A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 571

Cordy told Dicky, "I'll confirm the time with Nancy once I come home."

"Okay, Mommy. I'm done eating—I'm going to school now."

"I'll drive you," Cordy said, putting down her knife and fork.

Dicky frowned. "Shouldn't you get some rest? You drank a lot last night."

"I don't feel anything since I've had honey and warm milk," Cordy smiled. "All thanks to my baby."

Dicky blushed a little—it had been years, but there was no changing that shyness.

How was he going to date girls when he got older?

Cordy sent him to school, and felt a little emotional as he watched Dicky enter the school with his towering frame.

She thought it had been a while since she saw her shrink, and had her chauffeur take her to the private clinic.

"Cordy," Jim Brown, her personal shrink, greeted her warmly. "You've actually made time to visit."

Cordy smiled, but said flatly, "My insomnia's been getting worse."

"Come on in."

Jim led Cordy into this office.

It was a homely room, giving anyone a sense of comfort as soon as they entered since it was decorated specifically for patients like her.

As Cordy lay down on the soft cushion of the chaise lounge, Jim brought her a fur blanket, and poured her the black tea he brewed as he chatted with her nonchalantly, "Any pressure from work lately?"

"No. That's why I'm losing sleep."

"Because you're missing John?"

"I went nights without sleep," she said.

She actually wanted to say that she missed John through the nights, to the point that she couldn’t sleep the entire night.

But John was all she could think about—especially the moment when he left her, telling her that he regretted nothing.

Good for him.

Cordy, on the other hand, was left with all the regrets she could possibly have.

"You know he's dead," Jim said, passing her a glass of black tea.
