A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1105

Sean left John's ICU ward for the day and headed to Patrick's room, where Cordy was feeding him apples.

He had a blissful, goofy smile on his face as he stared at Cordy, and Sean in turn smiled slightly, seemingly in blessing.

As he entered, both of them turned toward him, with Cordy asking casually, "Is Dicky heading home?"

She was naturally aware why Richard was frequently coming to the hospital.

"Yeah, I told him to head back to Cranston Hall—there's a limit to visiting hours, and he'd be idling staying here anyway," Sean said, before adding, "He'd be third-wheeling if he came here too."

Cordy blushed a little, though Patrick was beaming. "He's too polite, honestly… We're family now. He would never be imposing."

Sean was speechless. "Yes, you're family. So can I borrow Cordy for a moment?"

Patrick was obviously reluctant, but Cordy already put the apple in his hand and said, "Eat it yourself.

"What…" Patrick was clearly upset, but he could only watch as Cordy walked toward Sean.

That accursed third-wheeler always ruined things for him!

Did he have a brain fart at Lynd Manor?! Why did he have to save that buster?!

In the walkway outside, Cordy asked, "What is it?"

Sean would not have called her out here unless it was something important—or something she should do.

"John isn't recovering at all," Sean said, straight to the point.

Cordy pursed her lips—this caught her slightly off guard, since she expected Sean to talk about the Lynds.

Sean continued calmly, "It's not like I think you owe John anything—he was willing to do this, so we don't have to feel an emotional debt toward him. I just think that it would always be a virtue to save a life, so if you could wake John out of humanitarian causes, you should try."

"Okay," Cordy agreed to it—Sean's reasoning was sound, and there was nothing to argue about. "You'll have to keep Patrick company. He can't move freely, so help me out if he needs anything."
