A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 590
The elderly woman was still fuming. After moving away, she growled, "Youngsters these days… They leave their manners at home!"Not one to back down, Lucas retorted, "So you didn't turn senile with age. You're just rotten in the first place."Cordy watched as that elderly woman grew livid, and felt glad for a second—women of this type tend to throw the weight of their seniority around to disrespect everyone.Soon, the elevator reached the lobby, and the elderly woman left with the others in a huff.Cordy shifted, and Lucas quickly released her as if he touched something filthy. He didn’t forget to mock her. "Don't give yourself too much credit. You'd be pushed towards me if that woman kept pushing you—that's why I snapped at her. Also, I despise physical contact the most.""I never did," Cordy replied as she strode out of the elevator. She wanted to thank him, but then thought that it was unnecessary. She strode straight towards the hotel entrance, and caught a chilling breeze

Cordy had no idea how many times they ran into each other by chance since yesterday.And judging from the look in Lucas’s eyes, she knew that he must be thinking that she was following him.She promptly put a hand around Sean’s arm, who appeared surprised by her action.Cordy had never taken the initiative in the years since he met her. The sudden gesture made him smile, and the smile turned gloating as he turned to see Lucas. At the same time, Cordy scowled a little—Lucas had never been nice to her, and he was even prejudiced against her just because she allowed her eyes to linger on him a little yesterday at Maron's backstage lounge.Still, leaving a good impression was unnecessary when it came to strangers. So, she simply kept her hands around Sean and strode past Lucas.A shop assistant promptly received them, but Cordy didn’t have any style in mind since she just needed something warm. Thus, she told the shop assistant to pick a clothing article for her at random.The sh

Sean continued, "He really resembles John, and even carries his bearing. Are you really—""No, he doesn't," Cordy snapped, cutting him short. "You'd know that he and John have nothing in common if you had the displeasure of his acquaintance."Sean smiled faintly, actually surprised that the day would come when someone could push Cordy buttons to this extent.Nonetheless, they returned to his car; Sean took her straight to Cranston House.Cordy inhaled sharply. "Nervous?" Sean asked."No, just not used to it," she replied."Just come back more often, and you'd get used to it.""Don't bother talking me into it," Cordy said bluntly. "My mom left all those years ago, and that makes it very clear that this place isn't all that nice."Sean actually had nothing to say about that. His family was really nothing to brag about. Otherwise, his aunt—that is, Cordy's mother—wouldn’t have cut all ties with Sean's grandfather just to run away from home.As they strode into the front hall, t

The Cranstons all sat down together and enjoyed a calm, peaceful chat before having a meal together.Cordy's coat was much thicker now, but she still felt very cold and lethargic, which was why she kept yawning."Didn't sleep well last night?" Jesse asked in concern. "I've been saying that the hotel is bad, and you should stay here with us.""I worked a little late last night, so I didn't sleep at the usual hour," Cordy lied."Work never ends. Don't work yourself sick," Jesse told her."Yes, I’ll be careful.""Do you want to sleep in your room? I've had the servants prepare it for you, so you could stay here whenever you come back.""It's alright. I've agreed to have a business discussion with Maron later, so I’ll be leaving soon," Cordy excused herself.She actually didn’t like being in the company of such a big family, even if everyone was friendly. Naturally, that friendliness might be surface-level—or perhaps because she posed no threat to them. It didn’t hurt to be nice

When they arrived outside Platinum Club, Cordy alighted. Sean told her. "Call me anytime you need me. I'd be on standby 24/7 as long as you're in the capital.""Why are you being this nice?" Cordy blurted, unable to help herself. Most of the time, she could accept things as they were—or to put it bluntly, she didn’t regard it with that much importance. In other words, she was fine with however Sean would treat her.And yet, her curiosity suddenly got the better of her.Sean was in turn silent for a couple seconds before replying nonchalantly, "It's my first impression of you, I guess. You looked likeable when I first laid eyes on you."Cordy was speechless, but she would give a perfect score to that answer which answered nothing.The Cranstons were certainly as sly as foxes."Drive safe," she told him politely.Sean smiled, and drove away.He was being honest, but Cordy was obviously skeptical. However, his Aunt Evelyn might have played a huge role in that impression too.

Cordy was suddenly very angry.Strangely enough, she couldn’t control her own temper when it came to Lucas."Why did you buy it?" she demanded.Lucas smirked as he looked up at her. "You're such a funny person. I have my own freedom in deciding the clothes I would like to buy—or maybe you're suggesting I should ask for your opinion first?'"You knew I bought the same design.""That's your business. What does that have to do with me?" Lucas’s smirk widened. "I liked it, so I bought it. As for your opinion, Miss Sachs, I'm sorry, but we're not that close that your feelings are within my consideration."Cordy bit her lip, livid.However, she had no comeback against Lucas' words.And did he really grow up abroad? Why was his Zidonian so fluent?!"That just means you both share the same standards," Maron said, quickly trying to calm things down. "You two really are frontliners in fashion—I agree that the design of that coat is good, and I was just talking to Lucas about it."Cordy

It was a hotel staff member, who brought Cordy her medicine. "Miss Sachs, if your symptoms aren't easing even after taking the medicine, you may call our front desk. We’ll provide transport to take you to the hospital.""Okay, thank you." "You're welcome."Cordy closed the door. She never had the habit of going to the hospital, and would usually recover from minor colds with just some medicine.She boiled some water and took her medicine before getting in bed again.She shivered as she curled into a ball under her blanket. She already had layers of those, and she was almost suffocating from the pressure.She finally touched her forehead—why was this one so awful? How bad was her fever?It had been two hours since she took the medicine, but she wasn’t sweating at all; her body temperature wasn’t decreasing either.What was more, it hurt like hell.Cordy eventually gave in—it was the first time she needed the hospital for a cold. Picking up the phone, she called the front d

The hotel guest continued to snap at Lucas. "It's just a lover's quarrel—do you really have to go that far? Young people these days really have no sense of responsibility or tact!"Lucas took a deep breath, but there was no explaining himself right now.Walking towards Cordy, he picked her unconscious body off the floor. The instant he did, he could feel that her body was ablaze.Was she trying to kill herself?Lucas quickened his pace as he carried her off.Cordy wasn’t fully unconscious in his arms, but her thoughts were muddled.She felt as if she was in a car, which was moving rapidly. At the same time, she felt a source of warmth beside her—she had been feeling cold the whole day, and was shivering no matter how many blankets she put over herself. Suddenly, a familiar sensation flared within her mind, and she wanted to get closer to it.Lucas frowned. Even as he carried Cordy into the car that the hotel arranged, he could feel her constantly pressing and rubbing her
