A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 466
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

A day had passed, but there was still no coverage of Jay’s accident in the news.Curious, Cordy couldn’t resist texting John. [How’s Jay doing?]There were no replies for several minutes, until Jessica called her on Whatsapp.They never traded contact information, so Cordy hesitated before answering. "Cordy, John’s busy and couldn't reply to your text. He told me to call you," Jessica said, sounding rather tired.So Jessica went home with John and even spent the night with him?"How is Jay doing?" Cordy asked calmly, since Jay's condition mattered to her more."He's been in a coma since he left surgery," Jessica replied. "The doctors are saying that he might stay a vegetable, but there's hope. John brought in a team of experts from abroad who just went to examine Jay. He’s staying with them to discuss Jay's treatment in more detail.""Is the situation that bad?" Cordy asked worriedly."Yeah," Jessica admitted. "His heart stopped twice during surgery, but they managed to sav

So when the Levines all traveled abroad, John left Dicky in Jessica’s care? Without asking Cordy's permission, or whether Dicky wanted to stay with Jessica?Still, Cordy clenched her teeth and accepted reality. She was reluctant to bother John given present circumstances. His texts over the next few days were scarce since there was nothing to say, what with Jay not recovering anytime soon.However, Jessica was still constantly sharing updates of her time with Dicky even though it was definitely a mess, be it eating or bathing Dicky, leaving his little face covered in bubbles.She also brought Dicky outdoors to hiking and amusement parks, where they would play with all sorts of exciting rides.Cordy stayed silent, watching as Jessica expressed her motherly nature.That was, until she sent a photo of Dicky hurting his leg.In the photo, the boy was keeping his head lowered and staring at his leg, covered in white bandages, his expression impassive.Jessica's caption was: [I'm so

"Just calm down for now," John said, trying to assure Cordy. "Jessica won't do anything to Dicky.""You trust her so much, huh?!" Cordy shot back, angry."Not at the moment, no," John said, his every word determined. "She let Dicky get hurt!""Children get themselves hurt all the time. It's normal."Cordy's fingers clenched on his phone, her rage hardly repressible."Don't go anywhere without me around," John said calmly. "Jessica won’t hurt Dicky, but she will hurt you."Cordy hung up right there and then—she never could calm down when Dicky was concerned. Even so, she had no way to fight back against John.-John returned in two days, just as he had promised. Cordy was a light sleeper. She heard the noise outside, but didn’t get out of bed.
