A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1110

And yet, Patrick suddenly flinched, catching her off guard.

"H-Him…" He pointed behind Cordy through the pain, and Cordy turned to find that Sean had woken up.

Patrick really gave her such a scare, and she almost thought he saw a ghost!

Taking a deep breath, she asked, "You were awake?"

"Just woke up." Sean nodded calmly, appearing more composed than the couple before him. "I didn't mean to disturb."

"No, you did!" Patrick snapped, unable to control himself just then. "You really want to ruin everything for me, don't you?! It took me so much to muster my courage and kiss Cordy, but you had to mess with us!"

Though Patrick was furious beyond words, Sean stayed calm and said, "Then I'll leave. You can continue."

With that, he headed straight out of the room as Patrick glared furiously.

It left Patrick taken aback, though Cordy felt a little awkward too, and they were left staring at each other in silence until Cordy asked, "So? Do we continue?"

Patrick gulped—he certainly wanted to continue, but his ribs hurt so much he could not move at all.

Cordy could see that he had trouble moving as well, so she said, "It's alright. We have all the time we need to do it later—we're getting married once you're better anyway."

"Yeah." Patrick nodded—he had to compromise for now and wait until he was better.

Then, after that… It left him all hot and bothered just thinking about it!

After Sean left Patrick's ward, a hint of loneliness seemed to appear over his neutral face.

He stood on the walkway, taking out a cigarette when he remembered he was in a no-smoking zone.
