A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1121
Cordy coolly replied, "There are some things to attend to."She was wondering just then if she should ask Sean to send Richard home, worried that her son would be uncomfortable being alone at the capital.Still, she soon remembered that she would be going back once she settled matters in North City anyway. She was relieved, since she did not want Richard to keep running back and forth."Should I get Dicky—""No." Cordy cut John short before he could finish.John pursed his lips in turn—he could actually feel how distant she was toward him.Still, he stayed silent and reclined against his huge, comfortable seat with his back toward her, staying away from her and pretending to sleep.Cordy ignored him and calmly read her magazine.The flight was a quiet one, and John kept sleeping without moving an inch or responding when the flight attendant arrived to ask for their orders.Cordy thought he really was sound asleep then, if it was not for the airplane suddenly lurching.Cries o

John never told Cordy and kept holding on to her hand in silence.He gulped, his heart pounding erratically as he wished the flight would last so much longer.It was after a long while when the plane finally started its descent, and the woman nearby started to bawl in an instant, though it was tears of joy this time. "I'm never boarding a plane anymore! Hngh…"Cordy breathed a quiet sigh of relief in turn.She was not as hysterical as the other woman, but everyone feared death regardless.She had to inhale deeply several times to only calm herself slightly, and that was when she noticed that she had been squeezing John's hand.Her heart skipped a beat, and she relaxed her fingers to release him, only to realize that John had been holding firmly to her hand, too.Nonetheless, John sharply noticed her movement and quickly released her.The air between them turned awkward, but luckily, the plane had touched down and stopped soon enough, and everyone could get off.Cordy did so

Cordy said nothing, since Jay would understand everything once he met John.She started to leave, while Jay asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to wait, Cordy?"Cordy frowned, so he quickly said, "It's just waiting to see if it's Johnny. I know there's a huge chance that it's a con, but—""No," Cordy said flatly and left without so much as a look behind.Jay found Cordy's reaction peculiar somehow. Was she really doubtful, or…Nonetheless, his heart was racing. He had been restless ever since John called him, and he was actually afraid to tell Zoe in fear that she would get more agitated than him.Hence, he stayed in his wheelchair and watched as the crowd moved around, never catching a glimpse of John.However, just as he was going to presume that he had been tricked, he suddenly glimpsed a familiar figure.It was just one glimpse, and his very blood was excited.Was that really John? That presence was remarkably familiar, even with that face mask and cap…However, Jay re

Jay decided against saying anything since John already knew—the man always knew what he was doing.He took John to a seven-star hotel, joining him in the presidential suite instead of leaving immediately.His face fell the instant John took off his cap and mask in front of him, stunned that he was disfigured to such an extent and almost overwhelmed.John, however, remained calm. "Did I scare you?""No," Jay promptly said. "What happened?""Just some unsavory encounter," John said flatly. "But I've spoken to a doctor, and there's a good chance of recovery.""Yeah," Jay replied, unsure what to say just then and only felt pain inside.He even wondered if John wanted to hide from Cordy because of that unsightly face.Still, John asked, "I think I'm fine alone, but I'd like you to stay with me while I'm in surgery, since I'd be sedated or might encounter a medical decision that could trouble the doctors. Are you busy lately?""No. I can go with you." Jay agreed without hesitation.

Zoe kept staring fixedly even as Jay stepped out of the shower, convinced that something was weird with him.Jay felt the creeps from her stare, but there was no question that he was bad at lying, and it would have been better if he had stayed quiet. To stop Zoe interrogating him,he quickly said, "I ran into Cordy yesterday. She just returned to town.""What?!" Zoe exclaimed in surprise, distracted in an instant."Didn't she contact you?" Jay exclaimed in surprise.At the same time, he prayed that Cordy would not skin him for this since he had no other choice."That woman!" Zoe was fuming in turn. Cordy rarely returned, but she never said a word or contacted Zoe!Was she not Cordy's best friend?!Huffing, she whipped out her phone and called Cordy, while Jay heaved a deep sigh of relief from the close shave.-"I just heard from Jay that you came back?" Zoe asked the instant Cordy answered.Cordy happened to be in her own office, working overtime. She had stayed at the capi

Quinn asked, "Are you sure you're not being paranoid?""Do I look like a paranoid person?" Zoe retorted. Quint thought about it, but had to agree. If Zoe was convinced that Jay was being weird, there was definitely an issue with Jay.And yet, it was so obvious that he pampered Zoe and tiptoed around her…"Didn't Jay tell you anything?" Cordy asked casually."Tell me what?" Zoe was even more perplexed.Cordy frowned—reasonably speaking, Jay would have recognized John as soon as he saw him, and John must have decided to reunite with family now that he returned to North City.There was no reason to keep Zoe out of the loop, was there? Especially with the bond between her and John which stood for years…"What's weighing on your mind?" Zoe was staring at Cordy, perplexed and feeling that Cordy was being weird too.It almost felt like she was the weird one there…"Maybe he's preparing a surprise for you." Cordy hastily came up with an excuse.While Zoe appeared taken aback, Quinn
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1127
Cordy ended up staying in North City for over a month—there was too much for her to do to return to the capital for good, and she could only stay in touch with Patrick over the phone.He was complaining about that every day, and she had no choice but to make time and return on short trips.Patrick was more or less fully recovered and could walk slowly off the wheelchair.He was making a fuss about returning to Rocktown since Cordy was not around the capital.Not wanting to make things difficult for Patrick and make him wait for her at the capital, Cordy decided to go with him to Rocktown and meet his parents as well.After all, Patrick had always been hovering around her, and she never actually did anything for him.However, on the way to the airport, she received a call for Zoe, who was on the verge of tears. "Cordy, Jay doesn't love me anymore, does he?! It's rare for both of us to be jobless, but he's always been leaving early and coming home late recently, and he keeps sighin

She was used to having Sean receive her at the airport, but she was a little disappointed that she did not see Patrick. "Where's Patrick?" she asked in the car.Richard had returned to North City for a while now, and she did not bring him along this time. He had his classes too, and she did not want to make him skip too many classes even if prodigies like him did not care much about normal schooling knowledge."He's home, but he hasn't fully recovered. I didn't let him come along since it would be taxing, especially since he has to travel early tomorrow," Sean explained."You've really taken good care of him for me, haven't you?" Cordy joked.Sean was suddenly nervous as he explained, "W-Well, that's because he's your boyfriend, y'know?"Cordy did a double take. She was just making an offhand joke, so why was Sean suddenly so nervous as if she had read his mind?However, Sean soon recovered despite Cordy's stare. "And he saved my life, didn't he?""I guess." Cordy smiled poi
