Cordy gave in to John.
She was willing to believe in love again for his sake.
John in turn gazed upon her in his arms, feeling her body's warmth and the strength with which she tightened her arms around his waist further with each second.
There was a smile on his lips.
Even if the price he paid was a little too costly, this made it worth it.
Nothing else mattered other than her.
He in turn gathered her tightly in his arms. Feeling her in his arms with such certainty left his heart racing uncontrollably too.
They simply embarrassed each other like that, with neither letting go because they were not going to.
There was no telling how long had passed when John had to stifle a cough, and Cordy finally realized with a start.
She most certainly had been greedy about feeling him there with her, worried that he would vanish if she let him go again.
Even if she was rejoicing, she was still caught with lingering fear from almost losing him in this trial.
Nonetheless, she reluctantly pulled herself out from his arms, knowing that he should head home right now to recover—he probably was struggling to stay on his feet at the moment.
But as she pulled away from him and looked up into his eyes again, she blushed again.
Around John, she definitely had not been this… enthusiastic.
As such, her abrupt and impulsive action just now left her a little embarrassed.
