A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295

Jessica looked like she was in absolute pain, and John dropped to a crouch with his back to her. 'Come. I'll give you a piggyback."

Jessica felt a little upset at that-John always went to the gym, and he was definitely capable of scooping her up in his arms.

And yet, he was only giving her a piggyback.

Since there was no way she could reject it, she forced herself to lean on his broad back.

John didn't even hold on to her thighs, only allowing herto wrap her arms around his neck. To make things even worse, he barely walked a few feet and quickly put her down on one of the spectator seats, saying, "I'm calling in a chopper to take you to the hospital."

"You don't have to," Jessica said quickly. "That's unnecessary. It’s not that serious."

"I’d rest easy if you go," John said firmly, so Jessica kept mum.

Even now, she had no idea if John was actually worried about her. In fact, his unnecessary gesture only made them seem distant—as if he was just resolving some annoying issue at work.

After the teachers and parents all voiced their concern and were told that Jessica would be taken to the hospital, they didn't ask anything else.

Naturally, the parent-child relay had to be called-off.

As they waited for the helicopter, Jessica suddenly said, "Johnny, you shouldn't blame Cordy."

John's eyes, however, were glued at the awards ceremony some distance away, which was continuing after the brief interruption of Jessica's mishap.

Cordy was there with Dicky.

He turned when he heard Jessica, who continued, "She didn't mean any harm."

"I saw everything," he said flatly. "You crossed into her trail and knocked her down."

Jessica blushed in embarrassment, surprised that John would speak so bluntly.

Even if she felt no emotion from his voice, she could more or less sense that accusing tone.

What was worse, he didn't show the slightest bit of concern after she got hurt.
