A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 886
Sean was ready to go back to his room, and Patrick was self-conscious enough to stay and take care of Cordy."Patrick," Sean suddenly called out to him."What is it?" Patrick asked.“Where are you staying?”"Here, of course. I'll stay wherever Cordy is, and I can take care of her at night as well. You know she can't move around freely with the state of her legs," Patrick said, as if it was only natural."No, you're staying at a hotel," Sean rebuked him sternly."Look…""It's not up for negotiations.""You just don't want us in the same room, do you?" Patrick growled, a little irritated."Of course. There should be proper social distancing between men and women."Patrick gnashed his teeth in annoyance; although he had yet to earn his title, he wasn’t about to leave the hospital.Making up his mind, he said to Sean, "I'll sleep at your ward."Sean stared at him incredulously, and Patrick flashed an evil grin at the former. "What’s the matter? You're not going to turn me down
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 887
When it was just Nana and John in the ward, she reached out with the intention of taking John's hand into hers.However, he stayed three feet away from her and firmly out of grasp.He gulped, his body instinctively rejecting Nana and his hands unwittingly clenching into knuckles.Nana stared at him in surprise. "Lucas…?"Even if he never got close to her on his own before, he wouldn’t reject her touch either.Now, however, she found him to be a stranger more than ever before as he stood before her.Even now, he looked at her as if he didn’t recognize her."Lucas?" Nana's tears sprang out again, and the heart rate monitor attached to her beeped irregularly in warning as her emotions ran high.Nonetheless, John eventually walked up to her and took her hand. Nana's emotions calmed immediately, her heart rate turning stable in turn.She sobbed in joy, "You're alive, Lucas… I was so scared I won't ever see you again. I can't live without you."Her words were earnest, but John neve

John could’ve stayed indifferent to Nana—if she had never tried to save him with his life. However, if he could stay unmoved when she didn’t hesitate to protect him in the face of a mortal threat, he would be completely inhuman.And yet, saying yes to her also meant abandoning his previous life.Cordy's face appeared in his mind at that very moment; he suddenly felt as if he was stabbed in the chest, unable to breathe.He had regained his memories, suddenly remembering all his past in a split second.It turned out that he really was John Levine, the same man who earnestly loved Cordy to a fault.Alas, when he woke up to that fact, he was already someone else's fiance.-When John and Jessica got on that boat rigged with explosives, he fought back once he ensured that Cordy and Dicky were safe.It turned out that Jessica still had one iota of humanity, despite her terrible cruelty—she didn’t order her bodyguards to die with her, and it was just her and John who got on the boat

John ultimately left Nana's room, but she wasn’t letting go of his hand even in her sleep.He had to firmly pry her fingers off, not caring that he seemed to wake her when doing so.He turned and headed outside, his feet seemingly weighing tons.The last three years suddenly felt like a dream; yet even though he had woken up from it, he was unable to escape.He paused just outside a ward.He had no idea that Cordy was staying in that ward, and was simply taking a stroll on a whim.Yet he ended up here anyway, and he couldn’t leave once he arrived.He stood outside the door, watching as Cordy got out of bed and into the wheelchair beside it.Dicky was just typing the password on his laptop when he heard the commotion. He turned towards her and asked, "Mommy?""I'm fine on my own, don't worry," she told him softly, not noticing the man at the door.She just slept for a while, though that was a lie—too much was weighing on her heart and suffocating her, so she wanted to relax.

John refused. "No, I should go back to my room. The doctor did tell me not to move around too much. I just came to tell you I'm fine, and there's nothing to worry about."Even as he spoke, he started to turn and leave."Lucas," Cordy called out to him just then.John flinched slightly—he knew Cordy was actually aware of who he truly was, because he heard her saying that to him while he was still supposedly unconscious. He recovered quickly because of her voice too, but he was afraid to admit that he had already remembered everything at that instant."Let me see you off," Cordy said, not waiting for John to say no and wheeling herself out to follow.They silently and slowly strolled along the long walkways of the hospital, neither of them speaking.The silence between them was deafening, until they both stopped in front of John's room.John turned towards her, watching her pale cheeks, her body that was covered in bandages, and her scrawny form…He had to work very hard to sup

Cordy suddenly said, "It's alright. You can take your time to consider it. I'm in no hurry."There was a smile on her face, even as she stubbornly restrained the tears in her eyes.She could wait—she wouldn’t mind waiting for a couple of days, as it was nothing compared to the years she waited. She understood John; anyone in his shoes would hesitate.Most importantly, Nana was no pushover; hell, she just might be smarter and more ruthless than Cordy’s sister Noel. Not to mention, Nana was better at manipulating a man's heart.It was only natural she had leverage against John.And with those words, Cordy prepared to turn and leave."Cordy." John suddenly stopped her.Cordy’s heart skipped a beat; suddenly, she was afraid to confront his response.After all, she was merely avoiding the problems when she said she could wait and could afford him time—now, she wasn’t completely confident John would choose her."I'm afraid I’d disappoint you again," John said, his voice clearly re
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 892
At that very moment, Cordy held on tighter to John by instinct, not willing to let him leave and go to Nana's side.John's fingers twitched in turn, naturally sensing the pressure in Cordy’s touch.However, he didn’t push her away.He could never do it."Lucas, we're getting married soon…" Nana's voice remained soft and feeble, as she calmly told them about reality with an expectant look in her eyes.Even so, John refused to go to her.He wanted to stay with Cordy, and love her and her alone for the rest of his life.Be it before and after his amnesia, or after he regained his memories, he only ever loved Cordy.All he felt towards Nana was only responsibility—but at a level that could crush him.Nana, upon seeing that John wasn’t coming over to her, and that he wasn’t pushing Cordy away and was holding her hand firmly, flashed her usual innocent smile; this time, it carried a hint of reluctance.She slowly walked towards John, saying, "It's fine. If you won't come back to me

Certainly, Cordy wouldn’t lay down her life for just about anyone.That was being irresponsible to her own life; plus, she wasn’t despicable enough to threaten someone with her own suicide. "In other words, your feelings for Lucas don't compare to mine!" Nana smiled even broadly, her scorn even more obvious."That's not love—that's selfish obsession. You have no idea what love is.""No! I love Lucas more than anyone else, and I can't live without him," Nana retorted, looking Cordy straight in the eye. "You can still live happily without Lucas, so don't try to take him from me, okay? Spare my life.""Your life is your own and has nothing to do with anyone else's. Don't try to threaten me with emotional blackmail," Cordy said coolly, immune to Nana’s pity party."But I'm not." Nana smiled faintly, turning back to Lucas. "We're just distant relatives and ultimately strangers—how could I threaten you? I'm just threatening Lucas."As John stayed dead silent, Nana pressed, "Let go of
