A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1092
Even though their bodies were covered from head to toe with the best fireproof overalls, they could still feel the searing heat and the suffocating air around them.Sean's objective was clear, so he left immediately when it was time for them to split up. On the other hand, Cordy and Patrick were supposed to look for John—they had to do it separately since Lynd Manor was huge.Patrick in turn stared at Cordy for a while, but she gave him a determined nod. She would project herself.With that, Patrick stopped hesitating—there was all kinds of danger waiting in there, and the only way to be safe was to achieve their objective quickly and get out.Cordy and Patrick each had a bodyguard escorting them as they parted ways.If her hunch was right, John would be treated harshly once he was caught in the act, and they would have held him somewhere secure.Rumor had it that there was a basement in the old building of Cranston Hall, where the members of the family would be kept and forc

John forced himself to look up then. "I told you you don't have to save me, didn't I? I don't want to drag you down with me…"His bloodshot eyes paused, as he thought for an instant that he was hallucinating.After all, people tend to think about the ones they wanted to see most when death approached.As such, he stared at Cordy for a long while, as if to confirm if it was her.It was a difficult task too, since Cordy was wearing fireproof overalls, covering her from head to toe—no one might be able to recognize her unless they were familiar with her.Cordy wondered for a second if he recognized her too, and she did not come here to do that—right now, rescuing him was more important.She turned away from John and watched worriedly as the bodyguard bludgeoned the chains as hard as he could.However, the chains were too sturdy to break easily.Minutes later, Patrick's voice rang over Cordy's walkie-talkie, and he sounded urgent. "How's it going over there? I can't find John anywh

Bright flames and thick smoke were everywhere around him when Patrick suddenly stopped in his tracks.He thought he saw Sean with two of his bodyguards and clearly holding a document.However, he was not moving—because he could not.Patrick gulped, but kept his distance… because Sean was staring at the rifle in Jean's hand, aimed squarely at them.He had taken off his helmet as well, probably because Jean forced him."So it really was you, Sean Cranston!" She laughed darkly and asked calmly, "When did you find out it was me?"Patrick's heart skipped a beat.The fire was getting everywhere, and it could kill anyone in an instant. And yet, Jean remained so calm and unaffected… In other words, she never expected to survive!The possibility was certainly there when one thought about it—Lynd Manor was basically empty when they rushed in, meaning that the rest of the family had already evacuated.There was no telling where they left, but they were gone… and yet, Jean stayed behi

Jean was definitely over agitated. However, with the fire around them burning so violently, breathable air was scarce, leaving her hacking violently after her outburst."Ma'am?" Doug asked in concern.Jean did her best to keep herself together. "I'm fine.""It has to be a misunderstanding," Sean said loudly then. "My grandfather would never hurt you or your family!""There's no misunderstanding!" Jean snapped viciously. "My husband died because of your grandfather's schemes! Why else would they leave home together only for my husband to die from the accident while Jesse stayed fine?!""Have you actually investigated the incident?" Sean asked, staying calm. "Everyone knows that the survivor in such a case would be suspected, and no one would have done it so brazenly. And you know better than anyone how careful Jesse was—even if he wanted to kill, he would not have done it so obviously!""That's what makes Jesse smart. Everyone was convinced he would not do something so stupid an

Sean could clearly see Patrick putting himself between the rifle and Sean himself.If it went off by accident, it would pierce Patrick's fireproof overalls no matter how thick it was!Sean dashed at top speed up to him right then, yelling, "Patrick!!!"He kept hacking due to the thick smoke swirling around him.On the other hand, Patrick kept Doug firmly restrained while barking, "Put your helmet on already!"The fire was so violent now that one would be maimed or even die if they inhaled too much of the smoke.Sean's eyes were red, though no one could notice with all the flames around them.Patrick could have been killed, and he was still telling Sean to put on his helmet?!Still, Sean gritted his teeth and turned back to retrieve his helmet from the ground while his pair of bodyguards ran up to help Patrick seize the rifle and subdue Doug.Meanwhile, Jean was on the ground, unable to get up.Even if she survived the fall, the inferno was blazing so violently she could not b

Cordy blinked at John, who said, "I didn't think I'd see you again. This makes it worth it… even if I die now.""No one's dying. Not until the very last moment," Cordy said bluntly."Just go," John told her nonetheless.As Cordy pursed her lips, John repeated himself resolutely, "Go.""Shut up. It'll be done soon enough," Cordy said, averting her eyes.She refused to give up until the very end.And yet, smoke was starting to spill into the basement, and John obviously noticed that.He held her gaze, looking deep into her eyes as she said, "I'm not worth it, Cordy.""This isn't about you," Cordy said coolly. "I refused to let Dicky be fatherless.""You've already taken good care of him.""That still doesn't replace his father.""But he shouldn't lose his mother too."Cordy bit her lip at that, while John continued, "Meeting you was my greatest blessing in life. That's why I feel no regrets."Cordy stayed silent and kept watching as the bodyguard hammered against John's chai

"You've done your best," John told Cordy. "I don't hate you—no, I'm thankful that you came for me in the end. Promise me that you'll live well instead of mourning me, and spend your days in happiness with Patrick. I've looked into him… He's changed over the years because of you, and he's worth entrusting the rest of your life with."Even so, Cordy's tears could not stop."Go," John urged her again—any slower and she would not make it.Cordy bit her lip, but just as she was about to turn away, her bodyguard suddenly said, "Wait."Cordy promptly turned toward him, an irrepressible sense of hopefulness igniting within her head and causing her to shudder ever so slightly.She actually thought she could not take more crushed hopes just then."I think the chains are breaking!" the bodyguard exclaimed in surprise nonetheless. "I see a crack. Should I keep trying, Ms. Sachs?""Yes." Cordy nodded without hesitation.John tried to stop them, but the smoke was now so thick he could not ev

No longer hesitating, Cordy turned and hurried out of the burning manor under her bodyguard's escort.Their surroundings were thoroughly scalding even with their fireproof overalls, and they could hardly move forward.With the fire blazing as it was, they might not make it out if they had a second's delay, especially without fire protection.But that was not something Cordy should worry about—everyone had made their own choices.It was with great difficulty that she and her bodyguard rushed out of Lynd Manor.At the same time, Cordy saw Sean rush out as well, seemingly with another person in his arms.She was uncertain because the figure was wearing fireproof overalls as well—she rushed over to them and heard Sean bellowing hoarsely, "Take him to the hospital! Now!"Cordy was actually stunned—Sean was so worried he seemed to be losing it!Her heart in turn raced when she had a good look at the person in Sean's arms. "What happened? Is that… Patrick?!""He was shot. I can't giv
