A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 705
Zoe and Quinn both rushed into the men's room. They had been feeling dazed, and so never realized that they should go into the washroom with Cordy to help her out. Still, they were startled when they heard the loud thud inside, and charged inside without noticing that it was the men's room…where they were left astonished.They both wondered if they were hallucinating from all that alcohol. Why else would they see Cordy in such an embarrassing position?One must understand that she was a goddess, perfect in manners and bearing, never once losing dignity in public.And yet, right now… Both Zoe and Quinn were blinking in disbelief, staring at Cordy after she pulled down a man's pants and before falling before his feet.It was a sight that burnt itself into one's memory; both Zoe and Quinn forgot to help Cordy, their eyes drifting simultaneously from Cordy up to the man's muscular long legs, and the black boxers that were hugging his rounded posterior. They were too drunk to both

Cordy had seen 'that' alright.It really hurt her eyes to see it; she needed to wash them when she got home."So I wasn't imagining it?" Zoe's face turned paler.While Cordy and Quinn were both left perplexed, Zoe panickily tugged on Cordy's sleeve. "He must have some grudge that keeps him here to rise from the grave like that! That's why he's haunting us… Come on, we have to visit his grave right this instant!""Visit whose grave?" Cordy was perplexed, suddenly realizing that Zoe was operating on a completely different wavelength from herself. Was Zoe really that drunk?"His grave, of course!" Zoe said solemnly. "He must be getting lonely.""What… Oh?!"Cordy yelped as Zoe started dragging her away. Her body was already aching from the fall just now, and her ankles were swollen.And now, she was getting dragged unceremoniously around by Zoe!Next time…No, there wouldn’t be a next time. She was never drinking with them again, but if she had to, she wouldn’t get drunk!Res

"To light a candle and put some flowers at his grave, of course," Zoe said, as if it made perfect sense."What, did you see a ghost?" Cordy frowned in bemusement. "Yeah!" Zoe nodded repeatedly. "You saw him too, didn't you?""When?" "You just did… Whatever, you were drunk," Zoe snorted, not bothered to elaborate.Who was the one drunk here again?!"Let's go," Zoe said, and quickly dragged both of them towards the graveyard."Hold it." Quinn stopped her. "Are you sure we're going in there? In the middle of the night?""I mean, I have to light a candle and put some flowers at his grave, right?" "Zoe, are you—""Zip it! Let's move."Zoe refused to let them speak and kept shoving them inside.The graveyard was dimly lit, though the rows of graves were clean and tidy.Only the rich and powerful of North City can be interred here. In fact, it cost so much to buy a lot here that the most expensive apartment units in the city were cheaper.For Zoe's part, she never saw the poi

Cordy stared quietly at the headstone, and at the familiar face on the ceramic photo. That face that could only be seen in photos now, so close yet so far…The agony in her heart struck her like a thunderstorm, and she completely lost control as her tears gushed endlessly.It had been three years, but she believed she would never forget John, even if thirty years had passed."Cordy..."Zoe walked up to her side, feeling a little guilty.She was spurred by a drunken impulse to bring Cordy here. Had she known this would happen, she would’ve come alone.John probably just wanted some flowers and candles, and they would just leave them here and be done with it.Cordy bit her lip, trying to hide her feelings. She really hated letting her feelings out.And yet, there was no controlling it when it hurt so much."Let's just go." Zoe had no idea what else to say, other than taking Cordy and leaving as soon as they were done here.In fact, she was worried Cordy could die from the ago

Zoe cried, "W-What should we do?"The shock left her helpless."What else can we do?! Put out the fire!" Quinn snapped."Oh, right!" Zoe exclaimed, and promptly took off her coat.Quinn followed suit, and Cordy had no choice but to follow.The trio did their best, but just as they put it out…"What are you doing?!" A voice barked in the darkness.Zoe thought that she would have died hundreds of times over if she had a bad heart.Nonetheless, the trio turned to find a security guard dressed in uniform, scowling as he barked at them, "Got yourselves drunk and came to set the place on fire, did we?"Zoe began, "Look, gramps—""Who are you calling gramps?!" The man was further incensed. “I'm just in my thirties!"Zoe was left speechless for a moment, wondering how white his hair was for a thirtyish man. Still, she said, "Look, friend, we're not here to burn things or anything. We're just here to visit a grave, and the candle we brought somehow set the flowers on fire. But see? W

Zoe asked innocently, "Then… Can we bail each other?""What do you think?"Zoe sighed quietly, afraid from blurting the “Yes” she had in mind.In fact, she had no intention of making things awkward for the cops. She really had no one who could post bail for her.She had no relatives and no other friends than the pair with her here.Cordy understood Zoe's misgivings, and was left wondering how things became of Zoe and her biological mother.But since Zoe didn’t want to say, Cordy wouldn’t ask.Cordy sent a text on Whatsapp, before calling Randy to post bail…until she gasped in surprise. "What?! You're on your honeymoon?""You approved my leave immediately too, Miss Sachs!" Randy was on the verge of tears. The man had just left town with his new bride, but if he rushed back in the night now, he would end up marrying his job instead."Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot." Cordy remembered then, along with the approval she gave."I delegated my tasks to Walter…""Yeah, I know. Happy ho

Zoe had more to say, but Cordy quickly left with Lucas, leaving Zoe rubbing her eyes. "How much did you drink, honestly?" Quinn groaned beside her."That's definitely John," Zoe insisted.Cordy said he was not—they just looked alike."Likeness is not the point here." Zoe snorted. "Don't you get it? It's his presence—the way it hits you like a truck when he's just standing there. Hell, if I'm wrong, you can take my head and use it as a chair."Quinn was left speechless. "… I wouldn't dare." "So, is that a human or a ghost?" Zoe mused then, seemingly obsessed with the question.Quinn was rolling her eyes, realizing right then that she could not properly communicate with Zoe tonight now that she was all caught up in that mumbo jumbo."Maybe he actually survived?!" Zoe suddenly exclaimed excitedly when she imagined that possibility."Keep it down!" an officer barked."Y-Yes, sir." Zoe was promptly cowed.Even so, she had a hard time calming down at the thought that John might

Zoe noted that Sam still had that old, fashionable buzz cut of his as he walked up and stared down at her. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm here to post bail for Quinn."Zoe pursed her lips—she would still feel awkward being caught red-handed for bad-mouthing someone behind their back."Sam," Jay called out to the man just then.As Sam turned towards his friend, Jay gestured with his chin. "Get registered over here."Sam headed over right then, while Zoe turned toward Quinn, who was smiling faintly.Zoe simply could not understand—she always knew that Quinn had no love for Sam, so why did Quinn insist on sticking with him?-After the paperwork was done, all four of them left the precinct together.Sam and Jay had been talking for a while when, considering that Jay had trouble walking, Sam asked, "Need a ride?""It's fine. My chauffeur's here.""I'm going, then.""Come hang out when you're free," Jay said then. "Bob's been complaining that you haven't been talking to us, an
