Nana strode down the carpet with her hand linked around her father's.She was smiling beautifully—a pretty sight under the tender radiance. Naturally, everyone in the banquet hall was watching them, as Nana's father clapped John on the shoulder and passed Nana's hand to him.John nodded respectfully, and took Nana's father's place as the man walked away.Nana smiled sweetly as she wrapped her hand around John's; she slowly strode towards the stage together in the accompaniment of fanfare and flower petals raining from overhead.Even as the air seemed to swirl with the scent of romance and bliss, Cordy watched with clear indifference.Patrick was watching too, but he would glance worriedly at Cordy from time to time.Noting the deep crease on her brow, he told her, "Don't look if you don't want to. It's not that interesting."He seemed dead sure Cordy still felt upset about the wedding, until he heard her say, "You're hurting my hand."Startled, Patrick promptly released her

So that's what everyone was gasping about?And Cordy was wondering if it had been something serious.But did they have to flaunt their affection like this, when they were just a few paces away from the stage?Were they that eager they couldn’t wait for when this ceremony was over?Cordy turned her eyes away coldly, while John helped Nana up the stage.The emcee stepped aside, letting the priest quickly go through the grand motions of blessing the new couple.There was certainly no delay—the wedding ceremony was being rushed because of Nana's poor health, and they were soon at the part of the exchanging of the vows.It was quite the simple ceremony.As Nana and John stood at the center of the stage, the priest asked John, "Lucas Lynch, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedded wife; love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health; and, forsaking all other, keep thee only unto her, so long as ye both shall live?""I will," John replied.Then, the priest turne

That was why the crowd felt sympathetic towards Nana."Last but not least, I must thank my husband, Lucas," Nana continued.She said the words 'my husband' with apparent love, but John merely watched her quietly, pursing his lips as he did so."I never believed in love, and was convinced that only my family would love me in this life. I also believed that I had no right to love, what with my poor health…until the day I met you. That's when I found out that I can be loved too, and was capable of loving someone so much. You complete me, and I'm thankful you came into my life."Nana's eyes welled with tears as she finished; it was an especially moving sight as it glinted against the spotlight.John's Adam's apple shifted, but he remained silent nevertheless.At the same time, Nana spoke through her tears, "You are my world, Lucas. I love you… So, so much."Earnest, sentimental declarations of love always stole hearts, did they not?And it had to be a frail girl who couldn’t stop h

Meanwhile, the banquet hall erupted in thunderous applause as Nana and John stepped down from the stage.Soon, the wedding luncheon started, and the table was served full of dishes fit for kings.Cordy hadn’t actually done anything, but found herself staring at a little hill of food on her plate.Anyone who did not know would think she was famished."That's enough, Patrick," Cordy whispered to him."No! You should be eating more to get your money's worth," Patrick said seriously. "You'd be hurt emotionally and physically otherwise, and that would be a net loss."While Cordy was left speechless, Patrick urged, "Go on, eat."Cordy decided then that the man spoke sense, and started to eat as much as she could.Halfway through, John and Nana came to toast everyone, with Nana in a wheelchair.Everyone promptly rose to their feet and cleared a spot for Nana, while congratulating everyone loudly."Thank you," John answered politely.He didn’t even glance at Patrick or Cordy, and qu

Sean's reply was: [I'll talk to Jean. I'll tell you later.]If there was nothing else impeding them, they could leave—even if it meant they had no idea who the culprits trying to kill Jesse was.Feeling a little uneasy, Cordy got up. Patrick was immediately worried. "Where are you going?""To the ladies' room.""I'm coming with you.""I need to relieve myself.""...Alright, I'll wait.""Yeah."Cordy left the table and headed to the ladies' room; she inadvertently ran into John, who was standing just outside the door.She looked left and right, but John was alone and Nana was nowhere in sight."She's inside," he suddenly explained, reading her mind Cordy said nothing as she strode past him. Supposedly this was how clingy Nana was, needing her husband around even when she goes to the toilet."Cordy," John suddenly called out to her, but she simply ignored him and left. He pursed his lips, but in reality, he had no right to stop her given the circumstances. -Cordy just

John frowned; Nana clearly sensed his displeasure, but refused to let go of his neck anyway."We’re a lawfully married couple now, Lucas," she said."Quit messing around. I need to tend to our guests soon." John tried to push her away, his impatience evident."Yes, you can do it soon. It won't take that long…" Nana retorted, staring at him fixedly in the eyes."Don't play around. The doctor insisted you shouldn't do anything taxing.""I don't care.""But I do," John breathed, very slowly and clearly.Nana beamed, clearly elated by his words. "So you love me? You don't want me to die?" "Yeah," John replied, though that was only because he knew all too well that he wasn’t going to survive if Nana died anyway. "Let me go," he told her again. "I'm going to drop on you.""Are you sure you would?" Nana asked, still refusing to let go. "And aren't you tired, holding yourself up? There's no body contact between us at all.""I'm afraid you'd get hurt. The doctor said you can't affo

At the very next instant, John watched as stewards in the hotel appeared on the floor and knocked on every door, crying, "There's a fire in the banquet hall! Please leave your room with us immediately for evacuation!"As their voices echoed repeatedly, the doors opened. Everyone was in shock by the unexpected fire.The banquet hall was on the first floor, and the fire there might have spread upstairs if it was bad enough—if the firefighters could not stop the fire in time, naturally.Nonetheless, the walkway was a sight of confusion as the guests ran out of their rooms."What's going on? Why is there a fire? What if it spreads up here? Are we going to die?!" someone asked loudly.The scene was even more confusing.However, one of the hotel staff quickly calmed things down. "There's no need for panic! There's a fire escape that goes straight outside, and you just have to follow our directions. The firefighters have already been informed. They’ll stop the spreading fire soon and ke

Cordy worked hard to stay calm.She left her phone on the table out at the banquet hall, and so had no way to call for help directly.She gritted her teeth, and started to hammer against the door viciously.However, most of the other guests already left the guest hall and there were no others in the ladies room. She therefore couldn’t alert anyone despite the ruckus she was causing.Her danger senses were screaming now, and she kept hitting the door. "Hello? Is there anyone out there?!"There was still no response, and at that point, Cordy didn’t have to guess if her situation was an accident.In fact, there was no doubt that this was all Nana's doing—and given Nana's heinous nature, she wasn’t such a trivial person to go that far just to lock her in.Cordy worked hard to quell her unease, and decided that she had to free herself since there was no one out there to help.She looked around the toilet cubicle, but the doors and the walls reached up to the ceiling, affording her
