A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 114
Noel was sobbing at Simon's sigh. "How did it go, Daddy? Does she still want to press charges?""Of course she does!" Simon snapped, seething just then. "Weren't you saying that you're going to woo John Levine? It's already ages, and he's still with Cordy!" Noel appeared even more upset at that, and her eyes were welling with tears. "I wanted to do it to help our family, but Cordy is latching on to him so tightly, I can't even get close…""Oh, Simon, you shouldn't blame her," Sue chimed in, ever quick to her daughter's rescue. "You can't rush a relationship, and did you know that Noel almost passed out from crying? We should think about how we can convince Cordy to drop the charges, or it'll be a scandal for the family if the case was made against Plum and she gets sentenced to jail. Everyone will be laughing at us!"Simon naturally took that into consideration and a vein bulged over his temples in his fury. "It's all my fault. Grandma wouldn't have slapped Cordy if not for me."

Cordy continued then, saying, "I couldn't protect myself when I was a child, but that's not the case now that I'm older." She was assuring John that she could protect herself even though she had no idea why she had to.Still, she probably thought that he was genuinely worried about her, and there were just a handful of people in this world who were."Does it hurt?" John suddenly asked, studying her cheek that was still slightly swollen.How much strength had Plum put behind that slap to cause so much swelling?Cordy appeared taken aback, but she soon shook her head.It really did not hurt… because this amounted to nothing compared to the things she had experienced as a child.And while her heart used to hurt because of that, she now understood that the Sachs did not deserve her tears—not a single drop.John pursed his lips, and the air around him suddenly seemed to turn chilly.He was a frightening sight, but Cordy was not afraid because she knew why he was angry. "I want a

"It's alright, I'll stay here with you," John replied, as if it was only natural. "Sleep."As Cordy stared at him, he said, "You often came by to visit and take care of me when I was staying in the hospital before.""You were hurt because of me," Cordy pointed out."I always repay a favor a hundredfold. You don't have to be so formal with me, Ms. Sachs," John said with a determined tone.Cordy pursed her lips—she had this nagging feeling that she would hurt the little child in John if she turned him down. As such, she simply turned around, keeping her back to him and closed her eyes to sleep.And with that, John sat by her hospital bed, staring at her delicately small figure.She really was small… So, so small.And yet, she was so tough it hurt. John's Adam's apple bobbed just then.If he stopped her all those years ago, when she was fleeing without a care…Would she have been more trusting?-Cordy did not expect that she would really fall asleep.She came up with a re

"Let go of me." Cordy shifted her body again to make John move, only for him to suddenly grunt rather sensually.Cordy promptly stopped moving—even if she was inexperienced, she was more or less educated as an adult. "Just get off me," she said, making herself sound as cold as possible.John swallowed. There was a flash of emotion in his eyes, but he soon regained composure as he got off her and immediately went to the washroom.Cordy did her best to pull herself together, and John soon returned.However, as she turned toward him, she could not help glancing downward, and she was suddenly blushing.She did not want to look. But she seemed unable to help it! She quickly lowered her eyes to the floor—it already took her considerable effort to calm down, but even her ears were now red!John, however, was smiling. "I certainly wouldn't want it to happen, but there are times when it's just… out of my control. I hope I didn't give you too bad an experience, Ms. Sachs."Cord

Winston was certainly a sly old fox, bringing in dinner and immediately leaving after, using the excuse that Richard was waiting for him at home!He had to leave Randy with the task of disturbing John with Cordy!"Winston sent dinner. I was worried that it would get cold," Randy gingerly explained.When John nodded, Randy quickly put the dinner on the overtable and turned to leave right after.Cordy, however, stopped Randy. "Let's eat together, Randy. There's too much for John and I."Randy certainly was afraid to say yes, and he turned towards his boss. "Don't waste it," Cordy added. John reluctantly nodded then.Randy, who was already hungry, could not help being grateful that Cordy was as kind as she was beautiful. -After dinner, Cordy insisted that John head home, with the excuse of being worried that Richard was alone.He reluctantly left under her insistence, and she breathed a sigh of relief after he was gone.She was certainly uneasy with him around.Lying down

In the end, Cordy braced herself and alighted—her dress was not formal, but it was not that casual either.Still, she did look a little underdressed beside John.On the other hand, he did not seem to care about what she was wearing, and he simply led her inside the skyscraper. The restaurant was on the twentieth floor, and it was only natural John would pick a spot frequented by the rich and powerful of North City. After Cordy followed him into the grandly designed glass elevator, he suddenly took off his dinner jacket and his bow tie, unfastening his top two buttons.His forbidding presence suddenly turned to a simpler elegance, he suddenly held out his dinner jacket and bow tie at her, saying, "Hold these for me."Cordy did so, and watched as John slowly rolled up his sleeves, baring his firm, muscular hands.He looked considerably casual in an instant, just as Cordy quickly realized what he was doing.He wanted to match her outfit and she seemed to feel a little guilty abo

"Hello, Ms. Sachs. Your reputation precedes you, though you're even more beautiful than when you appeared at the press conference." Sam praised her earnestly. "You flatter me." Cordy smiled. "You're quite handsome too."Sam smiled smugly and shot John a provoking look, but John ignored it.Pulling out a chair for Cordy, John said, "I knew them since I was a boy since our families were close. That said, I spent more time abroad and rarely came back. This is the first time I'm celebrating my birthday in North City, so they wanted to join me."In other words, he wanted to celebrate it with her alone, but they insisted on tagging alone."Anyway, just be at ease. Don't mind them," John then added quietly, clearly taking her feelings into consideration. Cordy nodded.It was his birthday, and naturally what he said went.However, she wondered if she would have a chance to say the things she was prepared to say tonight.That was when the door suddenly opened, and a familiar female v

"Sam, why don't I see Quinn anywhere?" Zoe asked Sam just then.Bob spoke beside Sam before Sam could. "Have you ever seen her around a dinner where he's present?""Then why would he marry Quinn?" Zoe huffed.Bob shrugged since he had no idea either. "Ask the man himself."Sam grinned nonchalantly. "It's a political marriage, get it?""All men are pigs." Zoe snorted in disdain. Even though she was friends with these men because of her cousin, she was firmly on Quinn Summer's side when it came to Quinn's marriage with Sam. "Now, now, that's not quite right," Bob corrected Zoe with righteous indignation. "We three are not like him. Johnny may have a son, but he's always been keeping his hands clean instead of messing around. Jay doesn't even have a girlfriend—the man could not be more innocent. As for me, it may look like the ladies flock around me constantly… I've actually always refrained from debauchery too.""Tch!" Zoe clicked her tongue with contempt. "You're really gett
