A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 997
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

Both Patrick and Sean were in the ward with Cordy, with Patrick peeling an apple for Cordy and proving too inexperienced, and ended up making a huge mess.Sean mocked Patrick for it, but he appeared unconcerned despite retorting, "This is my labor of love, performed with my very own hands. No matter how bad it looks, it’d still taste sweet. Right, Cordy?"Cordy never answered, for she was staring at John, who stood at the doorway.Sean told her before that his injuries were far worse than hers, so why was he walking around freely when she was still bedridden?Patrick appeared upset the instant he saw John, however, and demanded, "What are you doing here?""I came to visit Cordy.""That's unnecessary. Just worry about getting better yourself. Why bother about what others are doing?" Patrick retorted, looking utterly possessive.John glanced at Cordy, but she didn’t respond.Meanwhile, Patrick was done peeling the apple and sliced it into little pieces, and fed her with little fo

John pursed his lips and said slowly, "I just wanted to check on you, see how you're recovering.""I'm doing well," Cordy replied. "I can be discharged tomorrow, if nothing else happens."Silence ensued after she answered, until Cordy asked again, "How are you doing?""I'm fine.""Nana isn't around today?""No.""I thought she's with you 24/7.""She went home. There seemed to be something back home.""So why are you here?" Cordy asked again.Her patience was almost used up, and she had kept trying to make John talk just to make him open up.However, he ultimately lost."I'm starting to regret it now…" John finally said, his voice exceedingly quiet.Cordy stared at him, unable to understand what he meant."Regret pushing you away," he added.Cordy laughed despite herself. She really was infuriated—what did John take her for, a door to open and close as he liked?"I'm sorry," John apologized. "I thought I could persevere until I resolved everything and return to your sid

John was silent; suddenly, he didn’t know how to explain himself."It should’ve been a while ago, no? At least, before we went to that beach,” Cordy said.She found it ironic as she recalled it now.To think she did so much to make him remember their past.She even prostrated herself, prepared a paternity test, and used his identity to make him take responsibility for Dicky.But in the end, he had always known.The entire time, she was just making a fool of himself. "I just—""I'm sorry, but I don't want your explanation," Cordy said, cutting him short. "It won't do anything aside from adding to my troubles."As John stared at Cordy, she continued, "To make myself clearer, I will cut ties with you no matter what you say now. I refuse to suffer emotional blackmail."There was a hint of misery in John's eyes, but he nodded silently.Yes; she would always be that rational, and nothing could change anything she decided on.He was the one who thought that he could still be with

To be honest, Patrick was ready for the worst-case scenario when he left with Sean.John did save Cordy with his life, and if he asked, there was every chance Cordy would break down and throw herself into his arms.Thus, Patrick was surprised Cordy was so determined to reject John. In fact, she refused to listen to any of John's explanations and remained determined to reject his advances even after he admitted that he had regained his memories. Did she not love him anymore? Or did she love him too much and was afraid to get hurt again?At the same time, Cordy wiped away her tears ever so subtly.There was just no controlling it when your heart hurt so much.However, she will slowly change that from now on, and slowly forget how she felt towards John Levine."I'm sorry," she suddenly told Patrick.Patrick's heart skipped an anxious beat.She obviously rejected John just now, but was she already regretting it?Did that mean his happiness only lasted for…minutes?He stared at

Patrick had more to say, but then Cordy deliberately provoked him, "So, you want John to have me instead? Is that it?"Patrick promptly snapped in agitation. "No! Of course not!"Cordy smiled—she certainly understood that.However, Patrick was just too good to her. He was always putting her first before all else, and was especially worried that she would be hurt."I want to be with you forever," Patrick said as he reached out, clearly unable to resist taking her hand. However, perhaps embarrassed for some reason or another, he couldn’t actually touch her. Cordy actually found that she couldn’t stand it. Was he embarrassed?Come to think of it, it was understandable since this was the first time he was dating a woman.As such, Cordy reached out to take his hand instead.Patrick looked at her in surprise; the next instant, he took her dainty hand firmly in his and didn’t let go, as if afraid someone would take her away.At that, Sean left quietly—he was a third wheel, anyway.
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1004
Sean had to wonder—should he trust John? What if this was all just a trap? There was no question that John had the strength to destroy the Cranstons!Nonetheless, John made his intentions clear right then and there. "Nana’s merely a chess piece. The Lynds would never consider themselves as one of them without her. If I wasn’t amongst them, I wouldn't have leverage for a partnership…"He trailed off for a moment as he saw Sean raising a brow, and said, "Fine. I'll admit, it didn’t cross my mind before that I should work with you. I was intent on destroying the Lynds as I did with the Stuarts with my own strength. However, I didn’t know that the Lynds were your enemies at first. To top it off, they were your relatives. I'd never have partnered with you under such circumstances, let alone make Cordy hate me because I messed with the Lynds.""So you're pleased that they moved against us," Sean said, appearing composed but ruffled inside.John was going to destroy the Lynds on his own
