A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 600
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

Naturally, Lucas didn’t know who that person was, but he gave Cordy the benefit of the doubt—that she really had someone she missed.That, or her ability at seduction was far above the rest."I won't get upset with you. Let me go," he said, his tone now a bit milder. Cordy shook her head stubbornly, however, and kept holding onto him very tightly."You'd be gone if I let you go…" she murmured."I’ll stay.""No…" There was even a pout in her tone, and she was brushing her cheeks against his thigh.Lucas's heart skipped a beat.This accursed woman… Was she actually a succubus?!Lucas finally had enough. He had every intention to push her away, when he looked down and saw the satisfied smile on her face. His hand paused.He suddenly had this feeling that she carried an air of melancholy.He couldn’t quite describe it, but she was broken inside despite her tough exterior—once she was quiet or alone, she projected a sense of loneliness, as if she had been abandoned. The way sh

Lucas froze, caught by complete surprise.Cordy actually kissed him!His heart skipped a beat.What was he thinking?! He was letting a stranger do whatever she wanted with his body!His eyes narrowed, all the sentiment in his eyes vaporizing and leaving only coldness.He had no intentions of sparing Cordy, and so he opened his mouth and bit her heavily on the lips."Ow…"The woman who had been so intent on kissing him for one moment, had her eyes welling up with tears the next.She looked at him, miserably and pitifully.She was at once tender yet seductive, innocent but passionate."Goddamn succubus," Lucas muttered under his breath.She could tug at a man's heartstrings, even though she was just withstanding the pain he gave her.Nonetheless, he pushed her away firmly, only to be given a clear view of her delicate expression; her lips that were now painted red with blood.It was such an alluring sight that no man could resist it. For some reason, Lucas was getting upset.

John…The single glance of stupor left Cordy’s tears running freely. However, she remembered in the next instant that the man was Lucas and not John.From the back, his resemblance to John was uncanny, hence why she mistook him for John…Even so, her tears quietly drenched her pillow.On the other hand, Lucas had a nagging feeling that someone was watching him from behind. No matter how much he tried to ignore it, he could still imagine her wounded look. All he could think about was that inconsolable misery he saw in her eyes when he pushed her away just now.What on earth did she go through that made her look as if she had been abandoned by the whole world, when could she have anything she wanted?!And was it feigned? Was she pretending? If that was the case, she might even win an Oscar for it!With that in mind, it only made sense that she managed to fool him.He kept telling himself that; then, he sat up in his bed and turned to look at Cordy. Nothing was clear in the da

The night passed; Cordy opened her eyes, woken up by the motion in her ward.She blinked.It had been a while since she felt so terrible waking up, as she was usually wide awake after waking up.On the other hand, she felt like she wanted to sleep in today; she actually slept very well last night. She could clearly tell that she slept soundly for a long while, too.As she opened her bleary eyes, still feeling muddled, she noticed many figures in lab coats filing into her ward. They turned out to be doctors doing their rounds. She answered every question that the doctor leading the group asked her. He didn’t say much and turned to leave, leading the rest out of her ward when he was done.A nurse entered after they left. She took Cordy’s temperature and asked, "Made up with your boyfriend, have we?"It was only then that Cordy realized Lucas was in her bed as well, and hiding himself beneath her blanket.He must’ve done so when the doctors came in, bothering him in his sleep
