A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1102

"Not really."

"Either way, you don't have to. Just keep me company, and I won't be bored," Patrick smiled.

Cordy did not press the issue. "Alright. We can chat."

"Yeah… About what?" Patrick asked.

"Anything you like," Cordy smiled faintly.

Patrick felt like his heart could melt from her tenderness and suddenly felt the bullet he took was exceedingly worthwhile!

"By the way, did you get John out? Is he alright?" Patrick asked.

Cordy was silent for a while.

"Hold on, you didn't?" Patrick exclaimed in surprise.

Reasonably speaking, Cordy and John would have left Lynd Manor before anyone else—Patrick was in turn delayed because he doubled back to help Sean.

"Sorry, but I lied to you." Cordy apologized sincerely then.

"You mean, you didn't get John out when I called you?"

"I didn't want you to get hurt."

Patrick appeared a little upset at that, so Cordy quickly assured him, "But I'm alright, aren't I? I was just positive I'd give up for my own safety's sake if I couldn't get John out, and I didn't want further trouble like having you come to me."

"Don't do that ever again!" Patrick snapped sternly. "I won't hold this one against you just because you're safe."
