A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212

Cordy was taken aback. “What is it?”

Zoe repeated Jay’s message then. “He said you should doubt everything my grandfather says not make hasty decisions. Also, you should wait for John until he explains everything to you.”

Cordy pursed her lips.

And she actually thought that he was just being a good Samaritan.
