A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 334

Chapter 334

Zoe's voice was very quiet. "But I can't come back."

"Who told you that?!" Quinn snapped. "You've lost the Levines, but you never lost us-or are we dead to you?! You're not a Levine now, but so what? Is the world ending because of that?!"

Zoe's eyes welled with tears.

She did not want to turn on her phone, let alone contact Cordy or Quinn, as she did not want to trouble them.

Cordy had a trial coming up, and things were complicated between her and John. There were people who were after her as well, and if she had to fight the Levines for Zoe's sake, she would only get uncomfortable.

Zoe did not want to deny Cordy happiness any further too.

She actually could see very clearly that John and Cordy were really in love with each other. There was just so much between them that they could not tell each other that, and the path ahead was exceedingly trying so that Cordy could scarcely get distracted for Zoe's sake.

As for Quinn, her family ties were quite complicated too.

Moreover, the Saunders and Levines were longtime friends, and Sam's mother was Nancy Levine's best friend, meeting every other day each week. Though the Saunders really loved Quinn, even showing her favoritism despite being just a daughter-in-law, Zoe's status as a pariah would still make things difficult for Quinn.

And she did not want them to go through such trouble for them.

It was already enough that she alone had to suffer this misfortune-she did not want them to suffer with her.

At the moment, Zoe was staying with her so-called mother in a rundown apartment in North City.

She woke up here after she fainted.

The dilapidated house only had one room and one living room, and it was as small as it was filthy.

Clara Gooding changed new, bleached sheets for Zoe's bed so that she could sleep comfortably, whereas Clara herself slept in the living room.

Though Zoe did not reject it, she did not feel grateful either and simply accepted it numbly.
