Chapter 982
A Life Debt Repaid
Nana strode down the carpet with her hand linked around her fatherâs.
She was smiling beautifully-a pretty sight under the tender radiance.
Naturally, everyone in the banquet hall was watching them, as Nanaâs father clapped John on the shoulder and passed Nanaâs hand to him.
John nodded respectfully, and took Nanaâs fatherâs place as the man walked away.
Nana smiled sweetly as she wrapped her hand around Johnâs; she slowly strode towards the stage together in the accompaniment of fanfare and flower petals raining from overhead.
Even as the air seemed to swirl with the scent of romance and bliss, Cordy watched with clear indifference.
Patrick was watching too, but he would glance worriedly at Cordy from time to time.
Noting the deep crease on her brow, he told her, âDonât look if you dont want to. Itâs not that interesting.â
He seemed dead sure Cordy still felt upset about the wedding, until he heard her say, âYouâre hurting my hand.â
Startled, Patrick promptly released her hand, while Cordy smiled silently.
Naturally, she didnât really blame him for it either, and even explained, âIâm fine. I only came because I was mentally prepared for this.â
âWell, why am I getting so upset?â Patrick growled through his teeth.
Cordy couldnât help flashing a tender, gorgeous smile at his reaction.
John, who was passing them again with Nana, just happened to see that smile.
The banquet hall was very dark, but just as the spotlight shone upon him and Nana, they had a clear view of those immediately around them.
And the instant John saw Cordy smiling, Nana saw him watching Cordy.
She had immediately sensed him behaving strangely, too.
Naturally, she was the one who arranged for Cordy to be seated right below the stage so that Cordy had a clear will of her grand, blissful wedding with Lucas.
Despite her spiteful payback against Cordy, she immediately saw how grandly Cordy was dressed for the occasion.
There was no question that Cordyâs beauty was breathtaking-even Nana herself was stunned, let alone John!
Cordyâs beauty was certainly a delight to behold, but for Nana, it sent her into a panic.
She suddenly regretted letting Cordy sit right beneath the stage. Hell, she was surprised by the other womenâs spitefulness!
Cordy mustâve dressed like that to steal the limelight from her, didnât she?!
While Nanaâs attention was focused on Cordy, Johnâs was on Cordyâs smile at Patrick.
Suddenly, Nanaâs body seemed to turn limp. However, John caught her in his arms almost by instinct.
She was still enfeebled-the doctors were repeatedly insisting that she not push herself even when she was getting discharged.
In fact, they had a medical team ready at the hotel, prepared to operate on her in case of emergencies.
Even the consequences from a fall like that would have been unthinkable, and it certainly drew many gasps from some of the guests in the banquet hall.
Cordy was naturally drawn towards them because of her curiosity as well, but she only turned to find John and Nana caught intimately in each otherâs arms.
