A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 606
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

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

Lucas had a smug look on his face. "Aha! So you're admitting to it?"Stumped, Cordy turned pale; however, she quickly decided to change the subject. Since she couldn’t beat him, she simply gave up, not wanting to suffer him any further."Where were you going? Why were you in such a rush?" she demanded.Lucas, however, was suddenly dumbstruck.Cordy frowned—wasn’t he supposed to be perfect at debates? How did such a simple question stump him?He eventually sighed and muttered, "I…I needed to pee.""Aren't you heading in the wrong direction?""I was still dazed from sleep, okay?" he snapped, his voice a little loud just."Why are you getting so upset?" Cordy was angry too—it seemed they just had to argue with every other exchange. "I…" Lucas was stumped again while Cordy pressed him, "Are you kidneys really that good? Go relieve yourself already!"Lucas flushed; as he left, he snapped in displeasure, "My kidneys are perfectly fine!"With that, he turned around and ran int

Cordy and Lucas rode the same car back to the hotel.Neither of them spoke along the way, staying silent as if they were two strangers sharing a cab.They kept their distance when they returned to the hotel as well, heading inside one after another.Even as they got in the elevator, they looked like they would rather die than talk to each other.Arriving on her floor, Cordy arrived at her room and was about to open the door when Patrick suddenly opened it, exclaiming, "Surprise!"Cordy was left stunned even as fresh flower petals rained down on her.The man was supposed to be more mature than this! Why was a political elite behaving like a little boy around her?!Seeing that she was speechless, he asked tentatively, "Don't you like it?""Nope."Patrick's tone turned wounded. "I was thinking that it'd be a waste to throw those flowers I bought the other day, so I plucked every petal to prepare a gift celebrating your discharge from the hospital."Cordy actually imagined him

Cordy denied it right then. "Nope."John's personality was not as rotten as his. "Yeah, I thought so too." Patrick sighed in relief then. "At least you won't hook up with him and dump me because of who he looks like.""I would never," Cordy said bluntly—that was never going to happen.With that, Cordy and Patrick returned to her room and had lunch together before getting in the hotel's car to get to the airport. They both had first-class tickets, but Cordy was not sitting with Patrick because their tickets were not booked together. Patrick waited for the one who would sit with Cordy so that he could ask to trade seats.However, both him and Cordy were stunned when they saw who it was.It had to be the mother of all coincidences! -Naturally, it was none other than Lucas.Why on earth would he go to North City instead of staying at the capital? Cordy actually wondered if he was tailing her.On the other hand, Lucas's expression darkened when he saw Cordy as well, looki

Cordy sighed grumpily. "He refused to.""Then, how about I change seats with you?" Patrick suggested.Cordy blinked.Why did she not think of that?!Thank goodness Patrick was sharp!"Okay." Cordy agreed to it right then.Patrick eagerly got up and went straight to Cordy's seat.When Lucas turned to see Patrrick sitting down beside him, his expression clearly darkened. Patrick was suddenly in a good mood, since he had been quite annoyed by Lucas' conceited bearing, but he clearly won this round.Cordy was in a good mood as well. Still, she never did expect to have her mood so heavily affected by such a trivial man.The plane soon took flight toward North City.While Lucas was reading a local paper and appearing quite serious about it, Patrick asked, "Can you read Zidonian?"Lucas ignored him, but Patrick ignored his indifference and pressed, "You might be able to understand and speak it, but it doesn't make you literate." "My father is from the capital," Lucas growled im
