A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 623

Cordy's chest hurt.

She and John were never married, and he died when they confirmed their feelings for each other.

Lucas was in turn frowning—he did not expect that a casual comment would invoke so much emotion in her.

Nonetheless, it was clear that the so-called 'late friend' was very important to her, and they might have been in love.

His heart somehow started to hurt too, even though he could not quite describe why.

Naturally, he was not actually jealous—it was just his pride gnawing at him.

After all, no woman could ever be indifferent toward him over the years, but Cordy genuinely seemed to be an exception to that rule.

Naturally, he found that a little hard to accept.

"I'm going to bed," Lucas said, headed into the room.

Cordy turned and headed inside her own room as well, even as the pain in her chest unfurled.

She had so many regrets when it came to John that she could never get over them for the rest of her life.

The night was dark and quiet, but Cordy was once again losing sleep, unable to doze off no matter how much she tossed and turned in bed.

Honestly, she should not have held out too much hope—her condition eased that night at the hospital because she could lean into a familiar pair of arms.

Now that it was gone, she could not sleep normally once more.

Three years of insomnia had really been tormenting her, denying her a good night's sleep.

Jim Brown, her psychiatrist, told her that if this went on, her health would be seriously affected—that she must beat this.

However, even after consulting Jim for three years, she was completely unable to fall asleep aside from sleeping at Jim's office.
