A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 596
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

Lucas simply sat beside them as they worked, until the nurse turned towards him and instructed, "If she isn't sweating or the fever isn't breaking in half-an-hour, press this button to call us.""...Okay," he replied.With that, the nurse left, leaving Lucas alone and watching Cordy, whose little face was furrowed. Upon a closer look, he decided that she was attractive. He usually never looked at others so closely, especially women. In fact, he was a little sick of them. And yet, as he looked closely at Cordy and acknowledged her good looks, he decided that it was not surprising that she carried such confidence in the way she spoke to him. Still, he suddenly remembered the man she was clinging to just this morning, and ultimately kept his distance.He took out his phone, fiddling with it to kill time as he sat beside Cordy's bed.Half an hour later, he reached out to put a palm on her forehead. Perhaps because she had been sleeping on an ice pillow, but he felt that her

Lucas promptly argued, "I'm not a relative."The doctor shot him a glare and asked bluntly, "Why are you dressed like a couple if she's not your girlfriend?"Lucas was so furious, he could take off his coat right there and then."Why did you bring her to the hospital if she's not your girlfriend?" the doctor pressed.Lucas was going to explain himself when the doctor added, "Weren’t you kissing her just now?”"I wasn't kissing her!" Lucas growled, agitated. Cordy knew that too, and she was awake when he leaned towards her.However, seeing Lucas getting annoyed made her feel happy. She even looked at him in disbelief on purpose.Lucas immediately sensed Cordy's gaze. "Why are you staring at me like that? Did you really think I'd kiss you?"Before Cordy could speak, the doctor said, "It's normal for couples to fight, but you should learn to compromise. How much is one’s ego worth, after all? You'll be regretting it so badly if she leaves you.""Look, I—""That's enough of tha

Naturally, it wasn’t to say that Cordy’s impression of Lucas had improved.She simply didn’t find it necessary to be confrontational with him.Nonetheless, Lucas snorted with disdain. "Don't even think about it.""That won't do," Cordy retorted, and shrugged off her blanket to get to her feet.Although she was under the impression that she had gotten much better, she must’ve sweated so much that her vision blacked out abruptly the moment she got up; her body suddenly went limp.Lucas was close enough to react quickly, catching her just as she was about to fall.His hands were a little firm as he held her in his arms. Cordy felt the world spinning around her, but she soon recovered.The instant she did, she sensed her own body pressing against Lucas; she even felt his heart racing.In turn, her heart skipped a beat."You really are resourceful when it comes to bewitching men," he said, releasing her.All the warmth Cordy felt from his kindness was immediately doused by a bucke

Lucas’s phone started ringing, and he answered it.After a simple exchange, he got to his feet and headed outside the ward.Cordy looked up at him, about to ask if he was going to leave—there was no way he’d be that nice and stay with her in the ward for an entire night.However, she didn’t ask her question since she saw that he really was in a rush. Whatever—they were ultimately strangers, and he could do anything he liked.Cordy shifted her posture as she read her phone.She basically slept after fainting and catching a high fever, and wasn’t sleepy at all now—it could be yet another sleepless night.Nonetheless, she tapped on her news app. She scrolled through the business section and found nothing of note, and then turned to the entertainment section. It turned out that Lucas actually made headlines since a lot of people were mesmerized by his good looks, with many fangirls commenting their infatuation on the article.Cordy wondered how many of them would give up if they

Cordy walked towards the tea table and picked up the bowl of chicken soup, which was still warm.She just happened to desire something warm and filling like this, but she left half of it.She wasn’t sure if Lucas had eaten, but she definitely wasn’t finishing such a huge bowl on her own.She was still taking sips of the soup when Lucas stepped out of the bathroom, clad in expensive dark-green silk pajamas.Cordy had to admit that he had the looks to scorn the world, and somehow understood his disdain for others.She smiled ever so subtly—in the end, humans were shallow in nature."I saved half the soup for you. Do you want it?" she asked."Yeah," he replied, and walked up to her side. There was still steam swirling around him; he must’ve bought his own soap as well, since he smelled different.Comment by _ Lunaelle: Soup or soap?Comment by Bernard Choong: Soap is rightCordy shifted aside since both of them didn’t like to get too close with each other, though she must also

Lucas turned to lay on his side, keeping his back to Cordy.Cordy followed suit; while she disliked his attitude, his words undoubtedly offered her slight relief.If anything happened between a man and a woman in the same room, she would be the one who stood to lose. As such, Lucas's words gave her a mysterious sense of security.The night was quiet, and Cordy seemed to hear Lucas's breathing assuming a steady, regular rhythm.He certainly fell asleep very quickly; when she thought about it, he really did put himself through the grinder tonight.Thinking about it that way, he wasn’t all that evil—despite his complete reluctance, he ultimately endured it, and somehow ended up as her guardian.Cordy turned around, since she really wasn’t used to sleeping in that posture.When she did, she found that Lucas had already turned as well. In his case, he was sound asleep even as he faced her. It was too dark for her to see his facial features clearly, but that was also the reason why
