All Chapters of A Life Debt Repaid: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Cordy turned toward the voice to find a boy who looked around five years old standing at the door of her ward. He was dressed in a patient's garb like her, and his little face was so beautiful one could not take their eyes off him.At the same time, Cordy's heart skipped a beat. She felt as if she was tugged somewhere in her body, but she could not quite describe it.The boy then ran up to her bed and climbed up to it on his little feet without a pause, snuggling up to her and hugging her with his soft, little body. "Were you bullied, Mommy?"He then released her and carefully wiped her tears with his stubby hands.Cordy realized then that her tears were leaking from sheer frustration, and her heart almost melted from the boy's comfort.Even so, she was still positive that she did not know him.Smiling and tousling the boy's smooth curly hair, she spoke with unexpected mildness. "You have the wrong person, kid.""No, you're my mommy. Daddy and I will protect you from now on." Th

Kyle headed to Sachs Mansion after leaving the hospital, with Simon Sachs asking him urgently, "Did Cordy agree to annul your engagement with her?" Kyle shook his head, his eyes fixed on the adorable yet docile Noel Sachs as he said mildly, "We've broken up. The annulment would just be a matter of time. Sorry to keep you waiting again, Noel.""No, it's alright." Noel shook her head, her eyes twinkling with tenderness. "I'll be happy as long as I'm with you, Kyle."Kyle's heart certainly turned mush from her gentle nature—he was right to choose her!Still, he restrained himself and said, "I was just going to visit Cordy, but she was with another man—that firefighter from last night.""Old habits die hard, huh? You should have dumped her from the start! She doesn't deserve you!" Simon snapped shortly. Kyle nodded—Cordy was certainly too filthy! "Honestly, let's not bother with her already. She can do whatever she likes—I'll just pretend I never had such a shameless daughter!" S

"Of course!" Cordy certainly came to like Richard a lot after spending a week with the boy. "I've left you my number, so call me anytime you miss me. I'll even come to meet you when I'm free.""Liar, liar, pants on fire…" Cordy dropped to a crouch then, which took her considerable exertion.Nearby, the nonexistent man was left frowning as she tenderly tousled Richard's hair from the same height as the latter. "Yes, pants on fire."Richard beamed adorably then and gave her a peck on the cheek.The nonexistent man frowned even harder then."I have to go now," Cordy told Richard with a tender look."Okay, Mommy. Don't run, or you might fall," Richard called after her sweetly—the boy simply refused to stop calling her that even after a week. When Cordy tried to, Richard would become alarmed, thinking that she was abandoning him, his little eyes turning red and welling with tears from misery. It certainly stopped Cordy from being stubborn—the boy would get it when he was older

As John's eyes twitched, Randy continued, "Noel Sachs was supposed to be appointed as CEO, but was left downtrodden after Ms. Sachs crashed her party. I wonder if things would go smoothly for Ms. Sachs after she took over, however, since Simon Sachs and Noel were in charge all this while."Randy then noticed his boss tapping his long fingers on his desk intermittently.Cordy must be special to him, or he would not have risked his life to save her from the fire. However, John had always been distant toward women, but that somehow changed right after he returned to North City.Still, Randy would never dare to pry into his boss's private affairs, and he simply stuck with the man's preferences. "Should I try to smooth things out for her quietly, sir?" John was quiet for a movement. "She went in alone and managed to claim ownership over the entire company. That means she knows what she's doing—that means we should trust her.""Of course, sir," Randy replied respectfully.He thought

"Reserved?" Noel exclaimed in shock. "It's only 6 pm! Has there been a mistake there?""There isn't. I'm afraid I have to ask you to leave.""Why? We haven't finished our food!" Mandy snapped—ever self-important, this naturally left her furious."There's no reason in particular. You're just not welcome in this premises.""Don't you know who I am?!""No, I don't," the waiter replied plainly."You don't know who Mandy is? She's a top star and the heiress to Jessop Ventures." Noel name-dropped beside them."Oh," the waiter said, but he remained cold as ever. "This way please, Ms. Jessop." Mandy and Noel were both left gritting their teeth in rage, but just as they got to their feet to leave, they suddenly saw Cordy sitting at the next table.What was she doing there?!They soon noticed the man and child with Cordy as well.Despite her pride, Mandy was instantly bewitched by John's sheer beauty.She was left wondering when someone that handsome existed in North City—not even t
