A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 559

Cordy left the seaside.

She left the sea that killed her greatest love and went back to Richard, who had been waiting for her all along.

His petite figure stood under the moonlight, quietly waiting for her without crying or fussing.

At that moment, she suddenly wondered what Richard would do if she never came back.

If, at that moment, she had chosen to die together with John, what would Richard do?

The guilt that surfaced all of a sudden mixed up with the overwhelming sorrow in her heart, which almost made Cordy break down again.

She felt like she almost blacked out from the crushing emotions inside her.

It was as if her whole body had fallen into a deep, dark abyss…

She bit her lip hard, forcing herself to stay strong.

She had not lost everything—she still had Richard.

She crouched down low, down to Richard's height and looked right at Richard who was trying his best to hold back his tears.

She saw the resilience on his face that resembled John's so much.

She said, "Dicky, Daddy will not be coming back anymore."

Richard nodded.

He knew.

He knew that his godmother kidnapped him with the goal of dying together with Daddy.

But he was too young.

He was incapable of stopping everything from happening and resisting the flow.

He could only stand idly by and watch Godmother use him to threaten Daddy.

He could only stand idly by and watch Mommy shed silent tears because of Daddy's death.

He caressed Cordy's cheeks with his small hands, gently wiping her tears away, but no matter how much he did so, the tears kept coming. "Mommy," he said, "I'll take care of you on Daddy's behalf."

Richard's words completely shattered Cordy's heart.

She pulled Richard into a tight embrace and hugged him.

Truly, only Richard could give her the courage to live on…

The next morning, when day broke, Cordy brought Richard back to her own house.
