A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1090

Sacrifice was not enough to earn one's love, and John had already told Nana before that he did not love her at all.

He was simply incapable of falling in love with a woman other than Cordy.

"Just go," he told her. "I don't want to owe you again."

All Nana found was irony. "You'd rather die than owe me, so that I can't sully your relationship with Cordy?! You're really obsessed, John!"

"I am," John replied bluntly.

Most importantly, Nana was never going to get him out given this situation, nor did he want Nana to die with him.

Nana's eyes were red even as tears streamed down her cheeks. "Don't you regret anything at all, John?"

"I don't."

"Fine."

Nana turned to leave right then—if he did not care, she had no reason to humiliate herself.

She could let him die as he wished!

However, even as broke into a frantic dash out of the basement, she found the manor already engulfed in flames, and there was no exit in sight.

Worst of all, the rest of her family was gone…

-

The skies beyond Lynd Manor were utterly dark as the smoke from the inferno engulfing Lynd Manor grew further out of control.

Sean and his men were putting on their fireproof overalls and were ready to charge inside.

"I'm going!" Cordy cried, determined.

Sean never gave in, let alone hand her one of the overalls.

"Sean, I'm telling you—I'm going in!" Cordy breathed as slowly and clearly as she could.
