A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 608

Cordy couldn’t help lamenting at how unfair the gods were—why did Lucas still look so attractive when he was clearly so disheveled?!

"I'm warning you, Cordy—don't make a sound while I'm sleeping," he snapped tempestuously, before cursing. "F*ck!"

Cordy didn’t know why he was being grouchy—what was so upsetting about being woken up?

She went through the same thing, but she wasn’t at all upset.

Unbeknownst to her, Lucas had almost gone the entire night without sleep.

Cordy had no idea what mischief her hands were up to after she fell asleep, with her fingers crawling all over his body…

Any man would be in shambles!

Even so, Lucas bore with it the entire night; it was morning when he succumbed to his drowsiness and fell asleep.

However, the doctors doing their rounds entered just as he closed his eyes.

He had to work so hard to restrain himself from flipping out!

Next time, he would never allow his conscience to get the better of him. He certainly asked for it!

As he pulled his blanket over himself and went to sleep, Cordy stayed silent despite her annoyance at his outburst. She quietly picked up her phone to check the time.

She must admit that she had slept very well last night; even though she was woken abruptly, she felt reinvigorated—something she never felt for a long time.

It even felt better than sleeping at her shrink's office.

Her heart skipped a beat; she couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Lucas.

To think that she slept so well, hugging him at that…

"Keep staring at me, and I’ll gouge your eyes out!" he suddenly barked.

F*ck!

Cordy really wanted to spit an expletive.

Did he have eyes growing over his back? How could he tell that she was watching him?!
