A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 722
As Nana happily left, Cordy's gaze darkened as she watched her leave.If she was not sure before if Nana had been probing her, she was now.Nana was clearly testing her, to see if there was anything fishy going on between her and Lucas. In fact, Nana deliberately mentioned that she never had sex with Lucas just to test if Cordy would react happily to that information. That in turn would compel Cordy to suggest that Lucas was abstaining because of Nana's health problems, which was a reminder to Cordy of how much Lucas cared about Nana, so that Cordy would not get any funny ideas.It was just as Cordy thought—Nana was not as simple as she seemed.However, it did not matter that much since she was just a distant relative. What Nana was really like was not something she had to worry about.Cordy just had to know that Nana was not as childishly naive as she appeared, and that was plenty enough.Cordy fidgeted in bed, actually feeling sleepy because of her fever.And as she closed h

Finally having had enough, Cordy yelled back at Lucas, "Did I ask you for anything?! Who told you to come?! I was sleeping here just fine, and I didn't need you to wake me, let alone yell at me! Even if I'm being negligent to my son, that's my own business. What right do you have to care?! You're not his father!""Cordy Sachs!" Lucas snarled through his teeth.Nonetheless, Cordy continued, "Don't stand there acting like you're being noble when you're just going to emotionally blackmail me! Who do you think you are?! Even if I die here, it has nothing to do with you! What you did was a violation of my personal privacy, and I can sue you for it!"Lucas was left absolutely livid, and glaring at Cordy with red eyes while feeling the impulse to strangle her for an instant. He had no idea why he would overreact to her. All he knew was that when he passed by, an unknown sense of terror struck him when he saw that her blood was being drained into the IV bag. He did not hesitate in that in

At this point, Cordy had to blame it on a grudge from a past lifeHowever, Nana's seemingly innocent gaze was still fixed on Cordy. "But it feels to me that he cares a lot about you—he was so worried when he saw your blood being drained into the IV bottle. He only snapped at you because he thinks you're refusing to take care of yourself, and it's out of concern… What should I do? I think I'm getting jealous.""You're kidding," Cordy said naturally. "Lucas is just overreacting like anyone would during a crisis. I would call for the medical staff if I were in the same situation as well, and as for his temper… don't you think that he really doesn't like me at all, and he's always finding an excuse to vent at me?""But Lucas isn't like that. He wouldn't do that to the others.""That's what I've been saying. We rub each other the wrong way," Cordy said in disdain—she was still feeling frustrated and stressed even as she recalled how Lucas flipped out at her."Don't tell me… you've fall

Nana continued, "I'm sorry, Cordy, I really don't want to ask this of you, but I'm so afraid of losing Lucas. Could you at least promise me to keep your distance as long as it's not about business?""I already have. I've never tried to get near him, and I'm not interested in him…"Cordy trailed off as she stared at Nana's hopeful yet miserable look, and she said, "Alright, I promise."Nana's tearful expression turned to a smile right then, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Cordy! I knew you were a good person!"Cordy thought she was far from it—she certainly did not think Nana's overly humble stance in her relationship deserved pity.She just did not want to waste her time staying involved with them and then cause trouble for herself because of them.In fact, she would have done it whether she agreed to it—Lucas was just that incompatible with her. Nana just could not bring herself to buy that reality and simply wanted a definitive answer from Cordy.Cordy in turn decided

Lucas wiped away Nana's tears, saying, "I'm staying with you. Don't worry over nothing.""I don't want to, but you've changed so much. You used to look at me only, but now, you're always finding Cordy…" She sobbed even as she grabbed his wrist. "I'm so scared!""We're getting married soon," Lucas assured her. "We'll decide on a date once my parents return, so stop being paranoid.""Actually, I spoke a lot with Cordy just now…" Nana said, staring at him dolefully.Lucas did not ask any questions, so she continued, "I told her to stay away from you and not to talk to you."Lucas blinked."Are you upset?" Nana could always sense when his emotions stirred—even a little."Nope."Nana's hands clenched on his just then. "Cordy agreed that she won't reach out to you. I know what I did was despicable, but I can't help it. I'm really scared that you'll be drawn to her because she's so beautiful and attractive…""She agreed to it. That's enough," Lucas said indifferently."Can you promi
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 727
Once everyone was given their respective scripts, they each sat in a corner to study their assigned roles, after which they would present their own interpretations to Jay.Zoe sat at the furthest corner, studying her script seriously, but she was also starting to nod off as she did.She swore not to binge on alcohol ever again even if it killed her.To think that she actually brought Cordy and Quinn to the graveyard last night… Was there anything she was not capable of while drunk?!Even as she did her best to stay awake, Candice approached her. "Zoe."She would be in the same group for the next stage, and they had grown closer since they worked together on the last round.It was also common knowledge that every contestant should stay in cliques, even if it was just for appearances, despite the competitive nature of his variety show.Zoe never did, however, because she had not met the rest for that long, and none of the others were willing to hang out with her. Some were even ke
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 728
Everyone rehearsed their roles as Jay instructed, practicing their routes and dialogues before freestyling their respective performances.Zoe was exhausted and therefore constantly distracted, even missing her cues constantly—she did not have that many lines but made a mess of everything.She clearly saw Jay's brow creasing deeply and wondered then if he regretted saving her during the last stage. Hailey arrived for an inspection just then. She had been rehearsing with her group at the next studio, but they could hear her scoldings despite the immaculate soundproofing between studios.The diva was so strict that she would start snapping at anyone mercilessly if they failed to meet her demands.Many who were not chosen for her group were rejoicing in the fact—would they even survive otherwise?In fact, word had it that Hailey left one of her actors breaking down in tears even before they got started.And now, Hailey herself was sitting beside Jay—they were arguing a little ove
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 729
Hailey also realized that she had been overreaching—this was Jay's group, and she had no cause to throw her weight around.Hailey could not help snapping at Zoe given how she was behaving and was surprised that Jay took exception.As such, Hailey came up with an excuse to leave.On the other hand, it was still awkward for Zoe, since Jay did hang her out to dry.He never snapped at people, but his impassive expression could leave one feeling nonexistent.Soon, the first rehearsal was over.Jay did not say much and dismissed everyone for a break before turning toward Zoe. "Come with me."Everyone was throwing Zoe looks of pity right then, and she certainly pitied herself as well.But there was no one out there to save her!She steeled herself as she followed Jay into his VIP lounge, hanging her head as she stood there respectfully like a kid caught doing something naughty.She did not mind appearing pitiful if that could buy her a little sympathy from Jay—when one lived long en
