A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 560

Perhaps because both their corpses had been exploded to bits, Jessica's corpse could not be found either.

The police and Alan Levine had given up.

Even Cordy had given up.

To them, perhaps not finding his corpse was a form of comfort to them for somehow, it made them feel like he might still be alive.

Perhaps there might be a miracle.

Alan was going abroad today as Jay was scheduled for his operation next week. Though the risk remained great, it was even greater if he did not undergo the operation. However, if the operation failed, Jay might very well die in the surgery.

Cordy sent Alan off at the airport, and Nancy and Cora were there too.

Richard was there too, of course.

Events of the past few months left their mark on Alan's old and haggard face.

He never expected to experience so many earth-shattering changes in his life over a few short months.

Time and time again, he found himself bidding goodbye forever to people younger than himself.

"Dad, let me go overseas with you," Nancy could not help but suggest. "If you go alone to accompany Jay, what if Jay…"

Nancy's eyes turned red as she found herself unable to go on.

She was probably thinking about John.

She was in so much pain and sorrow—she never thought that John would one day die before she did.

Even at the last lawsuit, she kept feeling that given John's intelligence, nothing could ever happen to him.

Yet, after the lawsuit ended, he died so suddenly…

"No need. Stay in North City and keep Cora company." Alan shook his head in refusal.

"Things are pretty smooth-sailing for Cora in the entertainment industry. It's fine for me to be away from her and keep you company for a period of time…"

"Let me go alone and have my space."

"Dad."

"If anything is to happen to Jay, I'll inform you immediately," Alan said firmly.

Nancy had no further say in the matter.

She knew that her father just did not want them to come face to face with death once again.
