Chapter 1003

Patrick had more to say, but then Cordy deliberately provoked him, “So, you want John to have meinstead? Is that it?”

Patrick promptly snapped in agitation. ‘No! Of course not!’

Cordy smiled-she certainly understood that.

However, Patrick was just too good to her. He was always putting her first before all else, and wasespecially worried that she would be hurt.

“I want to be with you forever,” Patrick said as he reached out, clearly unable to resist taking her hand.

However, perhaps embarrassed for some reason or another, he couldn’t actually touch her. Cordyactually found that she couldn’t stand it.

Was he embarrassed?

Come to think of it, it was understandable since this was the first time she was dating a woman.

As such, Cordy reached out to take his hand instead.

Patrick looked at her in surprise; the next instant, he took her dainty hand firmly in his and didn’t let go,as if afraid someone would take her away.

At that, Sean left quietly-he was a third wheel, anyway.

He headed to the open balcony of the hospital and started smoking.

He was a little frustrated, as so much had been going on lately.

Still, he was halfway through his first cigarette when a familiar voice called out to him. “Sean Cranston.”

Sean turned to replace John standing there. He quickly turned back to the horizon while asking flatly,“What is it?’

“I want to work with you again.”

“We’re not on the same side this time,” Sean refused, his distaste for the man all too clear.

Even so, John walked up to his side and said quietly, “Actually, we were always on the same side.”

“You’re not getting Cordy back, even if you do this.”

“It has nothing to do with her,” John said bluntly.

As Sean looked up at him, he added, ‘And you should know that the Lynds are making a move againstyour family.”

Sean’s face dropped right then, and he started to study John.

If his hunch was right, the Lynds wouldn’t think highly of John since they were opinionated against himbecause of his lingering attachment to Cordy. He would have been chased away; hell, he might besleeping with the fishes if Nana wasn’t so hell bent on having him.

In other words, John wasn’t supposed to know anything the Lynds were up to. Yet, he found outanyway.

How smart was he, actually?

’I’m just good at observing and deducting. I could tell that my wedding’s not an accident, and a simplededuction makes everything obvious.”

A simple deduction?!

Sean and Cordy had to move heaven and earth, just to replace out that the Lynds were after their heads!

Sean pursed his lips-there was certainty a reason why John had been the man he took an interest in allthose years ago.

In fact, John might even be more capable than what he gave him credit for. Things would certainly runsmoothly if they worked together, and yet…
