"I'm coming with you," Sean said, asserting his stance.
Though he wanted Cordy to go, he would never allow her to suffer any grief.
Still, Cordy told him, "It's okay. You've been on your feet the whole night. You should get some proper rest for the day."
"No, I'm perfectly fine. Let's go."
Cordy hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn’t turn him down.
Sean only wanted to resolve the matter as soon as he could. As the eldest of his generation, he was obliged to help his father and grandfather in handling various family issues, and he certainly took that responsibility seriously. Moreover, he wanted Cordy to understand that he would always be at her side, protecting her no matter what.
However, Cordy was unsure why he was so nice to her.
Sure, she was as rich as she was famous. However, she couldn’t see what Sean would get out of helping her so much.
Well, perhaps she could just pretend it was due to their familial bond.
"I'll tell Dicky," she said, since she was worried the boy might feel insecure in an unfamiliar environment without her. She should at least tell him where she went and when she would make it back, to give him a sense of security.
"Okay," Sean replied.
For some reason, Dicky nodded quickly after Cordy told him she was heading to the hospital. Most importantly, he wasn’t asking to go along either.
Cordy didn’t dwell on it, since all she wanted was to follow Sean to the hospital and return sooner.

Nana had been admitted to the VVIP wards of the best hospital in the capital, which were actually separate mansions.
Nana's personal care worker informed Sean and Cordy that she had just fallen asleep when they arrived, and that the rest took priority since she was recovering. Sleeping would especially be helpful since she was weak, considering her frail body.
Sean was scowling, however—in the first place, Nana was the one who asked to see Cordy. He made it clear that he would head home immediately to ask Cordy about it, and that he would bring her over right away if she agreed to it.
