A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1277

Cordy kept Jesse company in his ward, talking to him, wiping him down, feeding him, and bringing him water.

She cared for him meticulously, and Jesse was certainly emotional to see this.

It reminded him of Cordy's mother, and the single greatest regret he would have in this life.

He always had a soft spot for her, too—which was why he could admit that he was interested in Sean's suggestion to let Cordy's son inherit the family estate even though strictly speaking, Richard was not even on the list.

"Cordy," Jesse suddenly called out to her. "Did you know about Sean and Patrick?"

Cordy nodded, having no reason to hide it. "I just found out."

"But you and Patrick…"

"Let's just say it was not meant to be." Cordy sighed feebly. "And we've both now found someone better."

"Someone better?!" Jesse glowered.

The thought that the grandson he appreciated most turning out to be a walking timebomb certainly left him overwhelmed.

Cordy could read his mind and smiled, "I think you should be more open-minded about Sean, Grandfather."

"It's just unacceptable," Jesse huffed with righteous indignation. "I never thought this would happen to me."

"But it happened."

"And what, I shouldn't stop it?"
