A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 825
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

However, as a famous lawyer, Sean was far better at verbal sparring. "I'm sorry, Uncle Paul—we happened to run into a traffic jam on the way here. My apology also extends to everyone here, including my family, my cousins and Aunt Demi as well."Since Sean apologized to everyone, Paul could not nitpick even if he wanted to.In fact, if he spoke further now, he would leave the impression that he was petty despite holding seniority.Nonetheless, he asked impatiently, "So what's so important you asked everyone here today? Don't you know that Grandfather needs people around to take care of him?"In reality, everyone in the room knew that Jesse did not need his family around him, when the VVIP's ICU ward had everything he would need."Well, it is quite important," Sean replied just then.He took a seat on the couch, and Cordy followed suit after sending Richard to his room—most of the people involved in this issue were adults, and Richard had no reason to be a part of this.And it cer

Sean whipped out the lab test results on the tea leaves, which clearly stated that the substance it contained could lead to a stroke.Everyone was shocked after they read it."Where did you get this, Sean?!" Even Sean's own father, Liam, was caught in disbelief."We gathered everything in his room and sent them for tests at the lab. The results are trustworthy.""And you're sure Grandfather drank it?" Linus asked."Yes.""What, just because you said so?! Do you even have proof?!" Linus appeared a little unnerved right then."I don't—but I can bring this issue to the cops. They'll find out for sure if there was deliberate harm involved," Sean said slowly and clearly."The cops?!" Paul cried out in agitation before Linus said anything else. "Don't you know how that would affect the family's reputation? Do you want the whole family to find out that there's discord in the family, and that someone among us wants Dad dead?!""What are you getting agitated for?" Sean shot Paul a shar

Sean said evenly, "No, Uncle Paul. You can go about your business now.""Yeah," Paul replied and stormed off angrily, his family quickly following.Calmness returned to Cranston Hall right then, while Sean turned to Cordy. "You should stay here for the night. There are not that many outsiders right now, and I can myself testify that my own parents are nice—they never did like power struggles and the like. Fred is away enjoying life with his girlfriend, while my wife is visiting her parents with our kid. There are just a few of us in Cranston Hall, so it'd be nice if you stayed with us instead of staying at the hotel."Cordy sighed—there were times when she just could not turn down Sean, and it was not as if she could not feel that Sean had been sincerely nice to her.Even so… Well, she had to admit that she wanted to go back to the hotel for John.Whatever it was that had happened, she would like to clear the air with John."… Very well."Seeing that Cordy was not responding,

Richard was stunned when he turned to look at his mother.Her eyes were so red… Was she crying?Nonetheless, Cordy's phone started to ring just then, and Cordy blinked back her tears. Seeing the caller, she answered it. "What is it, Patrick?""Are you in the capital at the moment? Could you come get me at the airport? I lost all my identification and luggage, and I have nowhere to go."Patrick actually sounded hysterical. Still, Cordy frowned. "What are you doing here?""You're here, aren't you? Wherever you go, I'll be there."While Cordy was speechless, he quickly said, "Alright, let's save the banter. Just come to the airport—I'm waiting."Cordy sighed lengthily, but she ultimately took a cab and headed to the airport with Richard to get Patrick.Soon, when they were all in the cab, a speechless Cordy asked, "How did you lose everything?"Even Patrick was speechless as he explained, "I left my luggage at Rocktown Airport and forgot to check it in.
