A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1099
No longer hesitating, Cordy turned and hurried out of the burning manor under her bodyguard's escort.Their surroundings were thoroughly scalding even with their fireproof overalls, and they could hardly move forward.With the fire blazing as it was, they might not make it out if they had a second's delay, especially without fire protection.But that was not something Cordy should worry about—everyone had made their own choices.It was with great difficulty that she and her bodyguard rushed out of Lynd Manor.At the same time, Cordy saw Sean rush out as well, seemingly with another person in his arms.She was uncertain because the figure was wearing fireproof overalls as well—she rushed over to them and heard Sean bellowing hoarsely, "Take him to the hospital! Now!"Cordy was actually stunned—Sean was so worried he seemed to be losing it!Her heart in turn raced when she had a good look at the person in Sean's arms. "What happened? Is that… Patrick?!""He was shot. I can't giv

'No,' Cordy told herself. 'There are no 'ifs'.'Meanwhile, time ticked away, and soon half an hour had passed.The walkway was so silent one could hear a pin drop, but the doors to the operating room were not open.Nonetheless, there was suddenly some commotion along the walkway, and both Cordy and Sean turned toward it.They found a crowd of medical personnel wheeling two stretchers in their direction, moving so urgently one could feel that the patients were in a dire state even from the distance.Cordy blinked. She did not see the people in the stretchers, but she saw the bodyguard who escorted her into Lynd Mansion following the stretchers. Cordy lowered her gaze in turn.So, the people on the stretchers were Nana… and John?He was virtually disfigured, and even Cordy would not have recognized him if not for the bodyguard.She simply looked on and watched as they were wheeled into surgery.Sean clearly noticed too. "Was that Nana and… John?"He simply could not be sur

Both Cordy and Sean stayed in Patrick's ward to keep him company.They both waited in silence for him to wake up.Then, after a long while, Patrick's eyelids seemed to twitch.Sean quickly noticed and straightened himself as he stared fixedly at the other man.Cordy sensed his reaction in turn and noticed that Patrick was showing signs of waking up as well.She quickly got up, leaned toward him, and whispered into his ear, "Are you awake, Patrick?"Patrick simply felt light-headed and opened his eyes with great difficulty to find his vision blurred.It took a while for him to focus and find Cordy.He tried to move but found himself very limp. Moreover, he barely moved when he winced in pain. "Oof.""Don't move!" Sean suddenly snapped, his voice stern.Patrick turned toward him.Cordy did the same and could not help telling him, "He just woke up, Sean, and he's hurt. Don't shout at him."Sean pursed his lips, but stayed silent.Patrick seemed to remember what happened jus

Nonetheless, Patrick refused. "You'll wear yourself out.""Not really.""Either way, you don't have to. Just keep me company, and I won't be bored," Patrick smiled.Cordy did not press the issue. "Alright. We can chat.""Yeah… About what?" Patrick asked."Anything you like," Cordy smiled faintly.Patrick felt like his heart could melt from her tenderness and suddenly felt the bullet he took was exceedingly worthwhile!"By the way, did you get John out? Is he alright?" Patrick asked.Cordy was silent for a while."Hold on, you didn't?" Patrick exclaimed in surprise.Reasonably speaking, Cordy and John would have left Lynd Manor before anyone else—Patrick was in turn delayed because he doubled back to help Sean."Sorry, but I lied to you." Cordy apologized sincerely then."You mean, you didn't get John out when I called you?""I didn't want you to get hurt."Patrick appeared a little upset at that, so Cordy quickly assured him, "But I'm alright, aren't I? I was just positiv

Cordy smiled faintly. "Really?""Well, he is impressive, so if he actually died…" Patrick continued and suddenly noticed the look of indifference on Cordy's face, adding, "It'd be a shame""You should be worried about yourself." Cordy smiled, though her tone was stern. "You're worried about others when you broke three ribs? The most important thing for you to do right now is to get better.""And once I'm better, will you marry me?" Patrick blurted.He was actually surprised himself when he said that—he had always wanted to marry Cordy, but never had the courage since he knew all too well that he was not all that important to her yet.At least not important enough to entrust the rest of her life with… Like a burglar, he had all the intention but not the courage.Even he had no idea how he managed to say that.In fact, he was panicking before Cordy responded. "I-I was just kidding. I'm not asking to offer yourself to me just because I saved your cousin—""Yes," Cordy suddenly sai

Sean slowly walked toward the ICU, where John was moved after surgery.His vitals were weak, and the doctors said that he would either live or never wake up.It all depended on the patient—his fate was now beyond the realm of medical knowledge.Sean quietly watched him, not quite able to describe how he felt.Perhaps he found it a waste—he had come to admire John a long time ago, as he genuinely found the man to be a genius. He really would have liked to work with John and even entrust him the future of the Cranstons.But now, he lay on the bed in the ICU ward, his fate unknown.Sean sighed—whatever happened to John now, there were things he must do for the man, such as bringing Richard over to keep him company.This might be the last time Richard got to see his father, after all.-Patrick stayed at the hospital for a week.Aside from the broken ribs, he had no other issues—his heart was fine too, which the doctors described as a blessing in disguise.Cordy stayed with him

Sean left John's ICU ward for the day and headed to Patrick's room, where Cordy was feeding him apples.He had a blissful, goofy smile on his face as he stared at Cordy, and Sean in turn smiled slightly, seemingly in blessing.As he entered, both of them turned toward him, with Cordy asking casually, "Is Dicky heading home?"She was naturally aware why Richard was frequently coming to the hospital."Yeah, I told him to head back to Cranston Hall—there's a limit to visiting hours, and he'd be idling staying here anyway," Sean said, before adding, "He'd be third-wheeling if he came here too."Cordy blushed a little, though Patrick was beaming. "He's too polite, honestly… We're family now. He would never be imposing."Sean was speechless. "Yes, you're family. So can I borrow Cordy for a moment?"Patrick was obviously reluctant, but Cordy already put the apple in his hand and said, "Eat it yourself."What…" Patrick was clearly upset, but he could only watch as Cordy walked toward S

Sean scooped Patrick out of bed in an instant, and Patrick glared so hard at the man his eyes were bulging. "What do you think you're doing?!""Toilet break.""The doctor said I shouldn't move! I can do it in bed!" Patrick exclaimed.Sean almost gave him a heart attack—how much strength did he have in his arms?! He was in his forties, but he could pick up another man so effortlessly!"Oh." Sean leaned over to carefully put Patrick back in bed.Even then, Patrick's heart was pounding.He was afraid to move an inch since it hurt to the bone, only for Sean to pick him up as soon as he arrived…He would have come to blows against the man if his bones had mended!That was when Sean saw the bedpan in the ward and brought it over, putting it beneath Patrick.Patrick really wanted to snap at Sean to go out already, but Sean simply moved up close and started to talk off his pants."What are you doing?!" Patrick quickly caught the elastic band of his pants—feeling almost violated jus
