A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 421
John wrapped his arms tightly around Cordy and carried her out of the car, but she was clenching her teeth while her whole body shook in pain.There was something keeping her foot in place, and it hurt whenever John tried to pull her out.He actually was afraid of using his full strength too, in fear that she had suffered some internal damage and that too much pressure would make it worse."Are you stuck?" he asked her very softly.They were huddled together, so Cordy could hear his heavy breathing as well as his racing heart.There was no hiding his worry."My right leg…" she murmured.John dropped to a crouch again to check and saw that it was stuck underneath the front seat where the unconscious chauffeur remained.He quickly smacked the man in the face—a far cry from how he was treating Cordy."Wake up," he snapped at the same time.The chauffeur had been out unconscious, but the external stimulus jolted him painfully awake.The instant he came to, he quickly called out,

As Cordy calmed down, she tried to move her leg and managed to do it so slightly.Then, she clenched his teeth, and the car groaned as John abruptly released the driver's seat, allowing it to fall heavily.At the same time, the chauffeur was panting.Cordy's heart was still racing—if she had been any slower, her leg would have been crushed beneath the seat again.She did not even want to imagine what would happen once the weight of the chair and the chauffeur slam down on her foot! However, the instant she heaved a sigh of relief, she saw that John's hands were caught beneath the driver's seat.It was too dark to see his face, but Cordy's heart was racing as she cried out in shock, "John!"She had no idea if he did not have the strength to get his hands out in time, or if John wanted to use his hands as a buffer for her leg in case she had not gotten her legs out.All she knew was that her vision was blurring, and she could not even see in front of her.Nonetheless, John with

Cordy bellowed furiously, "Let me go!""Now's not the time to get stubborn—argh!" John suddenly cried out in pain, as Cordy had bitten down on his neck so strongly he flinched.He did not release her, but she started to flail around violently in his arms.The slope was already hard to stand on, and as she relentlessly thrashed about, both of them ended up falling, though John quickly cushioned her fall and spared her from getting hurt.Regaining her freedom, she started to run toward the car wreck—it was all the more reason for them to save Patrick the more dire the situation was or he would be dead!Cordy ran quickly, even though her right leg was seriously hurt and she had just regained some of her feeling.Even if the pain seemed to cut her into the heart, she did not stop at all."Cordy!" John dashed forward and caught her, holding her firmly in place and stopping her from reaching the wreckage. Smack!She suddenly wheeled on him and slapped him across the face! Covered

Not many words were needed between both strong men.John swiftly climbed into the car and pressed the seat belt button to unfasten it as hard as he could, freeing Patrick.Then, without delay, he promptly pushed against the car door, which had pinned Patrick firmly in place.However, the car frame was dented so much that Patrick's body was virtually embedded into the door, and he would have been minced if the airbags did not shield his body."How is it?" Cordy was suddenly outside, asking John anxiously. "Can you get him out?!""Why did you come back?!" John bellowed, glowering.But he never stopped shoving against the door. He could not open it in case there was something sharp that had pierced Patrick's body. If he removed it, it might leave Patrick bleeding to death."I'll help," Cordy cried urgently then."No! Get out of here!" John snarled viciously at her."John!" she cried. "No, you really should go," Patrick urged her too. "I'm worried the man won't help if you don

Cordy stood and stared blankly at the burning wreckage. They were not getting out.Why were they not getting out?!-In the wreckage, Patrick was astonished to find John returning a second time.They could all get killed in an instant, but he came back anyway.They were not that close enough to be that selfless—in short, John was doing this for Cordy.John really loved that woman—more than Patrick would give him credit for.Meanwhile, the fire was growing, and the scalding heat could already be felt within the car. "Don't you fear death?" Patrick could not resist asking John just then.John did not answer.Patrick nodded knowingly in turn. "I guess it makes sense, since she would remember you forever if you died for her sake.""I don't need her to remember—I just don't want her to be sad," John snapped coolly even as he panted. "There's no time to check if there's anything lodged in your body. I have to open the door right now or we would all be dead.""Okay." Patrick no

The inferno raged in the night, and Cordy's whole body was shaking.No… he was not dead! Not like that!She rose to her feet but fell just as she did, her feet too weak to carry her.She only wanted to go to John…As such, she crawled over to the wreckage even as she felt as if she was crumbling with despair inside, her heart aching so much she was unable to breathe…That was when she seemed to see silhouettes suddenly appearing amid the flames, dashing wildly in her direction. They were all on fire and looked like they were going to be burned, but they were also unquestionably alive.John was still alive! Still, after running and getting some distance between them and the burning wreckage, they dropped to the ground and started rolling around, intent on putting out the flames.Cordy did not hesitate to throw herself on John, using her own body to put out every flame over his body.Eventually, they all managed to put out the fires, and only the wreckage was burning. Still

But even as Cordy kept shoving John off, she said, "Don't worry, that doesn't apply to me."John kept holding on tightly to her, so she made herself very clear. "You just might be able to do it, though."John paused then, as something seemed to hit him right then.He eased his hold on Cordy and stared at her for a while."It's exactly what you think," she told him and slithered out of his arms, swiftly walking up to Patrick.The man was writhing in utter agony, though she almost saw him bleeding out of every orifice.Cordy thought she was imagining it since it had not been that long, but as she put her hand on Patrick's nostrils, she felt the vicious sensation of blood.And from up close, she saw his eyes staring blankly into thin air while he bled out from his ears too…How heavily did the Stuarts drug him? Were they trying to kill him?!However, it made sense that the Stuarts had a backup measure in case they failed to kill them in the car crash. If they could at least made

The elevation of the slope made it difficult to traverse and even more so for John, who had to carry Cordy.However, she was really spent and could not even open her eyes as she leaned in his arms.She vaguely heard cars screeching to a stop and the whirring rotors of a helicopter…Patrick's people had probably arrived.What perfect timing—not a moment too soon and not a moment too late.With that, Cordy finally dozed off. -When she woke up again, she found herself in a place she did not recognize.It was not the hospital, her apartment in North City, or John's apartment.She blinked, her eyelids still feeling very heavy just like her head.She felt like she had slept for a long while to the point that she could not wake up."You're awake." John's deep voice spoke beside her just then, quietly and tenderly.Cordy turned toward that familiar face of his and saw that his fair, handsome cheeks were covered in cuts and bruises of every size. Blinking, she asked, "Where am I
