A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1283

Cordy lay in bed, waiting for John.

He eventually emerged from the bathroom, absent-mindedly drying his hair as he changed into fresh pajamas.

He appeared surprised to find Cordy in bed. "Going to sleep too?"

"Can't I?"

"No," he quickly said. "I mean, you'd have trouble sleeping at the hospital while taking care of your grandfather."

Cordy pursed her lips—that certainly was not the case.

In private hospitals, one could enjoy the hospitality usually expected from five-star hotels. With people at your beck and call, it certainly did not dull in comparison to one.

Still, John did not seem to notice Cordy's feelings as he pulled up the blanket and got into bed.

Cordy followed suit after he did and slowly slid to his side.

John was taken aback—he almost could not recall a day when he was alone in the same room with Cordy, and he handily pulled her into his arms.

Holding her firmly, he started to sleep.

Cordy's heart racing.

It was as if there was some unknown force at work stopping them from consummating even though they were legally married now.

She waited nervously for a long while, but John was not making a move!

He should be desperate, and she remembered that he could not sleep the night after their wedding in North City.

But now, John was not moving at all, and she could not feel his body stiffening, let alone show any sense of urgency.
