A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1133
John was calm, a stark contrast to Zoe's agitation. "I am both Lucas Lynch and John Levine."Zoe took a long while to reflect on those worse until she finally understood. She sprang up from Jay's lap in excitement, clapping her hands as she cried, "I knew you were you, but Cordy doubted me! I mean, after living with you for years, I'd recognize you even if all that's left of you were bones!"John was speechless—Zoe never learned how to hold her tongue even after years."By the way, what's it with you? Why did you fake your death? What are you doing here at the hospital? And what's with that emergency surgery? Was it something serious?" Zoe rambled on, asking a ton of questions.Still, John answered every question she had, and Zoe felt patience from him for the very first time.It was as if his temperament had changed after his 'death'…After he was done, Zoe muttered to herself and recounted everything. "So, you're saying that you survived the explosion after Jessica Stuart ble

Zoe was really capable of making someone fall apart in an instant.And right then, she said smugly, "You now have to address me as Aunt Zoe."John took a deep breath, clearly a little annoyed.Even Jay had to be impressed with Zoe—rarely was anyone capable of leaving John bristling with just a few words. Nonetheless, Zoe remained serious, "You should seize your chance—you still have a few months, so don't blame your Aunt Zoe for not warning you now. Just give me a head's up when you've made up your mind, and I'll help."John rolled his eyes and ignored Zoe, whereas Jay hid a smile nearby.He should have brought her to meet John if he knew she would liven things up like this.It was certainly awkward when silence ensued between two grown men, especially since said silence could stay an entire day.But with Zoe around, awkwardness and whatnot was nonexistent. As such, Jay often brought Zoe with him to the hospital ever since the first visit.She certainly was not as cold as s

John's return to Levine Manor left the servants gaping at him.Some were actually spooked, since they were told that he was dead!As such, Nancy hurried out of her room upstairs and was left staring blankly for a long while when she saw John, thinking for a second that she had seen a ghost.She eventually yelped loudly, and Cora hurried out of her room as well before getting flabbergasted to see John in the living room."Y-You're not dead, John?" she asked gingerly. "Nope," John said nonchalantly. "I survived by chance."Nancy hurried out down the stairs, still in shock but mustering her courage to throw her arms around John. "Johnny, you're alive… You're really alive…"John's heart raced a little.Having grown up at Levine Manor, he knew Nancy's character best—others aside, she was genuinely kind to him.He returned her hug. "I'm home now, Aunt Nancy.""Don't you know how hard it's been over the years…" Nancy sobbed hysterically in her arms. "You could've come back sooner…

Cora certainly wanted to argue. "But, I…"John, however, remained stern and solemn. "You have much to complain about, and you feel that Zoe has stolen your rights and identity—but in reality, Zoe was the one who was hurt the most when the truth came out, and the reason is simple: rags to riches is easy, but the converse is hard."You need to understand—I'm not telling you that you're not the victim, but Zoe was never the culprit. She was sent back to where she belonged after being thrown out of this house so mercilessly, and neither of you have any excuse to vent your grievances on her."The atmosphere in the living room was stiffened.Still, Nancy was indignant to see that her daughter was left flushing by John's words, and she growled through gritted teeth, "Weren't you on my side when we first found out that Zoe wasn't my daughter? You're now completely on her side just because she's with Jay now—""It was a selfish act on my part," John said, holding her gaze without flinching

Richard called out to him in surprise. "Daddy?!"On the other hand, Cordy turned away in a split second.John did the same. "Yeah.""When did you come back?" Richard asked excitedly.John headed downstairs and walked up to them "Just did.""Where have you been? Why didn't you contact me? Your replies were half-hearted, too," Richard huffed, clearly upset. "I thought you'd gone missing again.""I had something to do.""Your face is back now," Richard pointed out in surprise just then.He was busy complaining about John being distant to him and only noticed just then that John's face was much better.There were no burn marks to be seen, and most importantly, John's original appearance was restored, and he no longer looked like Lucas Lynch."Yeah," John replied again, and glanced at Cordy.Her eyes were glued to her phone and she was not looking at him again. He actually had the feeling that she did not get a good look at him when they traded glances for a second."Are you lea

John nodded. "I know. Zoe told me."Cordy said nothing else at that, and everyone else stayed silent.She left Levine Manor after lunch but told Richard to stay since she could tell that he really wanted to stay with John.But even as she stepped outside, a familiar voice called out to her from behind. "Cordy."Cordy's heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips and turned to find John standing there."Your phone," he said, holding it out to her.It turned out that she had left it on the couch."Thank you," she said as she took it, surprised that she would have left it in Levine Manor—she would never usually forget things.Even so, she had to admit that her emotions were affected when she saw John's face restored to how it was, no matter how hard she tried to ignore it."When's the wedding?" John asked."We haven't decided," Cordy said. "It'll be in a few months."John smiled faintly in turn. "Congratulations.""Thank you.""Do you need a ride?" John asked. "It's easy to

Richard watched as Cordy left, looking a little disappointed."I'm sorry, Daddy," he said guiltily. "I…""It's alright," John replied and patted Richard's head.John did not realize it, but Richard really grew up as if in an instant."I thought it's still possible for you and Mommy. I didn't think she'd be so angry," Richard explained."I know." John nodded.It's not all Richard's fault either, since John could have left if he insisted.In the end, it was John who wanted to see her—even for seconds.He had his own expectations, after all."It's late. You're still growing, so go to bed soon. I'll be going now.""Yeah." Richard nodded."Do you want to come over tomorrow?""I'm going to school tomorrow, and I'm used to staying here. But I'll visit if I'm free on weekends.""Anyway, just call me if you miss me.""Okay."John left. Richard thought about it, but he ultimately got up and headed to Cordy's room.He knocked politely, and Cordy opened the door. "Mommy," Richard

The wedding would be in two months.Zoe had a feeling she could not quite describe as she browsed the photos Cordy sent, especially since John was discussing rebuilding Levine Ventures with Jay in the house.She mused if she should show John the photos and actually make him give up.Judging from the current state of things, John really showed no intention of getting Cordy back. In fact, he had put on his workaholic form again and completely focused on work.She walked over and asked, "Want another coffee?"John nodded and gently pushed his cup to the side, letting her refill it without glancing her way.Zoe was speechless—she was supposed to be his elder, his aunt, and he did not even thank her.However, she seemed used to it and refilled both John and Jay's cups.Still, she had to admit that men were so good looking when they were working seriously. They were both seated at the table in front of the glass wall, and it was honestly a feast for the eyes as the sun illuminated
