A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1085

Nana could not believe that Lucas Lynch turned out to be John Levine.

But she had to, because that was reality.

Was that why John loved Cordy so much that he could die for her?

"Nana," John said then, "don't waste your time on me. It's not worth getting yourself into trouble because of me."

"Why not? Because you'll never love me?" Nana asked through tears.

"Yes." John nodded without hesitation.

"What if you never knew Cordy? Would you fall for me?" Nana asked meekly.

"Never." John remained resolute. "There's no 'what ifs'. I won't ever fall for any woman other than Cordy."

"But weren't you happy with me before?"

"In retrospect, it was just licking each other's wounds and compromising."

"Lucas!" Nana cried, almost breaking down right then. "Can't you just lie to me once in the end?! Why do you have to be so cruel to me?!"

John simply stayed silent, and Nana was left laughing as her tears gushed.

Yes—his love for Cordy was so sacred that not even death would sully it an inch.

"You're right," she said then. "I don't have to waste time on you since you're ready for the worst. Since you're so eager to die, so be it!"

With that, Nana gritted her teeth and turned to leave.

She had suffered enough pain from him and had no reason to keep humiliating herself.

He never raised her voice with her, let alone lay a finger on her!

"Forget it," Jean said, suddenly stopping Keith. "Whatever has happened has happened, and it's pointless even if you beat her. The most important thing is that the document is still missing…"

Jean was scowling and wheeled on Nana. "You really don't know anything? Don't you know any places he likely hid it?"

"No. He drugged me before bringing me back here," Nana explained. "I don't know a thing when I came back, and when I woke up, Doug was already barging into my room looking for Lucas. After that, he suddenly came back to my room, so I alerted everyone."

Naturally, Nana would never mention that she had a brain fart and allowed John to escape once—she would be dead if she did.

"Doug can speak for me," Nana added.

Doug came forward. "Yes, Ms. Lynd is speaking the truth."

Jean stopped suspecting her at that point.
