A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 541
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

What would be the result? They should be prepared to face the unknown. Facing Cordy's gaze, John nodded. Bob quickly asked the restaurant under his company to send them a sumptuous meal at the fastest speed. It was so splendid that it was stacked on Cordy's dining table in almost two rows because her dining table was not large. Hence, Cordy made a joke. "Bob, are you worried that this is our last meal?" When she made that joke, she could see Bob's eyes turn red. "Stop spouting nonsense. You’ll live up to a hundred." Cordy laughed, then cried. John handed her a tissue paper. No one could guarantee whether they would face any danger or not. "Let's eat. You ate so little in these two days. Eating is very important." Sam tried to ease the tense atmosphere. Everyone started eating in silence. However, they could not enjoy the meal at all and could only force themselves to eat a little. Suddenly, Bob said, "I hated Jay very much in the past." Everyone looked at hi

Cordy leaned against John's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. However, she could not fall asleep at all. Even though she was very weak and sleepy now, she could not doze off. When she closed her eyes, all she saw was a bloody scene. It was all about the scene where Richard was in Jessica's hand. He was so young and helpless. "John," Cordy spoke up. She wanted to break the silence. She would be lost in wild thoughts if it was quiet and think about a lot of bad things. "Hmm." "Do you hate me?" Cordy suddenly questioned him. John was stunned briefly before he slowly shook his head. "No, I've never hated you." "Don't you ever blame me because I pushed you away again and again?" "No, I don't," John answered firmly. "All I thought about was how to pull you back to me every time you pushed me away. I didn't have the time to hate you." Bitterness overwhelmed her. How could he be so loyal? "Cordy, have I never told you why I love you so much?" John lowered

Why did he not tell her he loved her later on? "I lived abroad later on and rarely came back. What's more, Jessica was always around me. I didn’t realize my feelings for a long time." "So, were you moved by Jessica?" When he brought Jessica up, her heart inevitably skipped a beat. She hated Jessica so much. "No. When I returned from abroad and met you again at the bar when I was twenty, I knew that my feelings for you and Jessica were vastly different. She was just a person who shared my social status. The education I received since childhood influenced me unconsciously, so I forced myself to accept her. However, everything was ruined the moment I met you. My feelings for you are vastly different from my feelings toward her. I can't control them at all." Cordy bit her lips gently. She did not know that John had liked her for such a long time. He had secretly liked her for so many years. He had always been in love with her. She did not even know of him before she met him
