A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 246

Chapter 246

"After that, the fire broke out and you were trapped in it. I saw Kyle saving Noel and leaving you behind," John said with pursed lips. "I rushed in and got you out."

Cordy was surprised at that revelation. She had always assumed a fireman had saved her, as she vaguely remembered her savior was dressed in a fireman's uniform.

"I grabbed a helmet from a fireman near me. I was afraid I'd choke on the smoke and die before I could get to you," John explained as if he could read her mind.

Cordy looked down. She suddenly remembered the first time she had seen John in the hospital, and how his wrists were heavily bandaged.

"You've explained a lot..." Cordy turned to look at John, her eyes reverting back to their usual coldness. 'Why did you treat me so kindly? We were just strangers who met by chance, and I've done many things to hurt you. Why would you like me?"

Cordy couldn't believe him.

It was hard for her to trust anyone.

She laughed softly and continued, "Don't say something like it was love at first sight. You've seen so many beautiful and outstanding women, Mr.

Levine. How could you have fallen in love with me at first sight... Or rather, first night, I guess. Why would you be so hell-bent on me?"

"That night was fantastic," John replied bluntly.

Cordy bit her lip.

"And yes, that was my first time," John added.

"I didn't think you would be such a conservative person," Cordy shot back.

"It just so happened that I am," John replied, looking straight at her.
