A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 423

Chapter 423

Cordy bellowed furiously, "Let me go!

"Now's not the time to get stubborn-argh!" John suddenly cried out in pain, as Cordy had bitten down on his neck so strongly he flinched.

He did not release her, but she started to flail around violently in his arms.

The slope was already hard to stand on, and as she relentlessly thrashed about, both of them ended up falling, though John quickly cushioned her fall and spared her from getting hurt.

Regaining her freedom, she started to run toward the car wreck-it was all the more reason forthem to save Patrick the more dire the situation was or he would be dead!

Cordy ran quickly, even though her right leg was seriously hurt and she had just regained some of her feeling.

Even if the pain seemed to cut her into the heart, she did not stop at all.

"Cordy!" John dashed forward and caught her, holding her firmly in place and stopping her from reaching the wreckage.

Smack!

She suddenly wheeled on him and slapped him across the face!

Covered in blood, they were both battered and bruised, and there was no sign of her hitting him even after she did it.

The crisp smack was deafening, however, and John was glaring at Cordy with blood-red eyes, his Adam’s apple bobbing repeatedly as he repressed his rage.

Even so, she met his gaze and told him with no uncertainty," I'd never just sit by and watch someone die!"

"Even if you die?" he shot back.

"Yes! Or I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life!" she snapped and shook his hand off.

She was very determined, and no one could stop her.

She started running again, but John caught her arm just as she was about to move.
