A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 426

The inferno raged in the night, and Cordy's whole body was shaking.

No… he was not dead! Not like that!

She rose to her feet but fell just as she did, her feet too weak to carry her.

She only wanted to go to John…

As such, she crawled over to the wreckage even as she felt as if she was crumbling with despair inside, her heart aching so much she was unable to breathe…

That was when she seemed to see silhouettes suddenly appearing amid the flames, dashing wildly in her direction.

They were all on fire and looked like they were going to be burned, but they were also unquestionably alive.

John was still alive!

Still, after running and getting some distance between them and the burning wreckage, they dropped to the ground and started rolling around, intent on putting out the flames.

Cordy did not hesitate to throw herself on John, using her own body to put out every flame over his body.

Eventually, they all managed to put out the fires, and only the wreckage was burning.

Still, they stayed on the ground for a breather and inhaled deeply, having just survived a close shave with death.

John soon pushed himself off the ground. He wobbled a little but he did not fall, and he merely paused for a moment before taking his charred jacket and threw it over Cordy's body, wrapping it around her.

She had taken off her gown in an attempt to put out the flames earlier, and she only had her pinkish peach bra on with a tiny pair of shorts.

Cordy did not refuse and simply stared at him—for some reason, he seemed more hurt than the rest of them even if he was not caught in the car crash.

"I think this is it," Patrick suddenly groaned miserably in the darkness.
