Chapter 894
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy opened her mouth to speak, but swallowed her words. What could she say to stop him anyway?
She couldnât threaten John with suicide, because she wasnât that despicable.
âCordy.â
As John and Nana disappeared from sight, a familiar voice sounded beside her.
Cordy had no idea when Patrick arrived, how long he had been there, or how much he had seen.
She couldnât say anything at that moment.
âIâm taking you back to your room,â he told her, and wheeled her around.
That was when Cordy saw Sean as well.
They must have arrived together, staying behind and quietly watching her misery.
She couldnât control her tears, and kept crying despite the irony of it all.
When they returned to her room, Patrick brought a box of tissues to wipe her tears for her, but she refused and took the box instead.
She slowly calmed down, refusing to let Dicky see her being vulnerable.
She always appeared invincible, and rarely showed how she truly felt to others.
It was after a long time that she finally stopped crying.
When she did, she became immeasurably calm, as if nothing happened just now at all.
âI told you to give up on Lucas before,â Sean said after ascertaining that she had calmed down.
When Cordy didnât respond, Patrick butted in, âWhen did that happen?â
He was asking when Cordy fell for that man.
He had been chasing her around for three years, but he couldnât match a man she just met for three months?
He could accept that he lost to John Levine, that he couldnât replace that man even if John was as dead as a doornail.
But Lucas Lynch? What gave him the right? How was he better?!
There was an order to things, and it shouldâve been Patrick!
âDonât butt in,â Sean snapped at Patrick, a little impatient.
âHow could I not? This concerns my happiness for the rest of my life! I donât get it, Cordy-if you can accept a man other than John, why canât you consider me?!â Patrick ranted with rising agitation.
Sean was scowling, and threatened, âOne more word, and youâre out of this hospital.â
âWhat theââ
âAnd I never compromise,â Sean glowered.
Patrick gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to bear with it since he was on Seanâs turf.
Seeing that Patrick was staying in line, Sean turned to Cordy. âIâd rather not meddle with your private affairs, but Lucas is out of the question. Iâve given you too many reasons, and I wonât repeat myself-
hell, as long as it isnât Lucas Lynch, I can knock him out and bring him over giftwrapped.â
âYou can do that to me right now,â Patrick said eagerly, all too willing for that to happen.
Sean rolled his eyes. âHonestly, you-â
âLucas Lynch is John Levine,â Cordy said, very slowly and clearly.
