A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 678
Lucas frowned, feeling a sharp sting ever so slightly.He looked up at Dicky, and saw the boy blushing. Dicky quickly got out of his seat with the excuse that he was full.Cordy noted her son's odd behavior. Since she wasn't watching when Dicky touched Lucas's head, she didn’t know what exactly he did.She watched as he suddenly left, thinking that he probably got embarrassed—he never acted like that before.Still, they were fortunate that they weren’t seated at the main table, where the elders were. Rules weren’t that strictly enforced on the other tables.On the other hand, Nana watched as Dicky left. She turned to ask Lucas softly, "You really like Dicky, don't you?""Why'd you say that?" Lucas asked in return, putting a shrimp on her plate.He had been doting on her like that since the food arrived. The others on the table had teased her a few times, leaving her blushing."Well, you're really nice to him," Nana said."Aren't I nice to you?""That's different!" Nana shook

Cordy went upstairs again after getting another slice of cake. Just as she reached the second floor, however, a ruckus took place downstairs.Cordy hurried downstairs, presuming that the Lynds were leaving and that she should see them off as well as a gesture of respect. At least, until she heard, "Help! Somebody! Nana's in trouble!"Cordy's heart skipped a beat—what happened to Nana?In that instant, she quickly strode downstairs. Just as she did so, Lucas entered from the living room, shoving his way through the crowd and cradling Nana's breathless frame in her arms.Her cheeks were flushed and her breathing rushed—she looked like she could catch something terrible and die at an instant!Cordy wondered if there really was something wrong with Nana's health, since even Jesse had been especially concerned about it; as was Lucas. She appeared very concerned, completely oblivious that she had something to do with Nana's sudden condition.Lucas cried, "Get an ambulance right now!"

In turn, Cordy’s fury rose and she shot back, "How should I know?!"Cordy knew she shouldn’t be throwing a fit when Nana was this weak, but Nana kept eating the cake despite knowing her own allergy. That was Nana's own fault!"Who told you to give it to her without asking? She's physically different, get it?!" Lucas kept yelling at her regardless, albeit over a different reason."I didn't give it to her. She asked for it!" Cordy lost her cool for some reason, though she certainly didn’t want to take it lying down when she was unjustly framed. "She asked for it? When she knows that her allergy could stop her heart?!" Lucas kept screaming, uncaring for her words. "Do you know about her congenital heart defect? That her allergy could trigger it? Are you saying that she wanted to die when she asked for that cake?!"Cordy bit her lip, confused why Nana would play around when her own life was at stake.Was Nana that eager to fill her belly? Even if it meant dying?!Lucas was still de

Cordy bit her lip, having no response to her grandfather's begrudging accusation of her.It turned out that Jesse knew all along—he simply left it unsaid. "Don't let it get to you. I know you, and if I hadn't…" Jesse's words trailed off as he sighed, and quickly changed the subject. "The Lynds were feeling hot-headed tonight. That's why I didn't defend you—saying too much would upset them, and in turn, they’d be even angrier with you. Let's wait until Nana recovers. I’ll find a chance to clear the air with my sister.""Thank you, Grandfather.""You must be tired too. Get some rest.""You too." With that, Cordy left Jesse's room.She could feel his care and love for her, but in reality, she had a hard time accepting such an unfamiliar family.-Dicky was waiting for her in her room. Cordy asked him calmly, "Aren't you going back to your room to sleep?""Aren't you upset? Lucas yelled at you," Dicky asked her very bluntly. "I am, but it's understandable," she replied.Sh

Cordy assured Dicky. "Don't worry. You'll definitely grow very tall.""Yeah!" Dicky nodded. "I'll definitely become taller than Lucas.” Cordy was left speechless, since that might be unnecessary. What if he got taller than six feet? That would make getting a girlfriend harder.Nonetheless, her feigned composure crumbled after Dicky left. It had been an unpleasant day, after all.-Early next morning, someone knocked on Cordy's door.She opened it to find Sean standing at the doorway, looking a little tired.Had he just returned from the hospital? What about Nana?"Sorry to wake you this early," he apologized, unaware that he was insomniac.Come to think of it, Cordy had been forgetting to buy herself sleeping pills since she came to Cranson Hall. She basically hadn’t slept for days; technically, Sean wasn’t waking her up. "How's Nana?" she asked bluntly."She's fine. She's not in any immediate danger," Sean said, and breathed a sigh of relief."It's that serious? What

"I'm coming with you," Sean said, asserting his stance.Though he wanted Cordy to go, he would never allow her to suffer any grief.Still, Cordy told him, "It's okay. You've been on your feet the whole night. You should get some proper rest for the day.""No, I'm perfectly fine. Let's go."Cordy hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn’t turn him down.Sean only wanted to resolve the matter as soon as he could. As the eldest of his generation, he was obliged to help his father and grandfather in handling various family issues, and he certainly took that responsibility seriously. Moreover, he wanted Cordy to understand that he would always be at her side, protecting her no matter what.However, Cordy was unsure why he was so nice to her.Sure, she was as rich as she was famous. However, she couldn’t see what Sean would get out of helping her so much.Well, perhaps she could just pretend it was due to their familial bond."I'll tell Dicky," she said, since she was worried the

As Lucas entered the room, Sean stirred—he was the type who got woken up easily.Staring at the blanket over himself for a moment and then at Cordy, he asked, "How long have I been asleep?""Less than ten minutes," Cordy said feebly. As a chronic insomniac, she had a profound empathy for being woken up abruptly.Sean stretched his arms, and didn’t appear to be upset from being woken up abruptly. "I wasn't tired, but fell asleep for some reason. You brought me this blanket?""It's nothing.""I know." Sean smiled faintly. Was she really so concerned to let on that she was actually that nice?She definitely got that from her mother, his aunt."Come in," Lucas said, suddenly emerging from Nana's room. "Nana’s asking to see you.""She's finally awake," Sean said, though his tone was a little grumpy."Yeah," Cordy said, and nothing else as they followed Lucas inside.Nana's face was still pale and she looked weak, but she smiled when she saw them come in. Seeing her like that, anyo

Lucas pursed his lips, but said nothing."Yes, he’s too worried about me. Otherwise, he'd never yell at people without knowing what happened. He usually doesn't behave like that," Nana defended Lucas.It appeared as if she wanted them to settle their differences, but in reality, anyone could tell that she was bragging about her close relationship with Lucas. However, she conveyed herself so naturally there would never be wounded feelings."That's how people behave when it comes to people they care about," Cordy said, agreeing to it.She was convinced it was fine as long as they cleared the air, and that she didn’t need any apologies. It was unnecessary, and was no big deal in the first place."Don't worry, Cordy. I'll head home soon and talk to my family to clear the misunderstanding," Nana promised."Thank you," Cordy replied, not rejecting the offer since it was naturally better to clear her name. Otherwise, things would be difficult for her grandfather Jesse."Of course. Bu
