Chapter 435

The sudden change in subject left Cordy taken aback.

"What, you don't want to leave?" Patrick teased her.

"I mean, I would like to, but I'd rather not trouble you," Cordy said bluntly. "I can't even get out of bed right now."

"I'm just kidding," Patrick said. "I won't be able to take you with me even if I came, not to mention that I have no idea where you are. I'm sure John would do all he can to hide you from me, but that's the point-he's keeping you very well hidden, so be at ease and take your time to rest for a while at his place."

"Ask the man to buy you a phone, okay? Just stick to your old number so that we can keep in touch," Patrick did not forget to tell her.

"I know."

Once she hung up, she called out at the direction of the door, "John!"

John opened the door and entered, having been waiting for her all this while.

Still, he did not eavesdrop on her conversation with Patrick.
