A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 439

As Cordy turned around, John wrapped his arms around her from behind.

A pungent alcoholic sent filled her nostrils right then—he had definitely been drinking too much.

"Don't go," he whispered, holding her fast while his lips inched closer to her nape, greedily inhaling her distinctly fresh scent.

It really made him lose his mind.

His arms tightened around her, and his lips pressed flirtatiously against her nape.

"Two-timing feels really good, huh?" Cordy suddenly asked, unusually cold toward his affection.

John tensed up, while Cordy continued to scoff, "Between Jessica and I, which of us feels better to hug?"

John clearly stiffened right then.

Cordy then added, "I'm sorry, but I really hate jasmine-scented perfume."

She clearly picked up the scent of Jessica's perfume on his body, after all.

John's arms clearly eased around her, and she just had to shrug a little to free herself.

She shut the door tightly behind herself, as if shutting her heart from him as well.

With that, Cordy returned to her bed.

She was not that thirsty, but not getting a drink left her whole body uncomfortable now.

She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Through it all, the scent of jasmine seemed to swirl around her nostrils.

Feeling like she was starting to lose it, she got out of bed and went to take a shower, which she had been able to do ever since she could get out of bed.

The doctor told her that she just had to make sure she was not infected or fall, and there would be no issues after.

She had been careful each time as well, avoiding her wounded right leg along with the cuts and bruises all over her body.

Still, it took her a long time to finish her shower, mostly because moving was inconvenient for her.
