Dicky mentioned that Lucas was amnesiac… So, that was true?
Was he hit in the head and subsequently lost his memories when the bomb struck?
He had reconstructive surgery on the face because it was necessary, since he was terribly wounded there.
But Lucas's dossier that Sean gave her…it couldn’t have been fake.
What on earth had gone wrong? Was this man John Levine or not?!
Nonetheless, Cordy's tears started streaming as if she had lost herself—she was feeling so conflicted, and she was unsure if she should be happy or agonized.
"Hey, you don't have to go that far!" Lucas was shocked by her suddenly bawling.
In previous confrontations, neither of them really came up on top… But now, Cordy was there in front of him, bawling!
He didn’t say anything out of line today, either!
Usually, he would’ve paid her back in full, especially since they used to be constantly at each other's necks. Yet now, he was speechless to see her suddenly crying. "Look, you're the one who molested me and got to see me naked, so why are you crying? Don't act like you're the one suffering here, like I’m in the wrong—"
"John…" Cordy suddenly murmured.
Lucas stopped dead, taken aback by a sudden aching in his chest.
It was distinct, and could never be ignored.
What the hell? Why did it hurt when Cordy called him that?
Nonetheless, Cordy pressed, "Is it really you?"
There was hope in her tear-filled eyes, and Lucas felt the air leaving his lungs.
Cordy's reaction left him breathless—how was she able to make him feel such overwhelming emotions?
At that very moment, he was actually afraid of disappointing her.
Even so… He wasn’t John Levine.
