A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1123
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

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

Patrick's smile became even more apparent, and he carefully took out the ring and put it on Cordy's finger. It illuminated her perfect cheeks dazzlingly, painting her with breathtaking beauty.Patrick got off the floor, and just as he did, there was a huge gust that kicked the petals on the floor into the air before it started to rain down on them.It was certainly a romantic sight as they were completely engulfed in the petals.Cordy took it all in and was so emotional her eyes welled with tears. "Can I kiss you?" Patrick asked.Cordy smiled—he was such a doofus. She wrapped her arms around Patrick's neck and kissed him.Patrick was taken aback and clearly nervous—so much so that his whole body was shuddering.He was afraid to respond, and their lips stayed locked just like that.Sean was standing nearby as he watched them kiss and embrace each other. The breeze was picking up in strength, ruffling his hair and kicking the petals into the air.It was a beautiful sight

Zoe flinched. "But I'm scared…""Then you don't get to be suspicious.""But I can't…"Cordy smiled exasperatedly. "Then be brave and follow him. If you didn't run away, it wouldn't happen." Zoe bit her lip, feeling that Cordy was right.Cordy remembered something else just then. "Oh, by the way…" "Yeah?""Patrick proposed.""Really?" Zoe was a little excited. "He did it when you went to the capital?""Yeah.""Good job, Patrick!" Zoe exclaimed cheerfully. "So, when's the wedding?""In a few months, I'd say. I'm meeting his parents in Rocktown, and then there's the wedding photos and arranging the wedding luncheon. That'd be two or three months.""I volunteer as a bridesmaid," Zoe said eagerly, though she soon remembered. "Wait, curses… I'm already married and have a child. That disqualifies me.""I don't care about that. You and Quinn will be my bridesmaids when the time comes.""Really?""My wedding, my call.""What about Patrick?""I don't mind," Patrick quickly rep
