A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 575

Cora appeared from behind just then, having changed dresses and put on makeup.

"Cordy," she greeted Cordy, always respectful and warm.

However, Cordy remained distant towards her as she always had been, because of Zoe.

Come to think of it, it had been three years since she had seen Zoe.

Zoe never contacted Quinn or Cordy ever since she went missing, and they had no idea where she was.

How was she doing nowadays?

"My mom was just saying you should bring Dicky over for dinner," Cora continued, used to Cordy's distant attitude by now.

"I will, once I return to North City and have the time," Cordy replied.

"I've missed Dicky myself. Did he come here with you?" Cora asked.

"No, he's still at school."

"I've almost forgotten." Cora laughed.

"Don't let me keep you. I'm going back outside," Cordy said, ending the awkward exchange.

"Okay." Cora nodded.

"Let's go together," Bob told Cordy, before turning towards Cora. "I'll be watching outside."

"Yeah," Cora replied.

As Bob left with Cordy, Cordy asked offhandedly, "Do you have any news on Zoe?"

Bob paused for a moment, but shook his head. "I don't. She never contacted me, and I'm sure she wouldn't. You should ask Jay—he's coming today, but I don't know if he's arrived. He just texted me to say his flight was slightly delayed."

Jay's brain surgery three years ago had been a success, and he spent half a year recovering abroad before returning to the country.

After what happened to John, Bob and Jay had since let go of any grievances—they already had lost a friend who was akin to a brother, so there was no need to lose more.

"I was just asking," Cordy said. "If Zoe really wanted to reach us, she would’ve done so already."
