Chapter 424
Not many words were needed between both strong men.
John swiftly climbed into the car and pressed the seat belt button to unfasten it as hard as he could,
freeing Patrick.
Then, without delay, he promptly pushed against the car door, which had pinned Patrick firmly in place.
However, the car frame was dented so much that Patrick's body was virtually embedded into the door,
and he would have been minced if the airbags did not shield his body.
"How is it?" Cordy was suddenly outside, asking John anxiously. "Can you get him out?!"
"Why did you come back?!" John bellowed, glowering.
But he never stopped shoving against the door.
He could not open it in case there was something sharp that had pierced Patrick's body. If he removed
it, it might leave Patrick bleeding to death.
"I'll help," Cordy cried urgently then.

"John!" she cried.
"No, you really should go," Patrick urged her too. "I'm worried the man won't help if you don't."
Cordy gritted her teeth, but she quietly retreated without going too far.
She had this nagging worry that the car would suddenly catch fire.
She flinched from the thought, the sudden fear almost leaving her suffering a mental breakdown.
No.
That was not going to happen.
She stared fixedly at the spark beneath the car, which threatened to ignite.
No! She had to stop it!
Cordy did not even pause to think and took off her shoes, intent on snuffing out the spark...
Poof.
At that same instant, the spark ignited, and a fire broke out instantly!
The flames were blinding, while John, Patrick, and even the chauffeur could feel the searing heat!
In the next instant, they saw the fire igniting around the car!
"Cordy!"
John was gradually prying the car door off Patrick, moving it very slowly since he was afraid of using
brute strength.
"I'll try to put out the fire!" Cordy cried out urgently.
"It won't work! Just go!"
"No! I can do it!" she insisted stubbornly-what would happen to the people in the car if she actually
left?!
"Just go!" John yelled. "I won't save him if you don't!"
"Fine, I'll go! Just hurry!" Cordy agreed to it immediately, but she was lying to John, still having every
intention to put out the flames.
Once the fire started, everyone was going to die.

He promptly dashed toward her, dragging her off and stopping her from putting out the fire.
"Let go! We can save him... John!"
She did not want to give up and to see a person being burned alive right in front of her.
John did not seem to hear her at all, however, and he kept dragging her until she was at a safe
distance.
Then, looking into her tearful eyes over her battered cheeks, he told her, "I'll get him out. Just wait for
me!"
And with those words, Cordy watched as he turned and rushed back to the burning wreckage.
As she watched his determined silhouette against the fiery light, she seemed to see the same
silhouette that was rushing toward her so determinedly during the night of her wedding with Kyle.
It was John...
It had always been him.
But this time, he was going in the opposite direction and into the fire.
She raised her hand stiffly into the air, but only reached the hem of his sleeve.
She wanted to tell him to stop, but those words never came
