Right before she shut her eyes, she looked weakly at John.
A smile of victory crept up her lips.
Everyone accompanied Nana back to her ward.
After a while, when Nana had fallen into deep sleep, the Lynds prepared to make a move.
"Come with me, Lucas," Jean said, her face dark with displeasure.
The kind and tender look she gave Nana earlier had completely vanished. The entire atmosphere dipped, making one tremble in suspense.
John followed Jean out of the ward and they stood along the corridor.
The other members of the Lynd family stood nearby and looked on at both of them.
Jean cut to the chase. "Lucas, my patience has reached its limit. If it weren't for Nana, do you think you'd have survived in the capital until now?"
"You've misunderstood me this time," Lucas said, firmly and unyieldingly.
"Misunderstood you? What exactly is your relationship with Cordy Sachs?!" Jean went straight to the point.
She did not want to beat around the bush any longer.
"I admit that I had feelings for Cordy Sachs at one point."
"Lucas Lynch!" Jean seethed.
"Cordy is a charming woman. As an ordinary man, it's absolutely reasonable that I developed feelings for her," John said fearlessly as he looked straight at Jean. "But now, I am wholeheartedly determined to be with Nana. It's impossible between me and Cordy!"
"Impossible? Don't think I have no clue as to who you've been fooling around with the past two days. Lucas Lynch, Nana is willing to lose her life for you. How could you let her down like this?!" Jean became increasingly agitated as she lashed out at him.
She wished she could kill the man before her.
If it were not for fear that killing him might destroy Nana, Lucas would have died a thousand times over.
