A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153

Looking up at Cordy just then, Zoe asked, “You must be curious as to how John ended up bringing Dicky home, aren’t you?”

Cordy nodded, and Zoe gave her an ‘I-knew-it’ look. “Of course he doesn’t tell you a thing.”

In reality, Cordy simply did not ask.

At the same time, Zoe searched her memory and said, “John was twenty-one when Dicky was brought home… and by our grandfather, at that. Actually, John did not even know that he had a kid, but as for how our grandfather knows? Let’s just say he’s omnipotent and leave it at that. Anyway, I remembered that John was still abroad when our grandfather came home with Dicky, and I overheard him speaking over the phone that the mother abandoned Dicky at the hospital after delivering him, so our grandfather brought him back.”

Cordy felt a pain in her chest.

Although John had told her that Richard’s mother had abandoned him, she was still stunned to find out that Richard was abandoned at birth.

The very thought left her suffocating, just as she remembered her own child.

She wanted to keep it so badly, only for it to end up stillborn…

Cordy could not stop her tears just then, while Zoe almost jumped in shock at Cordy’s reaction. “W- What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

“I don’t know,” Cordy murmured as her tears guashed. “My chest just hurts.”

“I mean, I felt sad when I saw Dicky at the time too. How cruel could that woman be to abandon her own son? I’d never forgive her if I were John!” Zoe huffed, before adding after some thought,” Though I think John doesn’t forgive her either.”

Cordy nodded quietly, while Zoe continued to rant with righteous indignation, “I’m actually curious too. What woman could be so crazy that she’d abandon John and Dicky? Is he not handsome enough for her? Or is he not rich enough, or not powerful enough? She’s definitely blind.”

Cordy was curious who that woman was too, to leave John without a care after sleeping with him.
