A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253

"Sorry to disturb you," Jay said apologetically. "Zoe fell asleep."

"It's fine, since..." Cordy trailed off, then continued, "Could you bring her in?" 1

Jay didn't ask anything further and simply followed Cordy through the house, then placed Zoe in Cordy’s bed. From the start to the end, Zoe hadn't moved a muscle.

After releasing her, Jay left Cordy’s room with the latter following him.

When they reached the living room, Jay handed her the medicine John had asked him to buy just now.

Cordy was stunned.

Jay explained, "Johnny asked me to give you this."

Cordy pursed her lips but said nothing. There was a dark bruise on her neck from when Bryson held her tonight. She hadn't thought that John had noticed.

"Thank you," Cordy said, accepting it.

She accepted simply because she didn't want to make things difficult for Jay and didn't want to make a big fuss out of something small.

Jay actually knew what was going through Cordy’s mind. The more calm she acted, the more she didn't care. He really couldn't guarantee that John would be able to regain her in the future.

"By the way,’ Jay added. "There's a box of hangover pills in there. If Zoe gets up tomorrow with a hangover, please give her some."

"Okay," Cordy promised. Then, she said slowly, "If you can't promise a future with her, please stay away from her."

Jay's heart skipped a beat.

"There wouldn't be a disappointment if there's no hope in the first place," Cordy said bluntly.

"Yeah," Jay replied, nodding.

He clearly knew what Cordy was talking about, and said politely, "Please excuse my intrusion."
