Nancy looked on in disbelief at Jay and Zoe leaving heartlessly.
There was no hint of hesitation whatsoever.
"Jay Parker!"
Nancy yelled at him with all her might.
Jay pretended not to hear her and left unperturbed with Zoe.
"Are you really trying to force me to my death?" Nancy questioned him in a loud voice.
Jay refused to respond to her.
Fights never resulted in any outcomes. Real actions were what counted.
Unable to hold it in any longer, Cora charged toward Jay and Zoe in an attempt to stop them from leaving, but before she could do so, Cordy stood right in front of Cora, blocking her way.
Cora stared at Cordy.
"If you don't want things to spiral out of control, I suggest you don't go to them," Cordy said coldly.
Cora bit her lips, clearly unwilling to concede defeat.
Nancy said through gritted teeth, "Don't chase after them. I, Nancy Levine, don't need their pity!"
Cora heard Nancy's words and turned back to her. "How are you feeling, Mom?"
"I'm fine."
"Let's send the patient back to the ward first," one of the nurses suggested.
They began wheeling Nancy to the VIP ward.
In the ward, Cora stayed relentlessly by Nancy's side, talking to her even as her eyes grew red with unshed tears.
