Cordy and John returned to the private room, though Bob and the rest promptly pulled John along to drink after they returned.Not wanting John to worry about her being uncomfortable, she picked some songs to sing.And with that, the ladies were singing while the men got drunk in that private room.Soon, it was getting late.After getting a little buoyed from all the singing, Zoe leaned against Cordy and asked drunkenly, "So? What did my dear John do to you?""Nothing." Cordy quickly shook her head."Nothing?" Zoe studied Cordy just then, clearly skeptical. "I could clearly sense him being in such a better mood after you two returned. Also, you're drinking freely now, even though we had a hard time asking you before… Did you really do nothing to him?"Cordy started to look a little guilty under Zoe's stare, and Zoe was suddenly smiling pointedly with an understanding look on her face. "I get it.""It's not what you think," Cordy quickly said—she did not need imagination to know

Presuming that Jay had left as well, Zoe picked up the handbag she left on the couch and prepared to leave."Blargh!"That was when she heard retching from the washroom of the private room.Zoe hesitated for a moment, but she eventually entered to find Jay crouching in front of the toilet, puking his guts in it.Zoe pursed her lips—Jay had always been a light drinker, but he was surprisingly enthusiastic today. Did he not have to work tomorrow?She was just smart enough to apply for leave tomorrow, since she knew she was definitely going to be drinking tonight.Meanwhile, Jay was actually starting to vomit bile even as he questioned why people love alcohol.He would never touch it unless absolutely necessary!Even as he pushed himself off the floor, his legs must have gotten numb from crouching too long, and he started to teeter over to the side…But just before he fell, a familiar figure suddenly caught him. And that dainty figure seemed to be exerting every bit of streng

Their car eventually arrived at Levine Manor, and Jay was running as soon as he got out of the car, vomiting endlessly.Zoe stood behind him, watching as his head sank between his knees. He was just fine in the car just now, but he somehow looked like he was going to puke his guts out again.She began, "Should I get the family doctor—""Achoo!" Jay sneezed again before she got close, and then continued to vomit.It was an utterly horrendous scene! Zoe took a step back and said, "I'll get the doctor."With that, she headed into the manor.-Rudy Johnson—the family doctor—helped Jay into the manor eventually, since Zoe really did not have the strength to do it.As she stepped outside of her room after taking a shower, she saw that the door to Jay's room was still open and that the lights within were lit.She hesitated for a moment, but she eventually entered. Rudy actually had to hook Jay to an IV bag, and the man's face was pale white as he lay in bed.He looked less lik

Cordy turned and keyed in her door passcode, then entered after the door opened.Even so, the man who agreed to leave just now remained standing outside."It's late. You should go," she urged him again."Okay," John replied—yet another quick answer. But his body was honest and remained still.Cordy gritted her teeth and turned to shut the door before turning on the door monitor.John was still standing there.Speechless, she opened the door again right then and asked, "Weren't you going to leave?""I just remembered something…" he said. "You haven't given me anything for my birthday."Cordy pursed her lips—she thought that they were parting ways tonight! Giving him anything would only have given him hope, and her more hassle."Anything would do," John said with a serious look, obviously hinting at something.Cordy sighed, having this feeling that she would not get him to leave if she did not satisfy him.Heaving a deep sigh, she resigned herself and walked up to him, stood

Plum was left staring blankly at Simon. Her own son had never yelled at her like that before! And usually, what she said went, but now, he was scolding her while pointing at her face in front of so many doctors and nurses! It was absolutely humiliating, especially at her age! She certainly could not suffer the humiliation, and her eyes were red as she pointed back at him. "How dare you raise your voice at me…" Simon, however, was too furious to care what she thought.He was absolutely afraid that Cordy would blow things out of proportion and destroy Sachs Enterprises' reputation, as well as his personal reputation for being the No.1 Son of North City. Otherwise, he would not care if Plum was behind bars, let alone to suffer Cordy's tantrums!"Do whatever you want!" he snapped before storming off.Plum's blood pressure skyrocketed then, watching as her son strode off as she watched, leaving her in the hospital!Sue Yorkman, who came to the hospital with them and saw them

As John agreed to Cordy's invitation without any questions, she started to type again.[Bring Dicky…]However, she suddenly paused before deleting the draft.She left her bathroom and changed into fresh clothes before going out to buy food ingredients.She was thinking about cooking dinner—after all, how hard could it be?After getting the ingredients, she downloaded a cooking app and went to work according to the recipes provided… -In the evening, Cordy still had her apron on her when the doorbell rang.She quickly went to answer the door.John was standing outside with a bouquet in his hands. He appeared formal and handsome as ever with his black suit and silver necktie."I came here once I was done with work," he said, explaining his getup.Cordy smiled. She certainly knew that was not the case. "Come in," she said, taking the flowers and giving him his slippers.John put them on before entering and immediately picked up a scent he could not quite describe. It coul

Cordy then gestured. "Try it."There was a slight expectation in her eyes, which seemed to twinkle dazzlingly.John picked up his knife and cut through a slice of the grilled mackerel, politely and elegantly putting it in his mouth and chewed. He did not react much or give any comment, so Cordy could not tell at all if it was good.Still, after he had the mackerel, he had one of the vinegar ribs…And then the rest of the dishes. When he was done, he picked up his red wine and took a small sip."Is it good?" Cordy could not resist asking eventually.Nonetheless, John slowly wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "It's alright. Not bad.""Really?" Cordy quickly picked up her fork and knife, ready to eat.That was when John's long fingers suddenly caught her wrist, leaving her frowning."It's enough for one of us to have food poisoning," he said calmly, then took another sip of his red wine.Cordy naturally could tell what he was getting at, but smacked his hand off.In th

Even as their eyes met, certain feelings were undoubtedly growing.Cordy genuinely did not think that after all the dark times she survived—and more recently Kyle—that she would suddenly begin another relationship. She was not actually sure about this, but she took the first step regardless.Was it John who was good at flirting, or was he not as cold as she thought—not as disenchanted with the world as she believed? And after confirming their relationship, they were suddenly both silent, making things rather awkward. "Do you hate that man who slept with you?" John suddenly asked. There was a hint of nervousness in his impassive expression, while Cordy was just confused why he would ask about that. Maybe because she disliked men after that incident?"I do," she said.John blinked subtly even as Cordy continued, "He was clearly conscious at the time. I remembered it so clearly, begging him to stop and not to touch me… but he never did."The past memory still left her with
