A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 538
John was ready to storm the storehouse with his men when Cordy caught his hand."John," she murmured, even as he felt how skinny his fingers were.If she could, she really wanted to hold on tightly to that hand and to stop him from facing any danger.But now, she had to let him go and tell him, "You have to keep Dicky safe.""I will." John agreed to it right away, able to read between her lines.He knew that she was telling him that he must keep Richard safe even at the cost of his life, but he agreed to it without hesitation.John had never once accused her of failing to keep Richard safe and allowing Richard to be exposed to such danger although he had entrusted Richard to her.Cordy released John's hand just then, and he gave her an assuring look before quickly heading inside the warehouse with his men.They were afraid of going loud and therefore moved carefully toward the warehouse entrance.John leaned against it when he reached it and gave his bodyguards a pointed look

The man replied stubbornly, "I don't know."Pow!John punched the man squarely in the face right then, turning the already bruised face bloody."I'll ask again. Where did Jessica take my son?! I'll kill you, believe it!" John threatened, his veins bulging viciously right then."In this line of work, you live or you die. Kill me if you want, I'll never betray my employer—Argh!"John punched him viciously in the face again, leaving him with teeth-gritting agony. "Where is she?!" he bellowed, strangling him just then.Being taller than the average man, he had the height advantage even though he was skinny now.He looked down at the other man loftily, his sharp glare bursting with bloodlust. "Where's Jessica?! Tell me!""I'd rather die than talk," the man grunted with much difficulty as John started to strangle him!Breathing was becoming increasingly difficult, and the man was starting to suffocate…But he was not giving in at all!"John!" Cordy suddenly called out loudly,

Cordy quietly shook her head and held on tightly to John's hand as she led him out of the dilapidated warehouse.They returned to the car and sat together in silence.When he turned toward her, he saw that her whole body was still shaking, just as she had when she hugged him in the warehouse. He had no idea if she was shaking because his savagery scared her or if she was still worried about Richard."Jessica did this on purpose," he said, attempting to break the deathly silence.Cordy looked up at him and nodded.When she could not find Richard in the warehouse, she knew Jessica had tricked them.Jessica was not stupid, and having followed John around for years, she would more or less know how he operated. Everything Jessica had done today was a purposeful retaliation."Let's check the footage again when we get back, see if we find anything," John added.Cordy nodded quietly.-Eventually, they returned to Cordy's apartment.Sam and Bob hurried to them when they saw them

Cordy quietly ate her bowl of oatmeal without feeling its taste.At the same time, Bob helped John bandage that gruesome swelling on the back of his hand. It hurt Bob to look at it, but he had no words of comfort. He also remembered Richard, and the thought of something terrible happening to a little boy like Richard…No, he could not bear to let himself think that.And it would naturally be worse for his biological parents.Bob simply assured himself that the boy was born lucky and would be free from trouble.After bandaging John, Bob offered, "Want to step out for a smoke?"John shook his head, but Bob tried to reason with him. "Keeping yourself tense like this won't work. Just relax—one cigarette won't cost you that much time."Bob certainly could not bear John hurting himself like this. If there was a clue in the video, someone as outstanding as John would have found it already. It would not take him that long.Right now, Bob was just trying to get John preoccupied or h

There was sheer terror in Cordy's eyes as she shrieked, "Dicky!""Cordy," John said, quickly wrapping his arms around her and coaxing her, "Calm down. It's John. I'm here. You were just having a bad dream.""No… Dicky…" Cordy's tears began to gush nonetheless.She just had a nightmare that Jessica pushed her boy off a cliff.She tried to protect him but was unable to reach them in time, and she could only watch as Richard's tiny frame fell off the cliff amid Jesscia's maniacal laughter."Wake up, Cordy," John said, cupping her tearful cheeks.He saw that the fear in her eyes was not fading, and there was no focus in her gaze. Still, she blinked when she finally heard his voice. "John. I just saw Dicky… but Jessica pushed him off a cliff…""That won't happen!" John told her determinedly. "I'll save Dicky—I won't let anything happen to him!""But…" Cordy murmured, though her eyes were finally starting to focus. She could see John from up close, but she could not control her

"John, that’s just not your style. Why do you lose control so fast?" Jessica mocked him. "I thought you would always remain indifferent in front of me, but you would seem agitated in front of me too." "What do you want?" John gritted his teeth. "I don't know what I want either. What do you think I want since I've lost everything now?" Jessica asked in answer before she laughed at herself. "Should I feel lucky that I beat you to it and came to North City with a plan before you plan to ruin my family? If not, my brother and I would have been locked up in prison by now. After all, all your evidence points to me." "Yes, I was the one who brought this to you, and I ruined your family. Just deal with me. Tell me where you are now, and I'll go there right away. You can do whatever you want to me!" John could not hide his wrath at all. "But I don't want to see you now. John, let's play a game," Jessica suggested wickedly. John's expression changed drastically. He knew very well wha

He saw John's bloodshot eyes. John wasn’t in great shape as he had just come out of prison. Besides, he had been burning the midnight oil all that while, so he was greatly exhausted. If that continued, Bob was afraid that John just collapse. "Go and sleep for a while. It's useless even if you hold on like this. Why don't you take a brief rest? Maybe you'll have some ideas." Bob tried to persuade John. John shook his head before he looked toward Cordy. He saw the frail and slim figure sitting before the computer motionlessly. She occasionally drew something on the paper. After Jessica called her and said so many threatening words, Cordy seemed to have calmed down all of a sudden. People would generally collapse under that kind of circumstance. However, she suddenly calmed herself down. She had been staring at the surveillance video and jotting things down seriously and repeatedly for as long as twelve hours. After that, she speculated and eliminated unlikely things again

"We can put aside all the so-called blind spots in the video to look for the place that Jessica might have gone to. We've spent too much time here. What I mean to say is that she didn't dare to cause a scene, so it means that she didn't have enough time or a lot of power either. It means that she couldn't get the map of the so-called blind spots of the roads in North City. "Since she couldn't get hold of such a thing, she couldn't be sure that she could avoid all the blind spots." While pointing at her map, Cordy added, "This is what I found from the surveillance video. This is the route from where Jessica's car was last parked to Dicky's school. I marked all the blind spots. It doesn't look like there are a lot of blind spots, but I almost affirm that she wouldn't take a risk given her intelligence and scheming." Cordy was trying to prove her point. "I wouldn't have taken a risk if it were me," Sam echoed her words. "It also means that we all had been fooled by Jessica. She mi
