Sean joked, "Congratulations on not dying."John smiled in turn. He then rasped, speaking with such difficulty as if his throat was dead, "Thanks. Though it seems my luck has run its course too."Sean naturally knew what John was referring to.Cordy was getting married, after all—he was going to lose her.After having done so much, he would be lying if he said he did not do it for Cordy."Patrick's a good man," Sean said. "It's no issue leaving Cordy and Dicky in his care."John's smile broadened—leaving his son and beloved woman in another man's care was no issue? It was true that a man like Patrick would never allow Cordy to be hurt again or his son to be bullied.And their lives might just be good with him.Even so, that was his son and beloved woman they were talking about… and Sean was telling him to give up before he did anything regardless!"Take your time and get some proper rest. You might be able to get out of bed in time to attend Cordy's wedding," Sean added wi

"Lucas," Nana called out feebly in delight.In contrast, John was indifferent as his wheelchair stopped beside her bed.Nana tried to get up, but John said, "I'll just say a few things. Then I'll be gone."In other words, she did not have to do anything—because he would not care.Nana bit her lip to hold back her tears just then."I just came to tell you that I'm alive," John said bluntly. "But our so-called marriage is also over. And call me John Levine—Lucas Lynch is gone from this world."Nana's tears quietly streamed down her cheeks, but she asked, "Can you really still get together with Cordy now?"She did not ask about herself since she was in no place to talk terms with John now. Moreover, the fact that none of the Lynds were visiting her indicated that they had trouble fending for themselves.She could not compel John with her family's influence, and she could not coerce him with suicide.And since John saved her almost at the cost of his own life, he had already rep

Sean asked, "Why? Not used to the place?""No, but it's no good if I had to keep staying at your place, right?" Patrick said, slightly embarrassed."When did your skin become so thin?""Are you saying that I was already thick-skinned?!" Patrick snapped—Sean really knew how to push his buttons."Stop it. I arranged this," Cordy said, cutting them short since she could not stand their squabbling.Patrick pursed his lips but did not breathe a word, while Sean would never provoke a fight for no reason."Even if you're getting discharged, the doctors advised that you keep resting for another three months and not overexert yourself," Cordy explained. "I'd be worried if you had to go home alone, let alone board a flight to Rocktown. And since there's still much to do for me in the capital and North City, you can stay here with me for the time being.""Alright." Patrick agreed to it right away, too afraid of arguing at all.Sean could not help chuckling, and Patrick had the feeling tha

Cordy was silent as she listened to Richard. It was true—whenever she took Patrick out on a stroll, they almost always ran into John.She was actually surprised, since John was never that outgoing, leaving her wondering if he was suffering from cabin fever.That was the case for Patrick, who was bored out of his mind staying in bed all the time. Meanwhile, Richard continued seriously, "Daddy didn't have to keep the bandages on his face too, and I heard the doctor telling him repeatedly to take them off or it would hamper his recovery. But Daddy insisted on keeping on the bandages, and now that I think about it, he must be worried that you'd be spooked since his face would look too scary."Cordy could not quite say how she felt just then.It was as if there was something missing between them, and she had since resigned herself to give up on him.Now, she really did not want to remember him—it was fine as long as long as they were both alive, even though they would be apart."A

Patrick could understand the reasoning, but hearing it from Sean upset him anyway.He did save Sean's life, so did Sean have to treat him like this?Was he saying that saving Sean's life was less than John's achievement in destroying the Lynds?Patrick got further upset the more he thought about it, but he never said it out loud.Sean, however, seemed to notice that Patrick was moody anyway, and he softened his tone. "I admire John as a great man. I would have liked him to work for me ever since he took down your cousins, though that's impossible now after all that's happened."Patrick remained silent.Yes, John was extraordinary, but was it not a little too cold to tell a rival that in the face?!Fortunately, the servants arrived with lunch and left it on the table of the veranda."How about eating out here? The air is good," Sean asked Patrick."You already asked your servant to bring it out, and you're asking me now? Pointless, isn't it?"Sean smiled, but he did not deny i
