Cordy did not argue, since she understood Sean's concern.
Once John married Nana, Nana would have a million different ways to humiliate her no matter how she tried to cling on to John.
That was why she must stop the wedding.

Sean found himself genuinely impressed by Cordy's perseverance as she headed to the hospital again the next day.
She was just so cruelly rejected yesterday and clearly moody, but once the day changed, she seemed rejuvenated and motivated again.
He went with Cordy, and they were just arriving at John's ward when they saw him stepping outside.
He appeared surprised when he saw Cordy, surprised that she had returned so soon.
"Cordy—"
"Don't get so full of yourself. I'm not here for you." Cordy cut him short, turning her face away in true tsundere fashion.
John pursed his lips, while Sean appeared stunned as he stood beside Cordy.
So, today's plan was playing hard to get?!
It was certainly unorthodox, but Sean was convinced that it would not work either.
"Whatever," John said and left.
"Wait." Cordy stopped him, and he paused.
He could not walk away when Cordy called out to him, and if he could, he would have her in his arms and never let go.
"You're going to see Nana, aren't you?" she asked bluntly.
"Yes," John replied.
"No, you can't."
As John stared at her, she added imposingly, "I mean, I have business with her. You wait here."
John did a double take, while Sean's jaw dropped beside them.
