A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 784
Bob said, "That depends on you. You're the public figure—we just have to find a date that’s most convenient for you.""You're that reluctant to marry me, huh?" Cora asked.Bob's fingers clenched on his steering wheel, but his tone remained exceedingly relaxed. "I mean, we could just get our marriage registered right now."Cora laughed in amusement. "I mean, it's just that… You respect me too much every time. I know you're doing it for my sake, but I have this nagging feeling you're not proactive enough.""I'm not worried about the hassle. Let me put it this way—I can hold a grand wedding and make babies for you here and now, so what say you?""Bob!" Cora blushed from his teasing. "My uncle's here.""Just pretend I'm not here," Jay said. "I'll get off if you want to start making babies right then.""You too?!" Cora pouted.The atmosphere in the car returned to normal soon enough, though Bob and Jay traded discreet glances.Words were not needed when it came to a great many thin

Cora was surprised by the question posed by her mother to her uncle.What relationship was she talking about? It didn’t sound like Nancy was referring to their past familial bond… Cora did a double take at the thought. No way! Was Jay in love with Zoe?! "That's my personal life. You need not meddle," Jay retorted coolly."I'm your sister, Jay!" Nancy was livid. "Everyone else in the family is gone, and there’s just a few of us left. If we don't stick with each other, we’ll scatter.""Sticking together isn't dependent on meddling with each other's lives. Caring is plenty enough.""So you're saying that I'm prying?" Nancy growled. "Do you think I'd care about you if my father didn't tell me to take care of you before he died? You know how upstanding I am, and how hard it was to convince myself to accept you! It was hard for me to set aside a portion of the family fortune for you!""But I don't need a cent of the family fortune," Jay replied determinedly. "I won't show up eve

Bob quickly rose from the couch and hurried after Jay. "I'll talk to him."Cora tried to speak, but ultimately chose to stay silent.For some reason, she had this nagging feeling that Bob was more concerned about those around her than her.-Bob gave Jay a ride home, and the journey was quiet until Bob broke the silence. "Zoe said neither of you made up when I took her home.""Yeah," Jay replied."If that's so, why did you argue with Nancy like that?" Bob asked, finding Jay behavior unlike him since he never bares his emotions like this."Do you think she's been fair to Zoe?" Jay asked Bob."Not at all.""And I've been holding back for a while.""But from Nancy's perspective…" Bob trailed off, and chuckled slyly. "Fine, that felt good. I've been holding back for a while, too. Sure, she was a victim, but isn't Zoe a victim too? But she had to slam all her pain on Zoe—I would’ve turned against her if she wasn't an elder!”"Yeah," Jay replied flatly, staring outside the window

The interior of the car grew silent, as Jay didn’t say a word.Bob couldn’t make him confess, and since it might be something he could not say, he understood that he shouldn’t push Jay too far since they were as close as brothers.Sighing, he finally said, "Whatever it is, she's back. It's time you take control. Life is short—miss out once, and it might be forever."Jay finally spoke. "Do you think I still deserve her?""Wait, you don't think so?""I'm a cripple with one leg," Jay said, sounding slightly emotional. "Please don't tell me that's why you never went looking for her over the past three years…"Jay nodded in silence. "Do you think Zoe’s that shallow?" Bob exclaimed in slight agitation, but he soon added, "Now that you mentioned it, she actually didn’t know your leg was permanently crippled when we spoke today. She thought it's a temporary thing."Jay's fingers clenched without realizing it, while Bob quickly explained, "She wasn’t actually repulsed—just surprised.

Jay ultimately lowered his phone.He should wait a little longer—he didn’t want to bother her life out of the blue.-Meanwhile, Jesse Cranston had yet to wake up at the capital.The foreign experts were saying that there was a chance he would end up in a vegetative state, but it wasn’t the time to give up since there was still hope to save him. Cordy brought Dicky to visit, changing into scrubs before entering the cleanroom. Jesse slept so peacefully, Cordy would think he was napping if not for all the tubes stuck into him."The doctors told me to talk to you more, and you might just wake up," Cordy said, choking back tears.She had always considered herself someone who could control her own emotions well, and had been calm on the way here.The instant she spoke, however, her tears were already flowing freely.After all, she had gone through too much death—too many of her loved ones had departed.Her mother, the love of her life…and now, her grandfather too?After a long

Sean said a little feebly, "Either way, that means we can't work on Steven.""That's not set in stone," Cordy argued. "Even if we can't get anything on his accounts, we can keep tabs on his whereabouts. There’s no doubt the mysterious person would contact Steven again. Personally, I don't think a lawyer would take up such a huge risk just for money. He must have a stake in terms of sentiment as well. It’s generally how most people are blinded, especially with money being icing on the cake.""Alright." Sean agreed to the plan without hesitation. "I'll arrange for my people to keep an eye on him in secret, and I’ll also look into his social circles to see if we can find any clues.""Right." Cordy nodded. "Well, I actually have a cruder and more violent idea.""I expect it to be violent, but not cruder." Sean chuckled—Cordy was as calm as she was meticulous, and any ideas she had would have been thought through thoroughly. "Get the cops involved," Cordy revealed her plan without a

Dicky was actually a little surprised—his daddy used to consider him nothing but a brat, but the man now treated him like an equal.He had wanted to win his father’s acknowledgment for a while, but his daddy was just too formidable. Thus, he couldn’t do much.However, the one thing he might be better than his daddy was in making his mommy happy."What do you think?" Lucas replied, as if it was only natural. "Okay. I’ll come by later.""Sure."And with that, they agreed to meet. Meanwhile, Cordy didn’t even get a word in.In fact, Dicky couldn’t wait to leave. "Mommy, I want to go play with Lucas!""I'm worried about leaving you alone with a stranger," Cordy said, finally getting a reasonable excuse."Lucas isn't a stranger—he's Daddy," Dicky said with conviction.Cordy kept staring at him in silence, and he gave in. "Fine, he's not at the moment. But he's no stranger either—we've met many times.""Do you know this is how human traffickers kidnap children?'Dicky was a litt

When Cordy tapped into the camera, she never expected to see Dicky helping Lucas shower.Her eyes were burning from the not-quite family-friendly scene. And what does Lucas take her son for, ordering him around like that?!Cordy was reeling from rage, even as the scene of the screen left her flushing. How could that man be so shameless?Cordy promptly turned off the screen, but not before having a clear view of the scene before her.It therefore remained clear and stuck in her mind…Hold on.Cordy's eyes narrowed, and her cheeks which reddened from anger and embarrassment slowly turned pale.She remembered Lucas's appearance, and felt a pang of familiarity.Her hands were shaking as she turned on the camera again, but Lucas had already changed into a bathrobe and Dicky was helping him out of the bathroom.Cordy's heart was racing, as she felt skeptical and was afraid of holding any expectations. She feared she couldn’t suffer the pain of disappointment.And yet… Was the
