A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 504

Quinn then said, "The trial’s starting soon. Let's go in."

"Oh, right. What brings you here?" Cordy asked casually, since Quinn wasn’t that close with John.

"I'm just auditing, I guess."

With a start, Cordy realized she almost forgot that Quinn was a lawyer, and how sharp Quinn looked when defending Cordy in her own trial.

They both entered the courtroom, recovering their composure once they entered.

After all, they were both used to staying stoic when others were around.

As they sat down together beside Bob, Sam seemed to turn to look at Quinn for a moment, but ultimately said nothing.

She didn’t look his way either, staring straight ahead at the judge's bench even though the judiciary panel hadn’t shown up yet.

Soon, people started to file inside. Cordy blinked when she saw John.

He seemed to have lost even more weight since she last saw him, and now, he was all bones.

Adding to his height, it looked like a strong gust would be enough to knock him off his feet.

Cordy restrained herself, even though Bob and Sam were twitching in their stands, unable to stand how skinny John was now.

Sam even grumbled out loud, "What did they put him through? Can't the other Levines at least help him out?"

Bob said nothing, but he was obviously feeling terrible too.
