bye, everyone.”

“Bye.”

While they filed into the elevator, Cordy saw John turn to look at her, but he stayed silent again while Nana wrapped her hands around his arm.

Cordy lowered her gaze, hiding all the emotions she felt.

Still, as the elevator moved, Patrick had no words other than, “B*tch.”

“How could you tell?” Sean asked.

“Isn’t it obvious from first glance?”

‘ Well, guess it’s true what they say: it takes one to know one, ” Sean said with subtle irony.

Patrick could tell immediately anyway. “What’s that supposed to mean? Let me tell you this: I’m as straight as they come, so don’t get all sarcastic-“

“We’re there,” Cordy said, cutting the argument short.

She just could not understand why Patrick had to be so hostile toward Sean-building a strong partnership would be beneficial to both families, right?!

Outside the hospital, Nana was staring at the side of Lucas’ face in a luxurious Rolls-Royce.

He had been staring outside the window ever since he got in and never once looked at her.

Nonetheless, Nana hid her rage and put on her usually innocent look, sounding humble as she said, “I’m sorry. Did I upset you just now, Lucas?”

John never responded, so she shifted herself to lean on him.

“I’m so worried about losing you that I couldn’t help saying too much. I can’t live without you, Lucas.”

John pursed his lips in silence when he felt her pressing against him, wrapping her hands around his arm.

Just then, the white bandages wrapped over her wrists were right in front of his eyes.

John gulped and averted his eyes.

“I know you, Lucas,” Nana said understandingly then. “I know you’re just distracted since Cordy is so beautiful-1 mean, even I would be, let alone you. But I also know that this is just temporary, and you’ll forget it soon enough, while I would always be willing to stay with you.”

Lucas still said nothing.

“You hate me for using suicide to coerce you, don’t you?” Nana’s eyes welled with tears as she stared at his stiff expression.

That was right-when John asked to meet Nana the other day, he asked to break up with her.

He told her how he really felt about Cordy, that he did not want to lie to her or himself.

Nana refused to listen, insisting that he was just lost for a moment and that he did not really love Cordy.
