A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 991
John never slowed down—hesitation was pointless at this moment. With the fire getting from bad to worse, the Cranstons would all have a hard time leaving without rescue.And since the Lynds had gone so far to set this all up, they would definitely have been prepared for all contingencies—help would never reach them in time."Cordy!" John yelled.Cordy was taken aback.To be honest, she already lost hope when she picked up the scent of the swirling smoke while still trapped inside.She simply found no chances of escape, even if she never gave up.That was when he heard the voice—it was neither Parick nor Sean as she expected, but whoever it was, she had hope now!And so, she quickly replied, "I'm in here!"However, before she answered, John had already noticed that one of the toilet cubicles was locked from the outside.Someone had obviously trapped Cordy inside, and John instantly could tell who it was.But now wasn’t the time for that—the priority was to get Cordy out!"S

The Lynds definitely would’ve come up with a plan to trap the Cranstons in the fire, and Cordy must acknowledge their cunning wit to cover up their conspiracy with an accident.Neither Sean nor Cordy would’ve expected them to go all out like this, even though they have prepared themselves for the danger they knew they would face when they came here.Nonetheless, Cordy gritted her teeth in determination—now was not the time to worry about others, not when she had no idea if she was going to make it out herself.With the path ahead blocked by the inferno, neither John nor herself could go anywhere.Coupled with the ever-growing fire, they would either suffocate from the smoke or be burnt to death.But just as Cordy hesitated, John said determinedly, "Let's make a run for it."She turned and gave him a look, he assured her, "Our clothes are wet. It won't burn."As Cordy bit her lip, he added, "Keep your head under my jacket. I'll lead you."And with that, John held her hand with g

It took John considerable effort to open his eyes.The pain that caught him off guard just now stopped short of knocking him out, and he had to use every bit of strength to retain his consciousness.After all, what would happen to Cordy if he blacked out? Gritting his teeth, he used all his strength to pick up the wet fabric Cordy dropped on the floor, holding it against her nose. Cordy's heart skipped a beat—he was hurt, but the first thing he did once he reimagined consciousness was to protect her.She had been so scared that she forgot to pick up the wet fabric after she dropped it, along with the fact that she could die from inhaling too much smoke as well.Her eyes were red. Then, she heard John rasping, "You have to always take care of yourself…"And yet, he didn’t do the same when danger struck just now.In fact, she clearly felt him pushing her out of harm's way so that the chandelier only struck his back and not her.Cordy bit her lip, awash with a mess of emotions.

"Let me down…" Cordy tried to reason with John. "We don't have to die together.""No one's dying," John told her in no uncertain terms. "I saved you once before. I can do it again."Cordy had more to say, but he snapped, "Don't say anything. Save your strength—we’ll survive this."And with those words, she could clearly feel his footsteps picking up pace.She closed her eyes, and stayed silent.She had already troubled him far too much—she really shouldn’t keep dragging him down.And with that, John carried her on piggyback as he charged towards the entrance.Cordy felt her body aching all over, but clenched her teeth to stop herself from crying out loud. She leaned over John's back, hearing his rushed breathing.There were a few times when he seemed to stumble, but he picked himself up again right after.He never wasted a single second.Cordy was almost fainting amidst the fire and smoke, but he still carried her and hurried forward.Just as she was about to lose consciousn

"I've already sent my people in to save Cordy."Patrick turned towards Sean, noticing the repressed panic in the latter’s voice."You're just going to kill yourself if you go in," Sean added firmly.Patrick clenched his teeth, but there was no doubt that he was always messing up when Sean was around.That, and Sean would definitely care about Cordy since they were cousins who were more akin siblings.But while Sean was always calm and composed in the face of trouble, Patrick only ever seemed to cause trouble."Calm down," Sean assured him. "Cordy is going to be safe."Patrick glanced at Sean, feeling a tinge of comfort for some reason—as if he knew Sean meant it and would save Cordy.He had no idea when, but he seemed to have gained a sense of trust toward Sean even though he couldn’t stand the man. After all, Sean was too cunning and kept everything close to his chest; as such, one shouldn’t get too close to him.Nonetheless, they both waited anxiously outside for the rescu

To be honest, Patrick was just so paranoid that he feared the worst would befall Cordy.Seemingly reading his mind, Sean said, "I think I'll wait until Cordy comes out."Patrick nodded in silence—Cordy was just as important to Sean, and Sean would be worried about leaving too…Silence ensued in the walkway, and there was no telling how long had passed.Waiting was like being in hell—every passing second was grilling.Nonetheless, the door to the emergency soon opened, and the doctor stepped out.Patrick and Sean hurried towards him, and he said, "There's no cause for worry—the patient isn’t in mortal danger, and was only comatose due to lowered blood oxygen saturation levels caused by excessive smoke inhalation. We have since treated her for that, and she’s once again conscious. However, her respiratory system suffered serious damage and she has burns all over her body, so she has to be admitted for further therapy and recovery. If you're her family, you should get the paperwork

That tone of his… Why did Patrick sound like a pouting lover?Still, Cordy didn’t dwell on it and simply assumed that there was less hostility between Patrick and Sean just then.Nonetheless, Sean seemed to not care about Patrick's outburst. In fact, he was calm, as if used to the latter’s petty temper and almost tolerating it. "I was checking in on John," he replied casually.Patirck's face dropped, as if he only remembered at that instant that John and Cordy were rescued together from the fire.John had left the banquet hall early on, but ultimately ended up being found with Cordy.That could only mean John returned later to save Cordy.Patrick certainly felt a little upset that John got to be the hero who saved the damsel in distress. However, neither Cordy nor Sean paid Patrick any attention as various expressions alternated obviously over his face, with various thoughts crossing his mind.Cordy was staring at Sean, clearly eager to know more.In fact, she already wante

There was no doubt about what happened back in the banquet hall. With that, Sean continued, "That's why I didn’t stop to gather more proof, and instead called in our people who had been working in the banquet hall undercover to get us out right away. We moved so quickly we were already safely outside before the Lynds could stop us. They had to give up, or they'd be exposed. I then arranged for 'Grandfather' to be taken home, though I soon noticed that you were not around and quickly sent help."Cordy's eyes flashed with anger—there was no question about it now. She wasn’t in the list of people that the Lynds wanted dead, and one could even say that they only wanted Jesse Cranston dead. However, while they wouldn’t go out of their way to target any other individuals, they would welcome the prospect of killing any other Cranston along with Jesse.It was only Nana who wanted Cordy dead. "Just rest," Sean told Cordy. "There's still much to discuss after this. For one, I don't get why
