A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 737
Zoe headed into the washroom, every fiber of her being aggravated.She looked at her reflection in the mirror, which had not much in the way of makeup or jewelry. She did not like putting on makeup personally since she spent so much time on stage with thick makeup, and she therefore preferred a clear face.To be honest, she had no idea why Arthur was interested in her—she was neither the prettiest nor the most talkative actress present.Could it be because she had no influence?Zoe splashed her face with cold water then.She knew all too well that if she spurned Arthur's advances, she would be dismissed by the next stage and had no chance to hope otherwise.After all, showbiz was a web of influence—one misstep and her career would suffer indefinitely.But if she did not reject him… She had a hard time ignoring her conscience. She never thought she would have to assume this path since she started out in showbiz.In the past, she had support and she gained confidence from t

Zoe cut Jay short right then. "Forget it—none of that actually matters now. It's the distant past and I couldn't care less. But understand this: I didn't come back to make you feel guilty or win your sympathy. In fact, I would've rather not shown up around you at all, because all I want is to properly live my life. So, please stay away from me."Zoe shook his hand off as hard as she could.Jay had to stand while leaning on a cane, and her shove left him stumbling a couple steps backward.By the next second, she already stormed off without so much as looking back. Jay's fingers clenched, but he stayed silent.-When Zoe returned to the couch, Arthur was clearly getting a little impatient. Other actors were sitting next to him, having come to toast him, so Zoe sat near the edge.After Arthur was done socializing with them, she finally returned to her seat."What took you so long?" he growled."Just ran into Mr. Parker, and we had a little chat." Zoe casually came up with an e

Zoe stayed silent, though she was already cursing Jay in her head.She was planning to get Arthur completely drunk, but what he said cut off his escape.Nonetheless, Jay suddenly said, "Mr. Rubio, you don't mind me leaving with Zoe, right?'Both Zoe and Arthur were left taken aback, while Jay explained, "Our group still has rehearsals tomorrow, and Zoe's performance would be affected if she gets drunk. In fact, every member of my group would be leaving with me… I'm sure there's no issue with that?"Zoe quietly composed herself, since she was getting agitated.It was fortunate that Jay was taking everyone with him instead of her alone—there would be a lot of explaining to do otherwise. "But isn't this too early? It's not even ten," Arthur quickly said. "Young people normally sleep at midnight these days.""They will be in bad shape when they wake up the next day. Unlike other professions, actors easily get swollen faces, and that would affect their performance on stage.""It's

It was Zoe's own fault that her apartment was furthest from the city.And with the two other actors gone, the car was exceedingly silent."Wipe it," Jay suddenly said and handed her a wet towel. Zoe took it and wiped her lips by instinct, unsure if she had something on it."Your arm," Jay prompted her then.Zoe paused, but soon remembered that Arthur had touched every inch of her arm.Jay was still a clean freak, huh?Still, she wiped her arm without a word, while Jay said, "I don't know what will happen in the future, but as long as I'm involved in this variety show, I can protect you from the casting couch.""Thank you," she replied.Even she had to admit that Arthur would not be coming on to her after tonight, since Jay had assumed all responsibility. Naturally, she also had an excuse against any attempts Arthur would make to harass her.Then, Jay began, "What happened in the past—""Stays in the past, so leave it," Zoe said, cutting him short. "Just forget all that unpl

As Cordy rushed to the airport with Richard, he asked nervously, "Did something bad happen, Mommy?"She never looked this grim."Yeah. Your great-grandfather is ill.""Is it serious?""Yeah."Richard stopped asking at that point, understanding his mother's concerns immediately.Once they touched down at the capital, the car Sean had arranged took her straight to an aristocratic private hospital, where the entire first floor was now completely reserved for Jesse Cranston's use.Sean was waiting just as she got out of the elevator, and she asked, "How is he?""The doctors already operated on him. He's in the ICU now.""The danger has passed?""No. He never regained consciousness, and the doctors said it doesn't look good," Sean said grimly.Cordy did not ask further questions and took Richard with her to the ICU. There were many people crowded outside, with every member of the Cranston family and even some of the Lynds present, including Jean Cranston, Nana, and Lucas.Cord

Lucas was alone, and Nana was not in sight.Richard saw him too, and excitement showed in his eyes. His enthusiasm never dampened whenever he saw Lucas—he did not talk to Lucas earlier at the hospital because the atmosphere there had been grim.However, he refrained from going up to Lucas, and the thought that his daddy had abandoned his mommy made him upset again.Lucas was actually surprised to see them there. Should they not be staying at Cranston House?Cordy was also surprised to see Lucas there, since he should be staying with the Lynds.It was as if they would inevitably run into each other if they were in the same city…"Ms. Sachs?" the front desk receptionist called out to Cordy just then. "Your room card...""I'm checking out," Cordy said determinedly right then. Lucas clearly blinked just then."Checking out, Ms. Sachs?" the receptionist asked, to confirm what she said."Yeah. I'm not staying here," Cordy said bluntly."Oh, alright. One moment please," the r

When Cordy heard Richard's voice, she immediately regained her wits. Her instinct made her exhaust all her strength, so she knew that she must have hurt Richard with her tight embrace. She let go of Richard. When Richard came out of Cordy's arms and turned around, his expression changed drastically. "Lucas!" He screamed in fear. On the other hand, Cordy's heart skipped a beat. The sudden pain filled her with suffocation at that instant. She abruptly turned around and saw Lucas who had collapsed on the ground. At that moment, the motorcycle that had lost control fell to the ground, and the driver fell to the side too. On the other hand, Lucas was crushed by the motorcycle. "Mister, are you okay?" The security guard immediately went to him. Some people also gathered around. Someone said, "It was so dangerous just now. If it wasn't for this man who stepped forward all of a sudden and turned the motorcycle around, countless people might have been hit and hurt." "I

Lucas was only pushed out of the emergency room after two hours. Sitting in a wheelchair, his legs were plastered, and his head was bandaged. It seemed like his injuries were too serious. "How is he, doctor?" Cordy immediately asked. "His right leg is broken, and we've inserted a metal rod in it to stabilize it for two to three months. If there's no problem, he needs to rest for another three months after we take it out. He'll recover by then." "Will he become a lame person?" Cordy asked cautiously. Lucas then looked up at her. Did she want him to become a lame person?"Don't worry. He won't." The doctor sounded amiable before he continued, "But because there's a slight impact on his head, we suggest letting him stay for observation for a night. If he's fine tomorrow, he can be discharged from the hospital." "Okay, thank you, doctor." Cordy thanked the doctor. She finally heaved a huge sigh of relief inwardly. His injuries had something to do with her, no matter wh
