A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1131

Jay actually did not see Zoe at that instant, nor did Zoe get a good look at him when she saw a large group of doctors in lab coats rushing into a ward.

Moments after, a man was wheeled out on a stretcher so quickly that Zoe did not have a good look who it was.

All she saw was Jay wheeling himself so quickly to follow them that he almost flipped his wheelchair.

Zoe gritted her teeth and followed.

While the medical staff hurried into the emergency room, Jay waited outside worriedly, and the hallway soon became silent again.

"Jay." Zoe could not help calling out to him just then, and he seemed to jump.

He was too focused to notice anything else, and the suddenness registered in his reaction.

He turned to find Zoe standing there and appeared even more surprised, not knowing why Zoe showed up there.

As for Zoe, she could tell immediately from his reaction that he never noticed her from the start.

Who on earth could he be so worried about?

And judging from the figure, it was definitely no woman.

So… Who else would he care so much for?

"What are you doing here?" Jay blurted out just then.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" Zoe asked through gritted teeth. "You've been out early and coming home late often and being vague whenever I asked why. How long would you have kept this from me if I never followed you here?"

Jay was dumbstruck—he never was good at lying and even more speechless now that he was so exposed.

"So? Who is that in there?" Zoe pressed.

Jay stayed silent, since he had promised John not to tell—and now he understood why.
