Chapter 906
A Life Debt Repaid
The reason Cordy deliberately tripped herself in Johnâs ward was because she was convinced John wouldnât ignore her.
Even John had to give it to her that she was getting despicable, playing dirty tricks on her way to winning in a relationship.
As such, when he was going to help her up by instinct, he abruptly withdrew his hand.
Cordy simply lay pathetically on the floor, until she looked up to find the cold expression on his face.
âIâll get a care worker if you canât get yourself up,â John said coolly.
âCanât you help me?â Cordy asked, withholding her pain.
âSocial distancing.â
âYouâre saving yourself for Nana?â Cordy scoffed.
âI cheated in my mind before. Not doing that ever again.â
âHaha!â Cordy laughed with great irony and misery.
The love of her life was distancing herself for the sake of another woman.
She gritted her teeth and pushed herself up-no pretenses this time.
However, she still looked a complete mess. Both her hands didnât have the strength to push herself up, and since her legs were fractured in the accident, she couldnât put too much strength into them.
John continued to watch coldly.
The stalemate lasted for a while between them, until John obviously noticed that Cordy couldnât return to her wheelchair on her own. âIâll get a care worker.â
âNo!â Cordy bellowed at him right then.
As John turned to look at her flushed cheeks, she added determinedly, âI donât need anyone!â
âIf you say so,â John said, completely unaffected as he strode past Cordy coldly.
He had no interest in helping Cordy at all, who stared at him as he left without a care.
How could he go this far?
How could he not care about her at all?!
In fact, she thought that this John was completely different from the John in the past; he was able to free himself from the shackles of sentiment so easily!
Nonetheless, John had just reached the door when Patrick appeared and launched a punch at him right in the face.
Pow!
Cordy had no idea when Patrick arrived, but that punch certainly hurt.
John was sent stumbling backwards, and would be floored if he didnât hit a wall first.
âIâve always respected you, but not today!â Patrick bellowed. âYouâre a man, no matter what circumstances plague you! Doesnât your conscience hurt from hurting a woman, and one who loves you so much at that?!â
Patrick seemed to get more furious after he ran, and punched at Johnâs face again.
John tried to evade a little, but failed.
However, he started to fight back at the next instant, catching Patrick off guard and punching the latter on the face in return.
The pain incensed Patrick, who charged towards John in retaliation; soon, a rough scuffle ensued.
