A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1112

Cordy asked, "By the way, how's Grandfather?"

Jesse had been unconscious for so long that the chances of him regaining consciousness were dwindling further.

"Same old." Sean sighed. "The doctors said that there's not much hope at this point."

"What about the family?" Cordy asked worriedly.

"I'll keep things together for now," Sean said wearily.

"I thought you're reluctant."

"Well, I have no choice when there's no one in the family who's up to task." Sean sighed. "Also, you don't have to worry about me—just keep Patrick company and nurse him. Anything else can wait."

Cordy nodded.

"I'm going now. Call me if anything comes up," Sean said.

"Yeah. See you."

Sean nodded and left.

Cordy turned and started to return to Patrick's room.

However, she paused for a moment before heading straight there.

Patrick was staying in bed, bored, and exclaimed in surprise when he saw her, "Back so soon?"

"I was just seeing Sean out."

"I thought you'd…" Patrick trailed off, hesitant.

Cordy, however, naturally knew what he was going to say and smiled. "No, I didn't. I'm never going to meet another man without my boyfriend's permission."

Patrick had been a little miffed, but his mood improved immediately. "I won't meet other women without my girlfriend's permission either."

"That's for sure."

"What should I do, Cordy?" Patrick asked, suddenly melancholic.

"What's wrong?" Cordy asked in surprise.

"I really want to marry you already."
