A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 453

Jay thought that his voice was so soft that it was almost indiscernible.

Yet, Zoe heard it.

She looked at him. "What's the matter?"

"Things look very good between you and Bob," Jay said with a smile.

"Aren't you very glad about that?" Zoe said as she looked straight at him.

"No…"

"It's all thanks to you," Zoe said forthrightly, "If it weren't for your rejection, I wouldn't have known how good Bob is. I didn't even know I could like someone so much."

Jay swallowed past his constricted throat.

He dared not reveal his inner emotions, for he was afraid that he might lose control over himself.

"You're probably very surprised that Bob and I even got together in the first place, I suppose?" Zoe looked at Jay as she went on, "Bob has been carrying a torch for me for many years, but because he knew that I liked you, he kept his feelings to himself, for fear that he might lose the friendship should he confess. It was only until I faced difficulties and he helped me overcome them without question that he finally confessed to me that he liked me."

Jay listened on as Zoe recounted her love story with Bob.

"If it weren't for Bob, I wouldn't have remained who I am now."

If it were not for Bob who saved her in the nick of time back then, she feared to imagine what terrible plight she would be in right now.

She knew the ugly nature of people especially in the entertainment circle.

There would be many people following after the first time.

Very few were capable of resisting the temptation and pulling back from the brink.

She was truly thankful for Bob and thankful that he appeared when she most needed help.

"I'm really thankful that I was able to meet the right person after going through so much," the corner of Zoe's lips lifted subconsciously in a smile. "Jay, I used to really hate you in the past. I hated you for being indifferent toward me, for not having feelings for me. I even hated the fact that you eventually chose to leave when I faced difficulties."

She had to admit that she hated Jay for leaving her at the hospital after her accident when she suggested him to.

He did not turn back and extend a helping hand at all.

Of course, despite the hatred in her heart, she eventually came to accept it.

When it came to Jay, she could truly accept almost anything.

"I'm glad that you were cold to me. Otherwise, I might not have been able to let you go and might just miss out on Bob."
