John dashed at top speed, and soon arrived at the wreckage.The three-car pile-up was pure carnage, and there was already a huge crowd standing around the scene.When John saw the car in the middle that was in pieces, and the car plate that was barely hanging on…No.She wasn’t in the car.She couldn’t be.But that really was Sean's car, which he used to drive Cordy around when she was in the capital.John couldn't care less and charged through the crowd, and leaned over the car window to get a look inside.Unfortunately, there were too many cracks for him to see clearly.He gritted his teeth and punched it, but it did not shatter. It was bulletproof glass, and it didn’t break despite the initial crash.John didn’t drag his feet and turned, heading towards the nearest car and asking the driver urgently, "Get me a hammer."Most cars had one in case of emergencies, and the driver quickly brought him his.John dashed back to the black Roll Royce, found a good spot on the win
Sean told John, "Cordy's leg is stuck between her door and the front seat. Her safety belt is also jammed.""Okay, got it." John promptly turned towards the crowd nearby. "Anyone have anything sharp? A knife? Even a fruit knife?!"The crowd around them were restlessly gathering around the wreckage, but was afraid to get involved since the accident looked terrible and the victims probably did not survive.However, they were eager to look around when they heard something was needed.A man soon returned with a two-thumb wide fruit knife. "Will this do?""Sure.""Yes."John took the knife and soon returned to the car, deflating Cordy's airbag a little before cutting Cordy's seatbelt as hard as he could.Although the seatbelt was very thick, John never stopped cutting.Sean could see John’s palm turning red.He doubted that John would go that far if the latter didn’t love Cordy."Lucas!"They both heard Nana screaming for John. She had hesitated in her car for a long while, bu
John didn’t care about anything just to save Cordy, even himself?!Feeling abandoned, Nana glared viciously at him as the vile thought of Cordy dying suddenly occurred to her.If Cordy would just die right then, no one could take John away from Nana. At that moment, the savagery in Nana’s eyes only grew stronger.Meanwhile, John remained oblivious to her growing hatred as he crawled inside and tried to move the seat up front. Alas, it didn’t budge. There was no way to get Cordy out as the seat kept her stuck in place, along with the door beside her.John told himself to calm down, and that he was definitely getting Cordy out.He inspected the interior of the car, and realized that he might be able to pull Cordy out from Sean's side of the car."I'll get you out first," John told Sean, making his decision right there and then."Okay." Sean didn’t turn him down or ask questions. John definitely wouldn’t give up when he wanted to save Cordy that badly.John cut off Sean's seat
Cordy felt her tears streaming down her cheeks, unstoppable no matter what she did…And then, she suddenly felt pain—an unbearable pain that cut her quickly.She opened her eyes with much difficulty, her vision a dizzy blur. She had no idea if she was in a dream, or if she had returned to reality.It was probably the latter… Why else would it hurt so much?But if it was reality, why was she seeing John? His face was contorted, as if he was doing something with full strength… Her eyes then narrowed when she suddenly noticed red blood dripping down on her cheek; the sensation was no different from when her tears wet her cheeks in her dream."John…" she rasped, her voice so hoarse she almost couldn’t speak at all.She suddenly remembered that moment three years ago, when she was caught in an accident as serious as this one.She was in the car with Patrick at the time, and it was also John who saved her.He had always come to save her.Her vision began to blur once again, so
John kept going, even though he had already reached his limit. "I'm getting out. I'll pull you out from outside," he said, and crawled out of the car window.Nana had been standing there, watching as he slowly but surely rescued Cordy, putting his life on the line the entire time.By the time he got out, his whole body was dyed red in blood; yet, he seemed to not notice.In fact, he never stopped to look around when he came out, and was keeping his eye and mind all on Cordy every second of the way. He leaned in through the window, using his body to block out the glass fragments still sticking around the window frame as he carefully carried Cordy out of the car. She was bleeding all over, but he prevented her body from touching the glass shards at all—only he suffered the cuts.Beside them, Nana watched with bloodshot eyes, unable to stand John going that far for Cordy. Despite her growing jealousy, she clenched her jaw and bore it.At the same time, John carried Cordy out of
However, John didn’t stop and promptly got back on his feet to fight the black-clad man.Beside them, Nana was left stunned in fear.When she tried to run up to John and stop him, he had already leapt forward at the black-clad man, whose knife was covered in his blood."John, no!" Cordy shrieked—he would never win against the black-clad man, not when he was unarmed! She could only watch as the black-clad man swung his knife at John's heart, and her face sank in terror."No!"There was a dull thud as the edge of the knife met flesh, but John wasn’t stabbed.He found himself staring in disbelief as Nana jumped in front of him, and the black-clad man plunged his knife into Nana.It could be lethal whether it was her chest, and the world turned silent right there and then.And after dealing that potentially lethal blow, the black-clad man turned and fled into the crowd."Nana!" John shouted.Cordy was staring fixedly at Nana too, watching as the latter’s face turned pale."L-L
Cordy spoke at length, her tears gushing as she did.Dicky's heart ached for his mother as he watched, but his father just wasn't responding.He won't be able to take yet another departure from his daddy, let alone his mommy.Nonetheless, Dicky quietly hid his tears—his mommy was already badly hurting, and he didn’t want her to feel more hurt because of him."Mommy," he called out to her."Yes?" Cordy replied, subtly wiping away her tears."The doctor said visiting hours are over," he reminded her.Cordy nodded, and stared at John's pale face.He remained unresponsive, and so she left unhappily.She never noticed his fingers twitching as she did.-When Dicky wheeled Cordy out of the ICU, they found Sean waiting for them outside.His injury was relatively minor compared to Cordy's, and he wasn’t wheelchair bound. However, the doctor still advised him not to move around too much, given the long list of injuries he sustained."What are you doing here?" Cordy asked him."It
"That's good…"Patrick breathed a sigh of relief, but soon asked, "How did you get into another accident again? Why is it always car accidents?"Cordy frowned. She didn’t get into car accidents that frequently… Though granted, she was in the same car with Patrick in the last one.And the memory was still fresh in her mind… "Let's sit down and talk," Sean told Patrick.Patrick shot him a look in turn and snapped unhappily, venting all his frustrations on him right then. "You were in the same car! Why did Cordy get off worse than you? Were you even protecting her? And you call yourself her cousin?!""It happened in a matter of seconds. It was too fast for anyone to react," Cordy immediately defended Sean.Not to mention, she didn’t want anyone to protect her with their lives."I’d definitely have protected you properly if I was in the car," Patrick said assuredly."As if I didn't have an accident when I was with you before," Cordy exposed him right then. Her injuries at the tim
