A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 597

The hotel guest continued to snap at Lucas. "It's just a lover's quarrel—do you really have to go that far? Young people these days really have no sense of responsibility or tact!"

Lucas took a deep breath, but there was no explaining himself right now.

Walking towards Cordy, he picked her unconscious body off the floor.

The instant he did, he could feel that her body was ablaze.

Was she trying to kill herself?

Lucas quickened his pace as he carried her off.

Cordy wasn’t fully unconscious in his arms, but her thoughts were muddled.

She felt as if she was in a car, which was moving rapidly.

At the same time, she felt a source of warmth beside her—she had been feeling cold the whole day, and was shivering no matter how many blankets she put over herself.

Suddenly, a familiar sensation flared within her mind, and she wanted to get closer to it.

Lucas frowned.

Even as he carried Cordy into the car that the hotel arranged, he could feel her constantly pressing and rubbing herself against him.

If her consciousness wasn’t muddled due to her fever, he would've suspected her coming on to him.

Still, if it actually was a tactic on her part, it was quite immaculate, if not a little cruel to herself.

In spite of his disgust, he spread his body so she could cling on to him easier.

It was a feeling he couldn’t quite describe.

For some reason, the first time he saw Cordy, his emotions were in turmoil.

He didn’t like that feeling, which inevitably led to an instinctive rejection towards her.

In reality, she never did anything to him. However, he kept thinking the worst of her.

And now, neither of them could see eye-to-eye.

Even so, he could not help asking the driver, "How much longer to the hospital?"
