A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 429

In the end, Cordy had to ask him.

John had been unbelievably nice, and that left her suspecting if she was somehow crippled.

Nonetheless, John chuckled so she could feel panic too.

Cordy had to avert her eyes in turn—somehow, that man's smile was simply beautiful, even if it was filled with cuts and bruises.

"Don't worry, you're not missing any limbs, though there's a minor fracture on your right foot," John answered seriously then. "There are also plenty of cuts and bruises all over your body, and you lost quite a lot of blood. The doctor assured me that you'll soon make a full recovery, regardless."

"What about you?" Cordy asked, staring at him just then.

Sure, she was fine, but what about him? Was he hurt?

Even if he was not in the car when it crashed, he was definitely hurt when he rescued them.

She noticed that both his hands were bandaged, but he still took care of her, even helping her drink.

"I'm fine," he said flatly.

Cordy gulped.

There was so much she wanted to say, but she simply could not manage a word.

Moreover, she was too tired, and she did not have an ounce of strength to spare.

"Just lie down. I'll get the oatmeal," John said and left the room.

Cordy hence leaned against her pillow and studied the large room.

This was supposedly Rocktown, but where in Rocktown?

John's private residence? Would Jessica show up, since she lived here?

Cordy pursed her lips and suddenly remembered Patrick.

What happened to him?

She certainly did not want him to die, not because life was precious, but also because he was her stalwart shield, protecting her from Jessica.
