A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1122

John never told Cordy and kept holding on to her hand in silence.

He gulped, his heart pounding erratically as he wished the flight would last so much longer.

It was after a long while when the plane finally started its descent, and the woman nearby started to bawl in an instant, though it was tears of joy this time.

"I'm never boarding a plane anymore! Hngh…"

Cordy breathed a quiet sigh of relief in turn.

She was not as hysterical as the other woman, but everyone feared death regardless.

She had to inhale deeply several times to only calm herself slightly, and that was when she noticed that she had been squeezing John's hand.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she relaxed her fingers to release him, only to realize that John had been holding firmly to her hand, too.

Nonetheless, John sharply noticed her movement and quickly released her.

The air between them turned awkward, but luckily, the plane had touched down and stopped soon enough, and everyone could get off.

Cordy did so without a second's hesitation, whereas John waited for a while before leaving as well, deliberately keeping a distance from Cordy in fear that his presence would repulse her.

As they disembarked one after the other, Cordy suddenly heard another woman calling out to her. "Miss? Why are you alone? Where's your boyfriend?"

Cordy turned to find the woman who had been crying hysterically on the plane, who had left way earlier than she did.

She must have been so spooked that she did not want to stay another second on the plane.

"He's not my boyfriend," Cordy replied bluntly nonetheless.
