A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1020

Neither Zoe nor Cora could stop themselves from crying out loud.

However, while Jay was holding Zoe's hand firmly as if he would rather be the one hurting, Bob was staring at their direction too when he heard Zoe's cry.

In fact, his eyes were still fixed on Zoe even though he was standing beside Cora, who kept crying out from the pain.

Eventually, she had enough and called out to him quietly, "Bob."

Bob turned toward her and asked in concern, "Does it hurt? Zoe was screaming murder there."

Cora did not answer, but her gaze darkened further.

After Cora and Zoe's bite wounds were disinfected and bandaged, they were given a rabies shot and admitted for further observation just in case.

If nothing happened, they could return to North City, where they would have another shot to complete the vaccination.

Both Zoe and Cora were staying in VVIP wards, and they did not have to worry about the presence of intruders.

However, there seemed to be distance between Bob and Cora even though they were in the same room.

Bob quietly peeled an apple for Cora, and it was until he was done that he finally spoke. "Here, have some fruit."

"Are you in love with Zoe, Bob?" Cora asked bluntly right then.

While Bob did a double take, she pressed him. "Did you fall for her before you met me?'

"Yeah." Bob did not hide it.

"Then would you date me at all?! What do you take me for?!" she shrieked, suddenly losing control right then.

She had certainly been restraining herself, feeling disgruntled ever since Bob blurted Zoe's name while drunk.

Cora had thought she could bear with it—even pretend that she never noticed.
