A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205

Naturally, Randy was under orders from John to help Cordy, since John was too busy to see to it himself.

Even so, he was watching from above until the matter was resolved.

But just as he left, Cordy blinked-the woman who had been standing next to John turned to look at her too.

There was neither hostility nor friendliness in her gaze, and it looked like a brief, nonchalant glance.

However, Cordy’s woman’s intuition was tingling spontaneously.

The banquet hall was getting even more lively, and at 8 PM, the host of the celebration showed up.

Alan was saved by a hair’s breadth after the death of his son and daughter-in-law, but he was paraplegic since and was wheelchair bound.

Cordy suddenly remembered what John had told her on their trip to Ayro Island. At the time, he was so nonchalant when he spoke of what befell his family back then and the pressure that was thrown on him afterward.

It must have been hard on him at the time, and Cordy’s heart ached for him.

That was when she saw John in his tailored suit, appearing imposing as he wheeled Alan into the elevator on the second floor as they headed down to the central stage under the floodlights.

With them was John’s aunt and uncle, Nancy Levine and Ivan York.

Richard was nowhere to be seen, though Cordy realized it might be inappropriate for children to attend this celebration.

Zoe was not with John and the rest either.

That was when Cordy looked up and saw Zoe standing by the handrail, a champagne glass in her hand and clearly offering a toast.

It was as if she sensed Cordy looking for her.
