A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 425

Chapter 425

Cordy stood and stared blankly at the burning wreckage.

They were not getting out.

Why were they not getting out?!

In the wreckage, Patrick was astonished to find John returning a second time.

They could all get killed in an instant, but he came back anyway.

They were not that close enough to be that selfless-in short, John was doing this for Cordy.

John really loved that woman—more than Patrick would give him credit for.

Meanwhile, the fire was growing, and the scalding heat could already be felt within the car.

"Don't you fear death?" Patrick could not resist asking John just then.

John did not answer.

Patrick nodded knowingly in turn. "I guess it makes sense, since she would remember you forever if you died for her sake."

"I don't need her to remember-l just don't want her to be sad," John snapped coolly even as he panted. "There's no time to check if there's anything lodged in your body. I have to open the door right now or we would all be dead."

"Okay." Patrick nodded—there were no other options anyway.

At the same time, the chauffeur who was up front managed to free himself from his seat.

Like the others, he was battered and bleeding all over too.

"I'm out!" he cried-he did not run away despite the clear danger and instead asked how he could help.

"Go outside and pull the door open!" John told him.

"Okay!" the chauffeur replied and slammed against his door, opening it before scrambling outside to Patrick's door.

The fire continued to spread and the chauffeur was singed, though he only put it out when it actually hurt.
