A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1018

Cora said, "Me too."

But in reality, she knew all her vegetables.

She was the one who lived with Clara as a child and went through all manner of sufferings, from washing clothes by hand to cooking.

It hurt her to think of her painful childhood in contrast to Zoe's.

However, she forced herself not to show it.

Nonetheless, as they strode along the farm together, they were startled to find something dashing through the fields.

It was a huge black dog, and it was running straight for them!

"Argh!"

Both Zoe and Cora screamed—what was that thing doing there?!

And it had a beastly look on its face, like it was going to bite someone!

Both Zoe and Cora felt as if their souls left them.

The production crew also reacted too late—before they could jump in, the dog had already leapt toward Zoe and Cora, knocking them to the ground!

"Help!!!" Cora shrieked as the dog towered over her.

Zoe was on the ground as well, but the dog obviously was not aiming for her.

Just as it was to bring its jaws down on her, Zoe reached out by reflex to push it away and tried to pull Cora away from her.

However, the dog suddenly turned and bit her hand in a split second—Zoe did not even have the time to feel pain when the dog was done with her and bit Cora on the arm too!

She bit her lip, an irrepressible emotion flooding her just then.

"I'm fine. It just bit me on the hand, but I think it bit Cora on the arm," Zoe told Bob.

Bob seemed to only remember then that Cora was bit too, and he stiffened when he realized that.

Blinking, he turned to look at Cora and did his best to act as if nothing happened. "I only received word that Zoe was hurt. Were you hurt too? Where?"

Cora certainly knew that she must never lose control with so many people and cameras around.

Forcing a smile, she said, "It doesn't hurt, but it was scary."

Even so, the seeds of hatred were buried deep within her heart now.
