Cordy returned to the banquet hall, where Patrick was growing restless from waiting for her.She smiled despite herself—he really was a little impatient, since she was barely away for ten minutes. "I would’ve gone looking for you if you didn't come back," Patrick said a little grumpily as he took her hand."What, did you think I'd lose my way?" she retorted in slight annoyance as they returned to their seats.Patrick, however, said seriously, "You won't lose your way, but you're so beautiful everyone would want to kidnap you. It's not easy for me to get myself a wife. Who would I cry to if she was abducted?"Cordy was a little speechless—his danger sense was a little too keen.However, before he could continue, everyone turned towards the stage as the wedding's emcee started speaking. "Esteemed guests, thank you for taking time off your busy schedules to attend this blessed wedding ceremony of Mr. Lucas Lynch and Miss Nana Lynd. The ceremony shall begin at 12:08 pm. Once again,

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

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

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

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
