A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 603

Lucas turned to lay on his side, keeping his back to Cordy.

Cordy followed suit; while she disliked his attitude, his words undoubtedly offered her slight relief.

If anything happened between a man and a woman in the same room, she would be the one who stood to lose. As such, Lucas's words gave her a mysterious sense of security.

The night was quiet, and Cordy seemed to hear Lucas's breathing assuming a steady, regular rhythm.

He certainly fell asleep very quickly; when she thought about it, he really did put himself through the grinder tonight.

The sudden terrible cold she caught may well have had something to do with that.

She clung on to John as tightly as she could, pleading to him repeatedly, "Please, don't go… I missed you so much…"
