A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1074

Nana quickly got out of bed and rushed to the balcony to see Lucas carefully advancing through the balcony, her eyes filled with hatred even as she watched him.

She would have murdered him immediately if she was not so hopelessly in love with him.

What on earth did he take from his family that Doug would go that far?!

And he never answered when she asked him… He just woke her and then quickly left.

Naturally, Nana was well aware that he did that so she would cover for him, and she immediately took off her clothes when she heard Doug at the door.

She bought time for Lucas to run away, which he was doing now without so much as looking back.

If he really got away, she had no idea what would befall her family!

She gritted her teeth and quickly put her clothes on.

John hid himself behind a thicket in the back garden.

He was already prepared to be caught in the act and therefore pinpointed the location of every security camera in Lynd Manor, finding a clear route before leaving.

However, it was impossible for him to get out through the front gates. It would definitely have been locked as more people joined the search for him, and the high-voltage fences surrounding Lynd Manor would definitely be activated by now to stop him from climbing it too.

He was panting slightly—leaving was not going to be easy even if Nana bought him time.

In fact, he was not at all confident that Nana would help him.

It was at the very last second, when Doug and his men charged into the study, that he found the documents he wanted before jumping out of the window and climbing back into Nana's room from the balcony.
