A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1272
Cordy decided that John was dressed in a manner too loose and tempting, and she went to stand in front of him, buttoning his shirt.John blinked, his lips curling up into a smile."Done," Cordy said, leaving just the collar button free, and looked up to see that meaningful smile on his face. Cordy naturally knew he was smiling because she was being possessive.Actually…Alright, she could admit she was possessive, and she was really a little concerned with two rivals in the house.One would never have been able to tell that of the four people in the house and three of them men, she was in the end the least threatening.It was just ever so slightly upsetting to know that.As they headed downstairs, they found Sean and Patrick sitting on the parlor couch.Sean was reading a newspaper, while Patrick was watching TV.They were not being particularly intimate, but there was an indescribable sense of harmony between them—probably like domestic bliss.Once Cordy and John arrived,

Cordy said nothing else—she could trust John that much since he raised Richard as a child and he knew the boy.However, she turned toward Sean. "Won't others feel discontent with passing the family estate to Dicky? It is a lot of money and power.""Leave that to me," Sean replied confidently.Cordy frowned—it almost felt like she was being paranoid, since between Sean and John, they could handle anything in the world."Don't worry," John assured her. "It'll all be alright when the time comes."Cordy nodded—since they could handle it between them, she had no reason to overthink this.She felt a sense of security that welled from the bottom of her heart and felt for the first time that she could rely on them without any concern.The dining table was a place of harmony until Sean's phone rang. "Hello."His expression was grim as he answered it, and the others could not help looking at him, sensing that something serious had happened.Still, Sean's reaction kept changing, and th

It had been a silly argument and refusal to give in that drove Jesse and his daughter Evelyn apart, and it was the greatest regret he had in life."I'm fine now, Cordy," he said quietly, still enfeebled having just regained consciousness.Cordy nodded quietly in his arms, tears covering her cheeks as she sobbed."Cordy." John walked up to take her out of Jesse's arms.Naturally, he was not jealous—he just knew that Cordy was embarrassed that she was crying like a baby.Cordy naturally seized the moment to lean on John's chest, hiding her face there to conceal her tears.Still, Jesse was a little worried, so John gave him an assuring look and mouthed, "She's just too happy."Jesse nodded in turn.Perhaps because he had just regained consciousness, he appeared more kindly and actually lacked his usual edge and imposing presence."How do you feel, Grandfather?" Sean asked."Just a little weak," Jesse replied. "Otherwise, I'm fine.""Should I call the rest of the family?""Not

John certainly had mixed emotions about staying, since he was really looking forward to Cordy's period to be over.And yet, he ended up the victim of yet another poorly-timed bombshell."I would like to be alone for a while," Jesse suddenly said, his voice still weary. "Not you, Sean. Stay for a moment.""Come on," John said, leading Cordy while putting a hand around her shoulder.Patrick glanced at Sean, who nodded—he more or less knew why his grandfather told him to stay.Patrick refrained from speaking in turn and followed Cordy and John out of the ward.Even the medical staff left, leaving just Jesse with Sean.Jesse started to sit up, and Sean hurried over to put a pillow vertically behind his back so that he could sit more comfortably.Nonetheless, Jesse soon asked bluntly, "What's the deal with you and Patrick Stuart?"Sean did not actually mention anything about him and Patrick while Jesse was in a coma. He knew his grandfather would not accept it and did not want to b

Sean said evenly, "It's what I thought I could do for the family.""When did you… With Patrick Stuart…" Jesse trailed off, unable to finish his sentence."It has nothing to do with him," Sean said. "I knew which way I swing ever since I was a child, but I've never said anything considering how you would feel about this. Of course, I never did find the right person until Patrick, whom I considered worth fighting for, even if it means going against the family."Jesse's visage was cold.Still, Sean continued, "I understand very well how I feel toward him, and I know the price I must pay. The only thing I can do now is to do my best not to inflict losses to the family.""So you're saying you're going through with this?" Jesse demanded."Yes," Sean said bluntly.Jesse's visage contorted hideously, but no one could accept such a thing immediately.The ward remained deathly silent, and Sean kept his head bowed.There was no telling how long had passed until Jesse said, "I'll never ac

Cordy kept Jesse company in his ward, talking to him, wiping him down, feeding him, and bringing him water.She cared for him meticulously, and Jesse was certainly emotional to see this.It reminded him of Cordy's mother, and the single greatest regret he would have in this life.He always had a soft spot for her, too—which was why he could admit that he was interested in Sean's suggestion to let Cordy's son inherit the family estate even though strictly speaking, Richard was not even on the list."Cordy," Jesse suddenly called out to her. "Did you know about Sean and Patrick?"Cordy nodded, having no reason to hide it. "I just found out.""But you and Patrick…""Let's just say it was not meant to be." Cordy sighed feebly. "And we've both now found someone better.""Someone better?!" Jesse glowered. The thought that the grandson he appreciated most turning out to be a walking timebomb certainly left him overwhelmed.Cordy could read his mind and smiled, "I think you should b

Cordy smiled. "That's the spirit, Grandpa. Also, the doctor said you can go out on a wheelchair—how about I take you on a stroll?""Sure," Jesse replied.As Cordy wheeled Jesse through the hallways of the hospital, she thought to herself that even if she had no idea why Jesse and her mother fought, she would be happy with how things were now.-Cordy cared for Jesse for over a month before he returned to Cranston Hall.During that period, the other Cranstons learned that Jesse had regained consciousness as well, and they all came to visit.Though some of them were more or less jealous that Cordy was always with Jesse, they did not protest given Jesse's authority.Meanwhile, Richard remained in the capital, just as he would be there for the foreseeable future. Cordy asked if he was really willing to stay, and Richard's response was resolute.He would love to stay with his parents, but he was also a young man who should learn to shoulder responsibilities.While Cordy had no id

After reading everything aloud, Jesse lowered the ledger and told Cordy, "Come here."Cordy hurried to him, her eyes already red with emotion.Jesse then took out an emerald bangle from a beautiful jewelry box. It was obvious that the bangle was worth a fortune and had considerable history given that the box was an antique.Taking Cordy's hand, Jesse put the bangle around Cordy's slender wrist, his voice choking with emotion as he said, "Your grandmother left this for your mother."Cordy felt her nose turning runny and her tears almost threatened to fall.Jesse smiled at her contentedly in turn. "I thought it'd stay in that box forever… Thank you for coming when you did."He certainly still had regrets but was thankfully given a second chance."Thank you, Grandfather," she said earnestly.Jesse grinned. "Just tell me if John ever gives you grief. I'll be there for you.""I'd never allow her to be hurt, sir. You have nothing to worry about," John quickly said nearby."Don't wo
