A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 435

The sudden change in subject left Cordy taken aback.

"What, you don't want to leave?" Patrick teased her.

"I mean, I would like to, but I'd rather not trouble you," Cordy said bluntly. "I can't even get out of bed right now."

"I'm just kidding," Patrick said. "I won't be able to take you with me even if I came, not to mention that I have no idea where you are. I'm sure John would do all he can to hide you from me, but that's the point—he's keeping you very well hidden, so be at ease and take your time to rest for a while at his place."

Cordy could not quite describe how she felt after hearing what Patrick said.

That was when another call came in, and she said, "I'm hanging up. Jessica is calling John's phone."

"Ask the man to buy you a phone, okay? Just stick to your old number so that we can keep in touch," Patrick did not forget to tell her.

"I know."

Once she hung up, she called out at the direction of the door, "John!"

John opened the door and entered, having been waiting for her all this while.

Still, he did not eavesdrop on her conversation with Patrick.

"Jessica is calling you," Cordy said, holding out his phone to her.

John gave her a look, took it, and left again with his phone before returning minutes later.

Cordy did not ask her why Jessica called, nor did he volunteer that information.

They had both certainly chosen to avoid talking about Jessica at all.

"Could I trouble you to buy me a phone with my old number?" Cordy asked.

"Someone will be bringing it over soon," John replied.

"Thank you,"

"Want to sleep a while longer?"

Yeah."

With that, Cordy lay down again, while John left.

The room turned silent, but Cordy could not sleep—she certainly could not do it after three days, but she wanted to be silent.

After all, she must think about what she is going to do now.
