A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1214

Even as the thought crossed Cordy's mind, Wendy stepped out of the changing room.

However, she was still in her casual dress from before and not wearing her bridal gown.

Cordy could immediately tell what Wendy was up to with a single look, but she held her tongue while John asked, "What's wrong? Doesn't the dress fit?"

"No," Wendy replied a little anxiously. "Something urgent came up, so I have to go right now. I took off the bridal gown halfway."

"What happened?"

"My friend got into a traffic accident. I need to get to the hospital right now."

Cordy was blue with shock—that was such an outrageous lie!

"How is she doing?" John quickly asked in concern.

"I don't know, she didn't say. I need to find out at the hospital."

"I'll take you there."

"No, it's alright." Wendy refused right away. "You can decide on the bridal gown—I don't know when I can make it back. I'll love anything you decide on anyway.

Before John could say more, Wendy quickly left. "I'm going now, Johnny. I'll call you later."

And with that, she was gone, leaving John behind.

John watched as she left, disappointment clearly showing in his eyes.

Zoe and Jay stepped out of the changing room just then, with Jay having put on a white tuxedo.

They were a picturesque sight and very easy on the eyes, and Jay's noble presence was hardly dampened despite being seated on a wheelchair.

"Wait, why is Wendy leaving?" Zoe asked, staring as Wendy headed to the distance. "I was just looking forward to seeing if she looked good in hers. John here personally stayed abroad for a week, keeping a close eye on the tailors as they made her dress!"
