A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 602
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
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 608
Cordy couldn’t help lamenting at how unfair the gods were—why did Lucas still look so attractive when he was clearly so disheveled?!"I'm warning you, Cordy—don't make a sound while I'm sleeping," he snapped tempestuously, before cursing. "Fuck!"Cordy didn’t know why he was being grouchy—what was so upsetting about being woken up?She went through the same thing, but she wasn’t at all upset. Unbeknownst to her, Lucas had almost gone the entire night without sleep.Cordy had no idea what mischief her hands were up to after she fell asleep, with her fingers crawling all over his body… Any man would be in shambles!Even so, Lucas bore with it the entire night; it was morning when he succumbed to his drowsiness and fell asleep.However, the doctors doing their rounds entered just as he closed his eyes. He had to work so hard to restrain himself from flipping out!Next time, he would never allow his conscience to get the better of him. He certainly asked for it!As he pulled
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 609
Patrick’s text popped up right then. [Where are you, Cordy?] [Why were you unconscious?!] [The staff at your hotel informed me that you were taken to the hospital last night! What happened?]Cordy could sense Patrick's agitation from his rapid-fire questions. She texted back: [I'm at the hospital right now because I had a serious fever yesterday. I'm fine now.] [Which hospital? I'll be right there.][I'm getting discharged now.][I’ll give you a ride.][I'm going back to North City right after.][I happen to be going there too. I'll come with you.]Cordy was speechless—the man really stuck to her like a bubble gum. He sent her yet another clingy text: [Just let me come to you, Cordy. I'm worried if you're going alone.]Cordy finally gave in. [Are you done with your business here?] She had no idea why Patrick came to the capital, and actually had the feeling that he might have come to meet her and watch the exhibition in passing. Still, she remembered that Patrick was
