All Chapters of A Life Debt Repaid: Chapter 391 - Chapter 400

Fortunately, Jay only had flesh wounds. The car was stopped in time, and the collision was slight. He had bled a lot on the ground, but his vitals were fine. However, his doctor insisted he stay the night at the hospital for observation.Having issued his instructions, the doctor left, leaving just Jay and Zoe alone.Zoe placed all the bills, papers and medication on top of his bedside drawer, saying, "These are your receipts for admittance, and some of the medicine you need to take and apply. Also, your phone’s broken." Jay stared at her then, with a distant and estranged gaze."Do you want to borrow my phone to call the Levines?" Zoe asked, holding out her phone to him."No," he said, shaking his head.Zoe didn’t push him either, since he never liked to bother the Levines. After all, he had to keep up his appearance to not cause them trouble. "Do you need a care worker?" Zoe asked.Jay refused. "No. It's not that serious.""Okay," Zoe nodded. "I'm leaving if there's noth

"Why?" Cordy asked, working hard to keep herself calm."I'll explain when I get back," John replied. "Are you going to announce your wedding date?" Cordy asked bluntly. John was left silent for heartbeats, while Cordy made herself very clear. "It's already expected. It doesn't affect me at all.""That's not all—""You're scarily selfish, John," she said, putting weight behind every word.John felt suffocated right then.At the same time, Cordy continued, "Whether this marriage is by your will or otherwise, Jessica Stuart considers you her partner now. It’s a legitimate relationship, so why would you keep clinging to me? Is this fair to her? Sure, I'm not that much of a saint to sympathize with someone who wants me dead, but it still disgusts me how irresponsible you can be—to her and to me.""I will never marry Jessica Stuart," John repeated, his tone somber and obviously repressing his rage. "That's your business," Cordy snapped, losing control as well. "You can do whateve

Cordy didn’t chase Jay away after lunch, nor did he volunteer to leave.He stayed on the couch, watching the television while Cordy worked in her study.It was an amicable sight, though Jay had been yawning many times as he sat on the couch.He would never admit to himself that he had been losing sleep, even going sleepless on occasion.Still, he shouldn’t be this sleepy…Deciding that television might be too boring, he whipped out his phone to browse through videos and news articles, which were all obsessing over the Stuarts' charity ball tonight.Even as he browsed through everything, Jay's eyelid was drooping; he soon fell asleep with his phone still in his hand. Cordy stepped out of her study and watched as Jay lay on the couch, his breathing turning rhythmic.She had spiked his pasta with sleeping pills—she had some ready in her house, since she lost sleep on occasion too.Still, the pills worked faster than she had expected. She had been under the impression that it wou

Many people were gathered outside the Stuarts' charity ball even before the main event; there were countless scores of journalists, fans, spectators, and security personnel.It was a grand sight that could beat any celebrity gala. Soon, a black Rolls Roys stopped at the edge of the red carpet. Inside, Patrick was watching Cordy, who sat beside him.He was with her as she got changed after they left the hospital, and she was breathtaking in that emerald gown—no man could resist staring.And yet, Patrick wasn’t any man—he showed focus, and remained respectfully distant with Cordy. "Shall we?" he asked.Cordy pursed her lips, a little emotional.She came, pulling every trick in her book in doing so, even though John did all he could to stop her.She had no idea how he would react when he saw her…but she was not obliged to care, either. "Okay," she said confidently, looking up at Patrick.A faint light shone over her black eyes; they dazzled like the stars, leaving Patrick mes

Noel was attending the charity ball too, but as board chairwoman of Sachs Enterprises. Sachs Enterprises would never make the list of the Stuarts' grandest annual charity ball, and it was Jessica who had personally extended an invitation to Noel. Jessica said that since they were partners, she should give Noel more opportunities if it was within her abilities.Noel was beside herself with joy, and went out of her way to brag in front of her family. After all, she was no longer staying at the family's mansion, having bought herself another that was much grander than theirs.Still, Sue met her in private. She appeared to be happy for Noel, saying that she and Noel could finally hold their own in the Sachs family. She also added that Plum had been kept miserably in house arrest at the mansion by Simon himself. Despite all her fawning, it was clear Sue wanted to win Noel over and take a cut of the Sachs's family estate. However, Noel was no pushover. She grew up watching Sue, and kne
