A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400

While every journalist swarmed towards John and Jessica, Patrick asked Cordy softly, "Are you alright? Can you walk?"

"I’m fine," Cordy said, pivoting her ankles a little—it hurt a little, but it wouldn't affect her that much.

"Don't push yourself," Patrick told her.

"I'm not," Cordy replied, determined.

"Okay."

Patrick shrugged, and said nothing else.

Cordy straightened herself in turn, and put her hand around Patrick's arm again and entered the hall.

Behind them, John and Jessica naturally saw them and the rather intimate exchange.

"I'm surprised my cousin’s already so close with Cordy," Jessica said, seemingly nonchalant.

John didn’t react at all, as if he didn't care.

Or perhaps he just didn't want to show it in front of Jessica.

Jessica controlled herself in turn-she was going to announce the date of their wedding tonight, anyway.

Over the past month, her grandfather William Stuart had been determined to push the issue. John himself had stayed at Rocktown the entire time, to help with the Stuarts' business.
