Chapter 1169
Both Jay and Quinn were left staring at Zoe, speechless.She really could not hide any secret! And John just had surgery.
If his blood pressure spiked or something...
Still, John's face fell for a moment, though he soon calmed himself at the next instant, perhaps convinced that he was hallucinating and was therefore afraid to believe it.
Everyone escorted him to his VVIP ward, where the medical staff settled John in and left after leaving some instructions.
The ward was silent with just a few of them.
Richard spoke up then.He had been sitting silent on the walkway outside the surgery room, overwrought and never chiming in even after hearing that his mommy was left at the altar.
Now that he saw that John was fine, he could not help asking, "Aunt Zoe? You just said that Mr.Stuart left my mommy at the altar.Is that true? They're not married?"
Zoe was just drafting a text to Cordy, unable to help caring about her even though they just had a little disagreement.
It would hurt being left at the altar anyway.She was just engrossed with texting Cordy and updating Cordy on John's condition, looking up when Richard called her.She had to think to realize what Richard was asking and replied, "Yeah, they're not.But things are good right now— your mommy is very strong, so don't worry.A few words of encouragement from me and she's fine now."
"Okay." Richard nodded.
He was certainly pleased inside, since this meant mommy and daddy could start over… although he was afraid to show it.
"Johnny, your heart is racing too much," Jay told John just then.
Everyone turned toward the cardiograph to see John's wild heart rate.
"We'd have to call a doctor if you keep this up," Jay teased.
After all, the doctors did tell them to inform them immediately if something cropped up.
John worked hard to calm himself right then.
Even so, he never expected Patrick would suddenly call off the wedding.He was thrilled and therefore a little out of control.
"You're that pleased?"
Zoe grinned even as she watched John's heart rate keep climbing.
John closed his eyes but did not answer.He kept taking deep breaths while telling himself not to think, or his heart might not be able to take it.
Zoe, however, remained tactless as ever and exclaimed excitedly, "Patrick suddenly had regrets at the wedding today, and left Cordy at the altar.She must be very sad right now, and she's back at the mansion.There's hope, John— she's single!"
John did not respond again, still afraid of letting his imagination run wild and kept working hard to control his feelings.
"Your heart rate betrays you.Stop pretending," Zoe teased.
John turned his back on her and snapped coldly, "Go home— every single one of you.I'm fine, and I can handle myself."
"Are you going to call Cordy when we're gone and..."
"That's enough." Jay stopped her then.
"Do you think everyone is as important as you?"
"What?"
Zoe huffed—her husband had been really rude to her these days! "Come on.We're leaving."
Jay beckoned at her nonetheless.
Zoe glanced at John, a little reluctant to leave since she wanted to discuss how he would get Cordy back.
"Take Dicky home too," John added.
"I want to stay with you, daddy," Richard quickly said.
"I'm fine—and you heard the doctor, it's just my arm," John assured him.
"I'll be fine soon enough. Go home to your mommy with Uncle Jay—keep her company."
