A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 821
Clara was even more surprised just then. "Why do you want to call Mr. Parker?"Did Yelena know Jay?"I want to call him," Yelena said, blinking her wide, innocent eyes at Clara. "Can't you help me, Grandma?"Clara certainly could not refuse her adorable granddaughter and did not ask further since she presumed it to be a child's whim.She scrolled through Zoe's contacts and soon found it, then asked Yelena, "Do you want to call him now?""Not now. I'll write down the number for now," Yelena said."Okay," Clara simply thought that the little girl was having fun, as she always did—adults could never understand the games children played anyway.Clara wrote down the number for Yelena on a piece of paper. Yelena happily took it and said, "Thank you, Grandma."Clara patted Yelena's little head, while Yelena slipped the number in her pocket and took Zoe's phone back to Zoe's room. Zoe was still in bed, unable to fall asleep. She saw Yelena gingerly entering, worried about waking her

Clara kept her distance from Yelena, watching as Yelena arrived at the gates of the kindergarten, only turning to leave after seeing Yelena greet the kindergarten teachers.She had left chicken soup simmering on the stove and was not worried since Yelena was with the teachers now. However, she did not stop to check if Yelena actually went inside the kindergarten before going.And Yelena was certainly sharp—once she saw that her grandmother was gone, she quickly told the teachers, "Teacher, I need to tell Grandma something.""Okay, Yelena. Make sure to come back once you're done," the teacher told her mildly.There were many other children arriving just then as well, so she stopped paying attention to Yelena soon.Yelena used the opening to head straight to the main road, hailing a cab—that was what her mommy and grandma always did when they went shopping.One soon stopped beside her, and it took her all her strength to open the door and jump into the car with her little feet be

After hanging up, Yelena's tearful face was quickly replaced by a broad grin.The cabbie could not help smiling when he saw her reaction—children never could hide their delight.At the same time, he could not help wondering whose adorable daughter she was… Any daddy would definitely love to have her.Meanwhile, at the studio, Jay was a little distracted after receiving the call in the middle of rehearsals.He used to be able to stay immune from everything while he directed various projects, but he was spacing out a few times."Mr. Parker?" His assistant prodded him just then.Jay quickly came to his senses and was left staring at Zoe.Zoe frowned—why was he looking at her? She was not messing up.Nonetheless, Jay said, "Keep rehearsing. I'm stepping away for a moment for a little errand—I'll review your performances later."And with that, he left, his cane thudding in his wake.However, the actors were in an uproar after he was gone."What's gotten into the director?" Candic

Yelena's wounded look tenderized Jay's heart, and he asked, "Your name is Yelena?""Yes, Daddy." Yelena quickly nodded."Are you Zoe York's daughter?" Jay's heart was pounding hard even as he asked it.He certainly saw Yelena the other night, recognizing that she was the same girl at that restaurant who kept calling him daddy.Though he appeared nonchalant to see her then, there may well be a maelstrom in his heart.Zoe had a daughter? If so, who was the father?!The thought that he might be left Jay almost overwhelmed, and there were times when he wanted to call Zoe and ask, but he did not know what to say.In fact, the issue had left him troubled the whole of yesterday, only for Yelena to come looking for him.In reality, he more or less had the answer in his mind, but was still nervous about it nonetheless."Yes, Zoe is my mommy." Yelena nodded and noticed the terrible look on his face then. "What's wrong, Daddy?"Jay's heart had started pounding without control, and he

Jay quickly took Clara's number from Yelena's bag and called it. "Hello? I'm Jay Parker.""Mr. Parker?!" Clara was obviously surprised, unsure why he would call her and most importantly, how he had her number."Yelena is with me—""What?!" Clara cried out in agitation before Jay could finish."Please calm down. She's safe with me.""I'm fine, Grandma. I'm with Daddy," Yelena chimed in."Daddy? What daddy?" Clara was even more perplexed."Anyway, Yelena came looking for me, and I agreed to play with her," Jay said. "Don't worry—I'll take good care of her.""O-Okay. Thank you," Clara did not ask further questions, since there would only be more confusion talking through the phone.She would just have to ask Yelena when she returned. "By the way, please don't tell Zoe since she might be busy with rehearsals. I'll bring Yelena home later," Jay added."Okay.""See you," he said and hung up politely. "Are you really spending the day with me, Daddy?" Yelena asked nervously, b

Moreover, it had been several days since Jay had an actual rehearsal with his group of actors, so time was short.And yet, he suddenly just upped and vanished, which left everyone baffled.It only caused further confusion when he asked everyone to rehearse until past 8 PM before leaving.What was this abuse of authority?! The man walked out on them but denied them the chance to slack off too?!Even Zoe, who knew Jay for years, could only say that he was just behaving very weirdly today.But it was not like she could tell what he was intending anyway.- Eventually, it was 7 PM—Jay was ready to send Yelena home after playing with her for an entire day, though not before buying her a grand feast.Yelena was doleful when they returned to the car, however, and she asked Jay, "Can we see each other again, Daddy?""Of course.""When will that be?" Yelena asked."Hmm. I'll be busy the next few days. Once I'm done, I'll come get you, okay?""Okay. I'll be waiting for you, Daddy,"

Yelena nodded tamely. "I'm sure. Mommy told me before."Clara was left utterly baffled right then. What was going on between Jay and Zoe? Zoe must have gotten pregnant here in North City the last time they were here…Forget it.An old woman like her was only too aware that the young people could handle their own issues.All she had to do was raise Yelena well, so that Yelena was pretty and happy every day, and she would be content to no end with that.-Meanwhile, over at the capital, Cordy was having a discussion with Sean about Jesse.Their grandfather was still in ICU and had yet to regain consciousness, but the doctors were hopeful, telling them that they should not give up since he might wake up at the next instant.However, it was still demoralizing that they did not have solid numbers.Still, Sean suddenly asked Cordy, "Why do I have this feeling that you're a little distracted?"Cordy pursed her lips—she certainly was. She must admit that she was thinking about Jo

John looked up at Cordy, and she returned his gaze with a look of apathy. Though they held each other's gaze for just a second, a man as sharp as Sean clearly noticed that something had changed between them.It was certainly a dramatic change in chemistry between those two, especially compared to how they were just days before…"Where are you going?" John asked Cordy just then."Cranston House," Cordy replied, without asking where he went for days and why he was only returning now, or how things were going between him and Nana."I see. You should go," John said.Cordy pursed her lips. She would have told Sean to wait if John had asked her to stay, since Sean's announcement about getting the cops involved could wait. Her presence there was also not necessary either.But he did not ask her to stay…"Okay," Cordy said and left with Richard right then.John watched as she went, his gaze turning dark just then.In the car, Sean could not resist asking, "So… what's the story w
