A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 599

Lucas promptly argued, "I'm not a relative."

The doctor shot him a glare and asked bluntly, "Why are you dressed like a couple if she's not your girlfriend?"

Lucas was so furious, he could take off his coat right there and then.

"Why did you bring her to the hospital if she's not your girlfriend?" the doctor pressed.

Lucas was going to explain himself when the doctor added, "Weren’t you kissing her just now?”

"I wasn't kissing her!" Lucas growled, agitated.

Cordy knew that too, and she was awake when he leaned towards her.

However, seeing Lucas getting annoyed made her feel cathartic. She even looked at him in disbelief on purpose.

Lucas immediately sensed Cordy's gaze. "Why are you staring at me like that? Did you really think I'd kiss you?"

Before Cordy could speak, the doctor said, "It's normal for couples to fight, but you should learn to compromise. How much is one’s ego worth, after all? You'll be regretting it so badly if she leaves you."

"Look, I—"

"That's enough of that," the doctor said, cutting Lucas short. "Hurry up and get her checked in. The patient can go with the nurse to the ward."

"Thank you, doctor," Cordy said, smiling faintly.

She was beautiful in the first place, and her smile always dazzled. Now that she was sick and her smile appeared fragile, one would feel sympathetic for her. The doctor himself was left stunned for a brief moment.

Lucas smirked as he stood beside them—she was quite the natural seductress, wasn’t she?

Still, he left and got her admitted to the hospital.

After a little bit of work, Cordy eventually lay down on a luxurious hospital bed. By then, it was already the wee hours of the morning.

She was actually satisfied with how Lucas handled the paperwork. She had initially expected him to be petty and get her the worst ward, one which she had to share with other patients.
