A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 601

Lucas’s phone started ringing, and he answered it.

After a simple exchange, he got to his feet and headed outside the ward.

Cordy looked up at him, about to ask if he was going to leave—there was no way he’d be that nice and stay with her in the ward for an entire night.

However, she didn’t ask her question since she saw that he really was in a rush.

Whatever—they were ultimately strangers, and he could do anything he liked.

Cordy shifted her posture as she read her phone.

She basically slept after fainting and catching a high fever, and wasn’t sleepy at all now—it could be yet another sleepless night.

Nonetheless, she tapped on her news app. She scrolled through the business section and found nothing of note, and then turned to the entertainment section.

It turned out that Lucas actually made headlines since a lot of people were mesmerized by his good looks, with many fangirls commenting their infatuation on the article.

Cordy wondered how many of them would give up if they knew how terrible the man was in private.

Still, she was engrossed in reading when the door to her ward suddenly opened; she looked up to see Lucas carrying two large bags into her ward.

She was startled, since she thought he had long left.

"What are you doing here?" she blurted.

Lucas rolled his eyes at her, scowling; as if to say that he wouldn’t be here if he could leave.

Cordy smiled ever so subtly, actually surprised that he could be so compliant.

It was common sense that hospitals couldn’t force anyone to keep patients company, and her life wasn’t in danger.

She had no intention of telling Lucas that, though.

Just as Lucas put down the two large bags on the tea-table nearby, Cordy spotted a pair of men's boxers.

Hold on, how long is he going to stay here?!

Lucas took out a set of undergarments, brandishing it at her as he asked, "Do you want these?"
