"I've already sent my people in to save Cordy."
Patrick turned towards Sean, noticing the repressed panic in the latter’s voice.
"You're just going to kill yourself if you went in," Sean added firmly.
Patrick clenched his teeth, but there was no doubt that he was always messing up when Sean was around.
That, and Sean would definitely care about Cordy since they were cousins who were more akin siblings.
But while Sean was always calm and composed in the face of trouble, Patrick only ever seemed to cause trouble.
"Calm down," Sean assured him. "Cordy is going to be safe."
Patrick glanced at Sean, feeling a tinge of comfort for some reason—as if he knew Sean would come good on his word and save Cordy.
He had no idea when, but he seemed to have gained a sense of trust towards Sean even though he couldn’t stand the man.
After all, Sean was too cunning and kept everything close to his chest; as such, one shouldn’t get too close to him.
Nonetheless, they both waited anxiously outside for the rescue team to get Cordy out.
The Lynds were there too, maintaining order and doing a headcount, all the while apologizing and promising reparations.
They certainly looked like they were eager about rescue and damage control.
Meanwhile, Patrick waited for what seemed like a century.
He was about to give in and rush into the banquet hall again when several men dashed out of the fire, two of whom were carrying people.
Patrick was surprised to find that John had been with Cordy.
He wasn’t sure how to feel about that, though Cordy being alive was already the best case scenario for him.
All he wanted was for her to stay alive!
