A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395

Cordy didn’t chase Jay away after lunch, nor did he volunteer to leave.

He stayed on the couch, watching the television while Cordy worked in her study.

It was an amicable sight, though Jay had been yawning many times as he sat on the couch.

He would never admit to himself that he had been losing sleep, even going sleepless on occasion.

Still, he shouldn't be this sleepy...

Deciding that television might be too boring, he whipped out his phone to browse through videos and news articles, which were all obsessing over the Stuarts’ charity ball tonight.

Even as he browsed through everything, Jay’s eyelid was drooping; he soon fell asleep with his phone still in his hand.

Cordy stepped out of her study and watched as Jay lay on the couch, his breathing turning rhythmic.

She had spiked his pasta with sleeping pills-she had some ready in her house, since she lost sleep on occasion too.

Still, the pills worked faster than she expected. She had been under the impression that it would take at least thirty minutes to even an hour to knock out Jay.

He probably hadn't been sleeping well, and the pills do work quicker when the person was tired.

"Jay?" Cordy called out tentatively.

He frowned, but didn’t respond.

His head felt so heavy, he couldn't open his eyes at all.

After confirming that he was out, Cordy made her way to the front door and took a deep breath before opening it out of the blue, looking panicked as she cried desperately, "Get in here! Jay suddenly fainted!"

The two bodyguards outside traded glances, but otherwise didn't react.
