John touched his ridiculously swollen lip—Patrick was really trying to kill him just now.
He blinked and turned to glance at his ward, but not at the hidden camera.
He only noticed it just now, and understood that Nana was now watching everything he did.
John couldn’t help clenching his fist to restrain himself.

In the next room, Nana was calmly watching the feed from the hidden camera through her phone.
She saw John being cold towards Cordy, and how he didn’t help Cordy even though she was on the floor.
It certainly felt cathartic—she knew no one could ever take anything she wanted from her.
Cordy never amounted to anything, after all!
Tapping out of the app on her phone, Nana then sent a text: [Don't make a move on Cordy yet. Wait for my orders.]
[Yes, Miss Lynd.]
Nana sneered—she had no reason to take any risks now that John recognized the reality..
In fact, she would actually enjoy Cordy being forced to watch her and John being happy while suffering from her unrequited love.
The world had been unfair to her since she was a child, which was why she loathed everything and despised seeing people doing well.

As Cordy and the others returned to her ward, they called in a doctor to tend to Patrick, since his face was distinctly swollen.
"Ow!" he yelped loudly, a clear contrast from the man who fought so violently without a regard for his own life.
"I'm doing my best to make it hurt less, Mr. Stuart," the doctor said, afraid to touch Patrick again since he kept yelping each time he touched his face.
"Why does it hurt so much if you were? Whatever, forget it. I'll do it myself," Patrick snapped, as if the pain was really unbearable.
