Chapter 886
A Life Debt Repaid
Sean was ready to go back to his room,novelxo and Patrick was self-conscious enough to stay and take care of Cordy.
â Patrick,â Sean suddenly called out to him.
âWhat is it?â Patrick asked.
âWhere are you staying?â
âHere, of course. Iâll stay wherever Cordy is, and I can take care of her at night as well. You know she canât move around freely with the state of her legs,* Patrick said, as if it was only natural.
âNo, youâre staying at a hotel,â Sean rebuked him sternly.
âLookâ¦â
âItâs not up for negotiations.â
âYou just donât want us in the same room, do you?â Patrick growled, a little irritated.
âOf course. There should be proper social distancing between men and women.â
Patrick gnashed his teeth in annoyance; although he had yet to earn his title, he wasnât about to leave the hospital.
Making up his mind, he said to Sean, âTil sleep at your ward.â
Sean stared at him incredulously, and Patrick flashed an evil grin at the former. âWhatâs the matter?
novëlxo Youâre not going to turn me down when Iâm just trying to take care of you, right?â
Sean kept an impassive look as he said, âWhatever.â
He strode off, while Patrick looked on smugly as he left.
What a kid-did Sean think Patrick would be deterred so easily?
Cordy was speechless as she looked novelxo at the smug look on Patrickâs face too, but simply lay down to sleep.
The instant she closed her eyes, however, she saw John unconscious on his bedâ¦
Meanwhile, John was removed from his ICU.
He felt like he had been sleeping for a long time, nÃvelxo and only woke up to find that many things had changed.
The doctor checked him from head to toe, novelx.o ensuring that he was fine before sending him back to the standard VIP ward.
At the same time, Nana also woke up, having survived the most critical period. She was already asking to see him.
The Lynds had arranged it so that she was staying right next door to John, probably knowing that Nana would never leave him.
John entered Nanaâs ward to find her lying in bed, novëlxo looking feeble like a candle in the wind, her face stark white.
Her eyes flooded with tears as novelx.o soon as she saw him, and she murmured softly, âLucasâ¦â
She was too feeble to talk, but she still used every strength she had to call out to him.
âYeah,â John replied.
âThank goodness youâre alrightâ¦â Nana teared up, filled with emotions.
âWhy are you crying, Nana?â Keith rebuked her sternly. âYou just cheated death! The doctor said you should be staying calm, but look at you! I wonât let you see Lucas if you keep acting like this.â
âNo!â Nana snapped angrily.
âOkay, okay, I was just joking. You can see anyone you want. Iâll even buy you the moon if you want it, okay?â Keith comforted her lovingly.
âDad, I want to talk to Lucas alone.â
Keith shrugged feebly. âChicks always have to leave the nest, I guess.â
He gestured for everyone else to leave, novelxo and clapped John on the shoulder heavily as he did.
It was both a reminder and a threat.
