A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 538

John was ready to storm the storehouse with his men when Cordy caught his hand.

"John," she murmured, even as he felt how skinny his fingers were.

If she could, she really wanted to hold on tightly to that hand and to stop him from facing any danger.

But now, she had to let him go and tell him, "You have to keep Dicky safe."

"I will." John agreed to it right away, able to read between her lines.

He knew that she was telling him that he must keep Richard safe even at the cost of his life, but he agreed to it without hesitation.

John had never once accused her of failing to keep Richard safe and allowing Richard to be exposed to such danger although he entrusted Richard to her.

Cordy released John's hand just then, and he gave her an assuring look before quickly heading inside the warehouse with his men.

They were afraid of going loud and therefore moved carefully toward the warehouse entrance.

John leaned against it when he reached it and gave his bodyguards a pointed look since he did not hear anything from there.

Catching his cue, the bodyguard took out a pair of giant pliers, cutting the door lock inch by inch before opening it.

There was no sound, and all they saw was darkness even after opening the door.

In contrast to the outside where there was still a small glimmer of light, the interior of the warehouse was pitch-black.

One of the bodyguards scouted the way ahead, and John followed, with another bodyguard tasked with protecting him.
