A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 899
The next day, when Sean arrived at Cordy's room alone, she asked, "Where's Patrick?"He hadn’t shown up after he left her room last night, which was definitely not his style.Even if Patrick knew that John was alive, he had no reason to avoid her."He's asleep.""Is he sick?""No, just drunk."As Cordy stared at Sean, he shrugged. "I saw that he was taking it very hard, and I bought him a drink. After that, he's out like a light even until now, so I didn't wake him. I can get him if you want him for something.""No, it's fine," Cordy said quickly, since she was just asking.However, she was still staring fixedly at Sean.He simply returned her gaze and asked, "What?""You care a lot about him," she said, knowing that Sean wasn’t one who meddled in the affairs of others."I mean, he’s family now," Sean smiled faintly.Cordy, however, thought that might not be the case. Not to mention, Sean had clear dark circles under his eyes; he clearly didn’t sleep well last night.Maybe

Sean understood that Cordy was emotionally distant towards everyone in the family, and therefore treated everyone with indifference.That applied to him as well, even though he was always around her."Are you recognizing me as family now?" he asked calmly after a while."I always did.""And you're only showing it now?""I just didn't want you to get ahead of yourself," Cordy retorted. Sean smiled—mushy words were unnecessary for them, or it would make things more awkward instead. "Just focus on getting better for now," he told her. "Health is vital for everything, whether it's to deal with John or family troubles.""The same goes for you." Cordy nodded, when something occurred to her. "Right. If Patrick does wake up, tell him to come over. I need to clear the air with him…""I'm here," Patrick suddenly spoke from the doorway.As both Cordy and Sean turned towards him, he shrugged. "I didn't expect that I’d actually sleep in. And I wasn't eavesdropping either, until the last

A couple of days later, Sean summoned Cordy to Jesse's ICU unit.To be precise, every Cranston was summoned, but everyone else was kept waiting outside.Cordy entered the ward with Sean, while the rest of the family watched from the window.They could clearly see Jesse sitting up, but he kept his back towards them, giving them just a glimpse of his face, but nothing complete.And because it was Jesse, no one dared to get pushy.Sean was certainly smart—with this, no one would suspect if the man in the ward was actually Jesse. He resembled Jesse from that angle, and that was enough.Cordy played along with Sean's plan, and spoke with the fake Jesse in the ICU unit with a somber look.After half an hour, Sean and Cordy both stepped outside, while Jesse appeared tired and reclined on his bed, looking like he had fallen asleep again.Once Sean and Cordy were out, the other Cranstons quickly surrounded them."How’s Dad doing? What did he tell you?" Paul asked eagerly.Sean kept a

Paul growled, "What gives you the right—""Have you forgotten that Grandfather was poisoned, and that his condition was no accident?" Sean replied. "He’s very likely among us, which was why Grandfather also made it very clear he isn't seeing anyone before we find the culprit."Paul was incensed. "What, are you suspecting me now?!" "I would never," Sean replied reasonably. "But if you have nothing to worry about, why incur Grandfather's wrath? It's not too late to see him once the truth is out."Paul was still scowling, but after Sean had put it that way, he would be the one who had more to lose if he forced his way inside.It was obvious Jesse was refusing to see Paul and everyone else because he didn’t trust them, and charging inside would only hurt Jesse's impression of Paul further.As such, Paul restrained himself and stayed silent.The rest of the family naturally had even less reason to speak up.Sean repeated, "Grandfather just made it very clear that everyone should go

Sean stared at Cordy, who remained perfectly composed as she said determinedly, "I'm not giving up."Sean gave in. "Do you want me to come along?" "No." Cordy smiled. "You'd just get in the way."Sean scowled. "What are you up to?" "That's a quick change in attitude.""Don't get off the reservation, Cordy.""What reservation? We already have a kid… Fine." Cordy had to agree immediately when she saw the scowl on Sean's face, but what was he getting upset about? It was not as if he was marrying her off…She then added, "Keep Dicky company while I'm away.""Neglecting your son, are you?" Sean growled in annoyance."I'm all for Mommy's plan," Dicky chimed in.Cordy smiled, and wheeled herself out of the room. The moment she turned away, she no longer appeared as bright and cheery as she had been just now.After all, she had no idea how she should act around John, who now had another woman.She couldn’t even imagine how she would react if Nana was getting intimate with Joh
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 904
In the end, Cordy had enough of reading the news and lowered her phone, only to find him standing by the door.John came to his senses at that very moment, his expression turning cold immediately. Cordy frowned, sensing that John was deliberately keeping her distance. However, she ignored that completely. She actually smiled at him. "You're back.""What's the matter?" John asked coolly."Do I need a reason to come to you?"John stared at her in return, but he was unable to tell her “We shouldn't be seeing each other,” and decided against chasing her off even though he couldn’t be at her side."Shouldn't I thank you for saving me?" Cordy asked."You don't have to," John replied. "It's nothing much, and anyone would do the same given the situation.""But Nana just stood by and watched," Cordy immediately deflected his argument.John stayed silent and didn’t argue—perhaps he was unwilling to do so, since he would rather Cordy stay with him."You're not going to ask how I'm go
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 905
John was certainly pushing the limit of his restraint. After all, the woman of his dreams was standing before him.He never expected that she would declare her love for him so openly, or go this far for him.There was a split second when he wanted to drop all pretenses and gather her firmly in his arms, never letting her go ever again.However, he had learned his lesson—he refused to take risks after the mess with Jessica in the past, and he wouldn’t joke around when Cordy and Dicky's lives were on the line.Nana would only become more radical than Jessica. As such, he ultimately chose indifference. "Nana saved me. I can't abandon her."Cordy felt her chest covered in pain.Her heart couldn’t accept it, even if she knew that John was cold to her because he did not remember that past."You won't be happy if you keep holding on to what you owe her, instead of love," she told him. "The distance between you and her would only grow further, and staying with her would only hurt b
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 906
The reason Cordy deliberately tripped herself in John's ward was because she was convinced John wouldn’t ignore her.Even John had to give it to her that she was getting despicable, playing dirty tricks on her way to winning in a relationship.As such, when he was going to help her up by instinct, he abruptly withdrew his hand.Cordy simply lay pathetically on the floor, until she looked up to find the cold expression on his face."I'll get a care worker if you can't get yourself up," John said coolly."Can't you help me?" Cordy asked, withholding her pain."Social distancing.""You're saving yourself for Nana?" Cordy scoffed."I cheated in my mind before. Not doing that ever again.""Haha!" Cordy laughed with great irony and misery. The love of her life was distancing herself for the sake of another woman.She gritted her teeth and pushed herself up—no pretenses this time.However, she still looked a complete mess. Both her hands didn’t have the strength to push herself u
