Sean was no close friend of Patrick's, but he knew Sean enough that he would not lie about something so important.If Sean said John would live, then he would live.He turned toward Cordy, and said confidently, "Sean said John would live. He's probably just wounded, so Sean took him to the hospital."Cordy nodded silently.She did not ask any questions—because she was afraid to.It was the same for Patrick.All he asked was whether John was alive and nothing else…"Let's go, Cordy." Patrick helped her to her feet.Right now, he had to take her somewhere safe. He had no idea if Nana planned anything else, and safety was the best policy right now.Perhaps they could go to the hospital to visit John.Running was not an option.He toko Cordy's hand to lead her away while telling the staff, "Please handle the guests appropriately—""Patrick." Cordy suddenly stopped him.Patrick did a double take and turned toward Cordy in surprise."We're staying," she said solemnly.There

Cordy took a deep breath and told Quinn, "I'm counting on you now. Patrick and I will arrange for the wedding to resume.""Okay.""Wait, where's Dicky?" Cordy suddenly remembered."I just saw him follow Sean outside. He must be with John—do you want me to check?""Yeah, thanks,"Cordy and Patrick left, while Quinn called to check if Richard was with John.She went looking for Cordy after she was done, and Cordy had already confirmed the new program with the emcee, and the wedding soon resumed.Some of the guests had left, but not that many—both Cordy and Patrick were people of influence, just as many would need to consider their positions.Moreover, if the bride and bridegroom feel that they could continue, there probably was no danger.As such, Cordy and Patrick stood together one stage once more, looking like a match made in heaven.The emcee livened things up, clearing the gloom before proceeding to the new schedule."Patrick Stuart, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedde

Patrick kept his eyes on Cordy even as he continued, "I don't want to force this. I'm tired of it. I admit that I yearned to marry you, the only woman I've ever loved and the one who makes me want to give up on my former life… To start anew. I'd admit I was looking forward to this wedding so much I wanted to make it perfect, so that I won't have regrets. Even so… At this very moment, I regret it.""Patrick…""I'm sorry, Cordy." Patrick apologized."No, you don't have to apologize. It's unnecessary…" Cordy murmured, knowing very well that Patrick was suddenly regretful because she did not want her to be sad.He was convinced that she still loved John, and nothing she said now would work.She did not want to lie to Patrick, not when he was so pure and innocent."I'm sorry for embarrassing you in front of so many guests. It's willful of me," Patrick said, and reached out to take her veil off.The guests were left stunned, since they did not see a kiss.It was certainly weird that

"Don't worry. Cordy knows what she's doing and won't get up to anything serious," Quinn said bluntly. "If she wants to be alone, she wants to be alone.""Yeah," Sean replied."Are you leaving? Don't let me keep you," Quinn said, smiling faintly as Sean gazed at her.With that, she said nothing else and headed to the hallway outside the operating room.Both Jay and Zoe were waiting outside, worry clear on their faces."Oh, you're here, Quinn!" Zoe was thrilled to see her."Yeah.""Wait, if you're here… what about Cordy's wedding?!" Zoe exclaimed.Even if she disliked how Cordy treated John, she earnestly wanted the best for Cordy regardless."Didn't Sean tell you?" Quinn exclaimed in surprise, thinking to herself then that the geezer was really tight-lipped. "Patrick left Cordy at the altar.""What?!" Zoe could not help exclaiming, and for a moment, the only sound in the entire hospital was her voice.The nurses at the nurse's station turned toward her, and Quinn promptly shu

Richard thought about it and nodded. "Okay, I'll visit tomorrow.""Yeah."As Richard tamely left with Jay and the others, Zoe could not help teasing John as they did, "Cordy's is my bestie. If you need my help in any way, just ask. Should always keep the nice things for the family, right?"John stayed silent and actually appeared haughty even though there was a surging storm in his heart. He could not help heaving a deep sigh after they were gone, and he was shuddering ever so slightly.Cordy and Patrick did not get married. That meant…Still, he just wanted to recover quickly and get discharged soon.He refused to miss out again!-In North City airport, Sean had been calling Patrick repeatedly, but Patrick never answered and eventually turned off his phone.Sean searched for Patrick everywhere—the hotel he was lodging, the Stuarts' businesses in North City, and the bridal suite prepared for him and Cordy.Eventually, he found that the man had arrived at the airport and
