A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1067

Patrick was stunned for a long while before he finally mumbled, "Can't you just comply with Sean's wishes?"

Cordy was surprised to hear that. "Since when did you begin standing on Sean's side?"

Patrick paused for a moment before asking her back, "Did I?"

"Didn't you just do so?"

"I just think that Sean's considerations are legitimate. If what he's doing is dangerous, why aren't you avoiding it?"

"If I'm afraid of danger, won't they be too?" Cordy said with exasperation in her voice, "Why can't we face whatever comes together?"

"Perhaps Sean thinks that he can handle it alone."

"If he thought he could, he wouldn't have kidnapped me."

Patrick was at a loss for words. He suddenly said tentatively, "Is it possible that it might not be Sean who kidnapped us? Even if you refuse to listen to him, he just needs to lock you up and there's no need for him to resort to such means."

"The reason is simple. Sean doesn't want me to be angry. He clearly knows that I'll hate him for life if he blatantly locks me up. He's doing things this way so he would be above suspicion."

"Fine." Patrick decided to stop doubting.

He did not really doubt Cordy's guess, but he just did not want Cordy risking her life, so he deliberately cast doubt over the possibility.

Clearly, he had no way of convincing Cordy.

She was smart and logical.

"Now we should think of a way to escape," Cordy said solemnly.

"Are you sure about this?"

"We must go out and take a look. I'm really worried something bad might happen."

"Okay," Patrick responded.

Silence ensued between the both of them as they were both deep in thought about how to escape from this place.

Back in the capital, sleep evaded Nana the entire night.

She glared at the messages in her phone, which told of how Cordy could not be found even until now.

Why did that woman suddenly disappear into thin air?!

A sound came from outside the room.

Nana pulled off her sheets and got out of bed.

She knew that Lucas was awake.
