A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 467

The next day, Zoe stirred from her sleep slowly. She turned around groggily and rolled over to find no one beside her.

Opening her eyes, she felt the spot beside her to find it cold.

Smiling bitterly, Zoe thought about how she had already anticipated this happening. She forced herself to get up, and the covers slipped off her body. Looking down at herself, she saw that her skin was littered with bruises and marks.

Without these, she would have thought that everything last night had been a dream. She would have thought that Jay, who had acted entirely differently last night compared to usual, had been a figment of her imagination.

She lifted the covers to pick up the discarded clothes around the place and placed them neatly to one side before heading straight for the shower.

Her whole body was sore. Zoe thought feeling sore after such activity was just an exaggeration of fiction and movies.

After she showered, she dried her hair and changed into a pair of clean pajamas. When she tidied her bed, she saw spots of blood stains on the sheets.

It... was gone.

Perhaps it was for the better.

It would save her from overthinking it.

She quickly changed the sheets and turned around the leave when she suddenly noticed a note on the nightstand.

It was the note.

Zoe picked it up to read the note that said, "Wait for me, Jay."

She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart and wondered why Jay had left so early in the morning.

Was it to give her space to cool off before telling her his final decision?

Zoe tossed the note in the trash and calmly went about her own business.
