Chapter 724


    Chapter 724


    At this point, Cordy had to me it on a grudge from a past life


    However, Nana’s seemingly innocent gaze was still fixed on Cordy. “But it feels to me that he cares a


    lot about you-he was so worried when he saw your blood being drained into the IV bottle. He only


    snapped at you because he thinks you’re refusing to take care of yourself, and it’s out of concern…


    What should I do? I think I’m getting jealous.”


    “You’re kidding,’ Cordy said naturally. ’Lucas is just overreacting like anyone would during a crisis. I


    would call for the medical staff if I were in the same situation as well, and as for his temper… don’t you


    think that he really doesn’t like me at all, and he’s always finding an excuse to vent at me?”


    “But Lucas isn’t like that. He wouldn’t do that to the others.”


    “That’s what I’ve been saying. We rub each other the wrong way,” Cordy said in disdain—she was still


    feeling frustrated and stressed even as she recalled how Lucas flipped out at her.


    “Don’t tell me… you’ve fallen for him?” Nana suddenly asked very nervously.


    “Nope,” Cordy answered confidently.


    “I’m so scared that you will,” Nana murmured miserably. ‘I really love him, and I’m so afraid of losing


    him—”


    “I don’t like him,’ Cordy snapped, cutting her short.


    Nana, however, stubbornly continued, “But you’re so beautiful. My grandmother told me so much about


    you, that you’re talented and extraordinary… I’m so scared that Lucas would fall for you…’


    “No, he wouldn’t.”


    “But the way he treats you is special…’


    “Especially bad.”


    “Cordy, can you promise me not to take Lucas from me?” Nana asked dolefully, her eyes welling with


    tears.


    Cordy pursed her lips-she had made herself very clear.


    As if realizing she was too insecure for her own good, Nana exined, “I inadvertently saw a photo you


    took with John Levine, and he looked so much like Lucas. I’m worried you’d think that Lucas is him-“


    “No, I won’t. No one can rece John.’ Cordy breathed slowly and clearly.


    “I’m relieved to hearthat,” Nana said apologetically, deliberately sighing in relief. “I’m sorry, Cordy, I


    didn’t want to suspect you, but I love Lucas so much… I won’t be able to live without him.’


    “You don’t have to tell me anything about your rtionship,” Cordy replied, returning her gaze. “If you’re


    really worried that there’s something between me and Lucas, you should take him with you and leave


    North City.”


    “But he has a lot of work to do here,’ Nana said awkwardly. “Can I ask you again not to talk to him even


    if you see him?”


    Cordy’s expression finally changed-Nana was reaching the point where she was meddling with Cordy’s


    personal freedom.


    “I know how you feel towards Lucas and I can try to understand your insecurities, but I can’t say yes.


    Humans are social creatures and interpersonal rtionships areplicated, so even if you ask that of


    me now, I would fail in the case where Lucas and I build a business rtionship.” i


    “Moreover, a rtionship is maintained between two people, not by the actions of a third person. You


    should be tolerating, understanding, and trusting each other more instead of believing that someone


    could ruin it for you easily. Suspicion would only cause a rift between you and hurt your rtionship.” 1


    Nana remained tearful nheless. “I know what you’re saying and that I shouldn’t ask this of you…


    but you really intimidate me, and I’m so afraid because Lucas has never behaved like that around


    anyone. So I’m begging you, please-stay away from Lucas?’Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
