A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 607

The night passed; Cordy opened her eyes, woken up by the motion in her ward.

She blinked.

It had been a while since she felt so terrible waking up, as she was usually wide awake after waking up.

On the other hand, she felt like she wanted to sleep in today; she actually slept very well last night.

She could clearly tell that she slept soundly for a long while, too.

As she opened her bleary eyes, still feeling muddled, she noticed many figures in lab coats filing into her ward.

They turned out to be doctors doing their rounds. She answered every question that the doctor leading the group asked her.

He didn’t say much and turned to leave, leading the rest out of her ward when he was done.

A nurse entered after they left. She took Cordy’s temperature and asked, "Made up with your boyfriend, have we?"

It was only then that Cordy realized Lucas was in her bed as well, and hiding himself beneath her blanket.

He must’ve done so when the doctors came in, bothering him in his sleep.

"We knew you were a couple having an argument," the nurse continued. "That's why we tricked him, saying he needed to stay with you as a hospital rule. He was fuming, but he agreed to it anyway—I mean, it's obvious he's bad tempered, but he does treat you well. He kept asking us what was wrong with you while he filed the paperwork for your admission, and if you have any other illnesses…"

Cordy could tell that Lucas was worried she would suddenly die, and he would be forced to take all the blame.

"Well, your temperature's normal, but the doctor said it’d be safer if we took a blood sample."

The nurse took out a syringe, and Cordy bit her lip.

In truth, she was actually scared of needles even if it didn’t really hurt that much.

As the nurse did her work, Cordy couldn’t help herself from grabbing something beside her.

She couldn’t tell what it was, but she held on to it very tightly.

Fortunately, the nurse was skilled and was soon done.
