A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 472

So when the Levines all traveled abroad, John left Dicky in Jessica’s care? Without asking Cordy's permission, or whether Dicky wanted to stay with Jessica?

Still, Cordy clenched her teeth and accepted reality. She was reluctant to bother John given present circumstances.

His texts over the next few days were scarce since there was nothing to say, what with Jay not recovering anytime soon.

However, Jessica was still constantly sharing updates of her time with Dicky even though it was definitely a mess, be it eating or bathing Dicky, leaving his little face covered in bubbles.

She also brought Dicky outdoors to hiking and amusement parks, where they would play with all sorts of exciting rides.

Cordy stayed silent, watching as Jessica expressed her motherly nature.

That is, until she sent a photo of Dicky hurting his leg.

In the photo, the boy was keeping his head lowered and staring at his leg, covered in white bandages, his expression impassive.

Jessica's caption was: [I'm so sorry, baby! I was careless.]

It was also lined with crying emojis, but it pushed Cordy over the edge. She texted Jessica: [What happened to Dicky?]

Jessica replied: [It's nothing. He had a little sprain when we went hiking. The doctor said he just needed to take it easy, and he'd be fine.]

Cordy, however, was skeptical. [Where is he? I'll come get him.]
