A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1267

Cordy asked, "Should I know?"

"Well, no," John said, not giving a direct answer. "But I was sure you could guess it."

Cordy frowned—guess? Guess what?!

Was it even possible that Patrick and Sean shared some unspeakable secret… Hold on!

Cordy was taken aback, staring at John as a certain idea started to take root.

John chuckled—he knew his wife was smart enough to figure it out.

Meanwhile, they arrived at the exceedingly luxurious private hospital where Jesse Cranston was admitted—it was only natural that he stayed at such a place.

As they alighted, Cordy was staring between Sean and Patrick, not quite understanding it just then.

"What's wrong?" Sean asked, frowning and left a little perplexed by Cordy's fixed stare.

"Nothing," Cordy replied as she came to her senses and followed him into the hospital.

There was an indescribable tension every time she came.

To think that her grandfather was still bedridden…

Suddenly, she felt a big warm hand grasping hers, and she looked up at John.

He smiled, clearly to offer assurance.

Cordy smiled in return—even if she had accepted the possibility that her grandfather would never regain consciousness, people would always be more hopeful than necessary while they lived…

"Sir, my name is John Levine," he said. "Apologies that I did not give you a head's up—I was a little impatient because I was worried I'd never get to marry Cordy."

Patrick chuckled nearby, which left Cordy a little embarrassed.

"But don't worry, sir—I will have no woman aside from Cordy. I love her very much and only her, and I refuse to let her suffer because of me. Therefore, I would assure you that you have nothing to worry about when you entrust her to me."

He nodded respectfully and so deeply that it could be a bow.

Cordy's eyes welled with tears, unsure if she felt sad that her grandfather could not witness her wedding or if she was touched by John's gesture.

They had gone through so much that it still felt unreal remembering it now.

She used to believe that she had a hard time letting the past go and that she would never reconcile with John.

Now, however, she realized that once she decided to let go, she was really relieved—and history became nothing but history.
