Sean said evenly, “It’s what I thought I could do for the family.”

“When did you… With Patrick Stuart…” Jesse trailed off, unable to finish his sentence.

“It has nothing to do with him,” Sean said. “I knew which way I swing ever since I was a child, but I’venever said anything considering how you would feel about this. Of course, I never did replace the rightperson until Patrick, whom I considered worth fighting for, even if it means going against the family.”

Jesse’s visage was cold.

Still, Sean continued, “I understand very well how I feel toward him, and I know the price I must pay.The only thing I can do now is to do my best not to inflict losses to the family.”

“So you’re saying you’re going through with this?” Jesse demanded.

“Yes,” Sean said bluntly.

Jesse’s visage contorted hideously, but no one could accept such a thing immediately.

The ward remained deathly silent, and Sean kept his head bowed.

There was no telling how long had passed until Jesse said,” I’ll never accept this. I won’t force you toreconsider, and I’m in no state to get agitated. Give me a proper response when I’m gettingdischarged.”

However, Sean knew his answer very well and he was determined-whether a month, a year, or alifetime would pass.

His grandfather was too frail to suffer any agitation right now, so he said, “Yes. I’ll have a proper answerwhen you’re discharged, sir.”

“Good,” Jesse growled. “Tell Cordy and the rest to come in again.”

“Yes, sir.” Sean strode out of the ward.

As the others looked at him worriedly, he gave them a look of assurance and said, “Go on in.Grandfather’s asking for you.”

Though she had questions, Cordy decided to stay silent and followed the others into the ward.

Jesse’s rage and disappointment seemed to disappear into thin air, and he was once again kind andgentle to Cordy.” The rest of you can go about your business. I’m fine with just Cordy keeping mecompany.”

“Okay,” Sean said respectfully.

John glanced at Cordy, who said, “You can go back to Cranston House with Sean. Dicky’s there, anddon’t you have something to tell him?”

“Okay,” John nodded. “Take good care of Mr. Cranston. Call

me if anything comes up.”

“Yeah, don’t worry.”

As they left, Patrick could not help asking in the car, “What did your grandfather say? He disagrees withus being together, doesn’t he? I knew he would.”

“What are you afraid of?” Sean asked, looking at him just then.

“What am I afraid of?!” Patrick somehow thought that he was on a completely different wavelength. “I’mnot afraid- I’m perfectly open-minded, and I won’t die because I can’t live with someone. And you knowI’m still highly eligible, and I’m attractive to both men and women…”

“I said I’ll take responsibility, silly.” Sean smiled at him adoringly. “And that means for life. Stop lettingyour thoughts take over-l can handle this.”

Patrick looked at Sean then.

He certainly understood how impressive Jesse could be, which was why he did not really want to makethings awkward for Sean.

But considering that they would be driven apart because of this still left his heart breaking.

He would be aggrieved, miserable, and reluctant to let Sean go. However, he would not want Sean tobe in trouble because of him either.
