A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 463
Jay's throat felt dry, and he clenched his trembling fists.He saw the hopelessness reflected in Zoe's eyes, the hopelessness she felt toward him.He felt as if thousands of swords were piercing right through his heart at that moment, making him unable to say a word."If I could find someone else to help me, I wouldn't even consider troubling you," Zoe said softly. "But right now, you're the only one who can make Bob believe that I don't love him. I find it miserable indeed, to have only loved two men in all the twenty-five years I've lived. How good it would be if I had another option to go to."Jay tried so hard to compose himself that his whole body shook.He said through gritted teeth, "I'll help you."Zoe looked at him, unmoved.What was there for her to be moved by?He simply had no choice after hearing what she said."Thank you," she whispered brokenly.She still had to thank him.Thank him for agreeing to it, despite being put in a difficult spot.At night, before 8

Or did he enter the wrong apartment?That could not be.Zoe could not possibly…But that man was Jay. He knew what Zoe used to feel for Jay and the sorrow she felt from unrequited love.She liked Jay for so many years, so, so many years…He was nothing compared to Jay!His vision blurred, but he did not leave. He did not question them loudly, nor did he even interrupt them.He simply looked on as Zoe took the initiative to kiss Jay, and he just stood there, feeling his heart break into many tiny pieces.From the corner of her eye, Zoe saw Bob standing still at the door.She could imagine how broken he felt at that moment, and she desperately wished that he would push them apart and slap her, but he did not do a single thing.He simply stood there in his pain.Zoe's eyelids trembled. She shut her eyes as tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes, and she then deepened her kiss on Jay's lips.The kiss that felt like a mere peck became hotter and more fervent, and Jay's heartbea

"But I can't lie to myself and to you," Zoe said firmly."Lie to yourself and me…" Bob laughed out loud.It was a laughter tinged with self-derision."So, all along, you've been lying to yourself and me by being with me? All the smiles on your face were feigned? Did you lie to me each time you said you loved me?" Bob asked.Tears fell with each question he posed, and his heart ached so badly.The pain felt worse compared to when he witnessed Zoe leaning close to Jay.It turned out that the pain of losing something after having it was enough to break a person."I'm sorry." Zoe did not answer him.Bob laughed.He laughed so hard that he could not stop his tears from flowing.He had thought that the heavens finally showed pity on him.He even felt thankful that the incident happened to Zoe such that he had a chance to be with her.He was too wicked indeed, and that was probably why the heavens could no longer tolerate them being together."Has Jay agreed to be with you?" Bob

Zoe didn't know how much time had passed. When she looked up at the living room clock, she found it was already past noon.It was already the next day.She turned to look at Jay, watching as he sat beside her without a word. He was simply there.The bruise on his face from the two punches Bob had thrown at him had become darker and had started to swell. It looked hideous."Do you want to go to the hospital?" Zoe asked.Jay froze momentarily. It took him a while to understand that Zoe was referring to the wound on his face. "No need. It'll go away in a few days.""Thank you," Zoe then said.She was expressing her gratitude again.Jay pursed his lips and was about to speak when Zoe continued quietly, "I don't know what I can do to repay you.""There's no need for that.""But your friendship with Bob has been affected because of me.""That's fine."Everything that happened had been due to anger.Jay's friendship with Bob wasn't that fragile."That's true," Zoe muttered t

The next day, Zoe stirred from her sleep slowly. She turned around groggily and rolled over to find no one beside her.Opening her eyes, she felt the spot beside her to find it cold.Smiling bitterly, Zoe thought about how she had already anticipated this happening. She forced herself to get up, and the covers slipped off her body. Looking down at herself, she saw that her skin was littered with bruises and marks.Without these, she would have thought that everything last night had been a dream. She would have thought that Jay, who had acted entirely differently last night compared to usual, had been a figment of her imagination.She lifted the covers to pick up the discarded clothes around the place and placed them neatly to one side before heading straight for the shower.Her whole body was sore. Zoe thought feeling sore after such activity was just an exaggeration of fiction and movies. After she showered, she dried her hair and changed into a pair of clean pajamas. When she

Yet now, Jay was being deliberately slow?!Also, where was this place?Jay's assistant knew that Jay's new house was not in this area!His assistant didn't dare ask more questions and hurriedly followed Jay as he got into the car. Then, he gave Jay a report on the filming tasks during their journey, as well as the scenes scheduled to be shot for today."You don't have to follow me to the set today. When we get out of town in a bit, you can get off," Jay said suddenly, cutting his assistant off midspeech. "Just give me the schedule."His assistant looked at him in a daze.Was he... getting fired?!Jay pulled out a piece of string. "Pick out a ring in this size. Send me pictures of the ring styles there when you get to the mall."His assistant's eyes widened.Wait... What?!"Also, get me a bouquet of nine hundred and ninety-nine roses. Make sure they're the freshest ones."Was Jay preparing for a marriage proposal?!Wasn't this too soon?!It wasn't like Jay had a girlfriend,

It was midnight, and there were still no signs of Jay. Zoe didn't bother waiting for him any longer.In fact, his non-appearance spoke for itself.Despite that, she still sent a message to him to ask, [Are you coming back?]There was no reply to it.The following morning, Zoe called Clara. After moving into the house Bob had given them, Clara no longer resided there but went on to work. Perhaps she knew that Zoe didn't like seeing her and left.The two had not kept in touch after she left either.Zoe hadn't wanted to get too involved with Clara, and Clara was probably too embarrassed to meet her.This was the first time Zoe had initiated a phone call to Clara. She could hear the tremble in Clara's voice as she answered, "...Zoe?"The uncertainty in Clara's voice was as clear as day."Yeah. I'm just letting you know that I'm leaving North City," Zoe said calmly.Zoe didn't know exactly why she was letting Clara know about her decision. Maybe because she was the only family Zoe

In the middle of the quiet meal, John's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller, and his expression twisted slightly."It's Grandpa."Cordy's eyes twitched slightly, but she continued looking down and eating her breakfast. John would take it outside and away from her hearing range if it were a private call.After all, that's what happened every time Jessica called."What is it?"After a moment, a hint of panic flashed across John's face. Cordy wondered what had happened that could cause John's mood to change so drastically. She could see his hand holding the phone had also started to shake.His eyes also seemed to have reddened."Okay. I got it."John put his phone down and sat silently for a long time, his eyes staring at nothing in particular."What happened?" Cordy finally asked.What had overwhelmed John to this state?"Jay, he... there's been an accident," John said, clearly trying his best to control the emotions in his voice.Cordy felt her heart get stuck in
