Jay could tell that there was a hidden meaning behind Cordy's words, but he did not dare contemplate the possibility of a miracle. Cordy did not say anything further.Some things belonged to John alone. Given their relationship right now, she had no right to say anything further. "Congratulations to you." Cordy changed the subject.Jay was stunned for a moment before flashing her a smile.Of course, he knew what Cordy was congratulating him for."Regarding things between you and Zoe, I initially didn't hold out much hope, thinking that you two would eventually pass each other by. Turns out that God is fair after all. Lovers do end up happily ever after," Cordy looked up at the bright moon hanging in the night sky and said with a smile."I still find it unreal now," Jay said rather shyly, "Something that I never dared to even dream of happened just like that…""You deserve it," Cordy affirmed."Thank you." Jay smiled.It was a smile that conveyed the sense of happiness that
But hearing Jay say with such certainty that his heart would ache for her…Happiness filled her heart.She really wanted to kiss him in front of everyone, but she was worried that Jay would bury his head in the ground out of embarrassment."Jay, I didn't mean that your heart wouldn't ache for me. I meant that you wanted me to go home so early surely because you want me to bear many children for you, enough to make up a basketball team."Cordy burst out laughing.Meanwhile, Quinn barely managed to hold in her laughter, chuckling inwardly as she sipped on her wine.She did not drink much, but it was not little either.Jay's ears turned completely red. He held on tight to Zoe and left in a hurry in his wheelchair.Over the years, they had never seen Jay so awkward before.Indeed, every person has his own weakness. After they left, Quinn put down her wine glass and said, "Let's go, too.""Wait," Cordy grabbed Quinn's arm and said, "I'll drink with you.""Huh?" Quinn was taken
"After you've figured out your own feelings and made a decision, have a good chat with Sam and come clean with where you stand." Cordy gave Quinn her advice."Okay," Quinn nodded. "Still want to drink?" Cordy asked."Nah." Quinn smiled.She was almost done for the night.If she drank more, she would become tipsy.Unlike Zoe, who would wake up just fine the next morning after drinking much alcohol, Quinn would feel terrible for an entire week if she were to get drunk.What was more, Patrick had collapsed from drinking too much and it was time for him to head home too."Then, let's go." Cordy stood up to help Patrick up."Need my help?""No need." Cordy called out to Patrick. "Wake up."Patrick opened his eyes blearily and spluttered, "I'm not drunk. Let's continue, come, come…""Come on, time to head home.""I'm not drunk, I can still drink.""Zoe is drunk." Cordy was almost rendered speechless.That was when Patrick realized that Zoe was not around.He smiled smugly. "
But since Nana managed to kidnap her, and since she landed in Nana's hands, why did Nana not kill her?By right, given Nana's character, she would never give Cordy a chance to survive.Was Nana going to torture her before killing her?!"Cordy, don't fear," Patrick said. "Even if we were to die, we'll stay together."Was he trying to comfort her?!Cordy squirmed around once again.She tried to stand up but was unable to move at all."Patrick, can you move?""I can't. I tried," Patrick said helplessly."I can't move either.""You said that we've been kidnapped.""I can only think of Nana Lynd," Cordy said frankly."Me too. The first thought I had was that Nana is behind this. She can't accept the affections that you and John have for each other, so she wants to kill you and put an end to everything. However…" Patrick went on, "If it were her, we'd be dead by now.""So I suspect that Nana might want to torture me before killing me.""Is she that perverted and twisted inside?
"Now that you've mentioned it, I find it strange, too." Patrick agreed. "That woman Nana isn't a decent person. If we were to end up in her hands, she'd definitely torture us to death!""So… who could it be?! Aside from her, I don't think I've offended anyone else," Cordy said straightforwardly."Could it be… the Sachs?" Patrick reminded her.Cordy was stunned.She had not contacted the Sachs for a long while. To her, the Sachs were a bunch of losers who would not dare to make any waves under her nose. In fact, they had to do her bidding. Otherwise, she could reduce them to nothing!After a moment's doubt, Cordy said with certainty, "Impossible. They don't have such guts. The Sachs clearly know that they will lose whatever standing they have in North City without me. They'd never shoot themselves in the foot!""Right," Patrick nodded, believing in Cordy's words unconditionally. "Then who could it be?! Could it really be my enemy?"Cordy really had no idea."But no matter who it
This was no different from when they were not married!"I said that your health is more important.""Are you taking revenge on me? I forced you to be with me and you're taking revenge on me by treating me like this!" Nana broke down and yelled."No," John said coldly, completely unmoved by Nana's mood swings.Nana was scared to death by Lucas' behavior.She would rather Lucas fight with her and flare up at her. At least she would know what he was feeling.But the way he was acting now made her suspect that Lucas treated her as invisible.No.She could not accept that.She risked her life to be with him not so that they could lead the rest of their lives like this!"Lucas, I'm going to sleep in the same room with you tonight," Nana announced as she held back her anger."The doctor said that won't do for now!""I don't care about that. I want it and I want it right now!"The moment she said that, she threw herself into John's arms, but he took a side step and Nana missed.S
Nana hung up and returned to her bedroom.Tonight, she had to wait till Cordy was dead before she could sleep in peace.The night turned darker, and her phone rang.Nana immediately answered the call with viciousness in her eyes. "Is she dead?""Ms. Lynd, we can't find Cordy Sachs," the voice from the other end answered her."What!" Nana's brows furrowed tight. "I told you that she's in North City and I've even given you the address of her villa there. How could you not find her?""We really can't. We even took the risk to sneak into her villa and confirmed that there's no one inside.""Could she be with Patrick Stuart?""Patrick Stuart wasn't there either.""What about in Rocktown?""I've asked our men in Rocktown and Patrick Stuart did not go back there.""How could they simply disappear into thin air?!" Nana raged with fury."We'll continue searching for them!" "After you find her, no matter what you do, just kill her immediately.""Yes."Nana hung up and flung the p
"You can choose not to eat," the man said coldly.Cordy pursed her lips.Was he so scared that she would run?How could she possibly do that in such a dark and unfamiliar place? Who would be so careful?!This person also seemed to understand her very well."Do you want to eat or not?!" the man asked, clearly annoyed. "Yes, she'll eat." Patrick immediately answered on her behalf, worried that she might go hungry.Cordy did not reject the man further. "Thank you."The man was stunned for a moment, as he did not expect Cordy to be so courteous to him. Of course, such professional business people would never expose their true feelings so easily.He picked up a spoon and fed Cordy, spoon by spoon.The temperature of the food was just right. Meanwhile, the consistency of the oatmeal was perfect and even the eggs were boiled to the degree she enjoyed, while the side dishes were refreshing and tasty.Cordy chewed through her food, eating very slowly.She did not feel like the
