A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 638

Whatever.

Cordy decided to leave the misunderstanding alone, since she did not want her efforts to go to waste, not after she had gone through such lengths to bring Lucas back to the mansion.

-

Meanwhile, Lucas stayed in his bed until noon.

He was unable to sleep after Cordy left.

He was supposed to be absolutely sleepy since he went the whole night without sleep, but somehow could not.

He realized then how horrible it was to lose sleep.

But Cordy somehow went through the same thing for days and nights. How did she survive that?!

Soon, he got out of bed and headed downstairs after washing up and getting changed.

Richard was practicing the piano softly downstairs.

He leaped off the piano and stood when he saw that Lucas was up and walked up to him. "You're up, Daddy!"

"Call me Lucas."

"Okay." Richard nodded tamely—he was going to verify their connection soon enough when he headed to the hospital.

He would make sure that his mommy and daddy knew that he was right.

"Where's your mommy?" Lucas asked casually, but for some reason, his heart skipped a beat.

What the hell?!

"She left. She went to her office since something came up," Richard replied. "She said she won't be staying for lunch since she'll be gone the whole day."

"Really?" Lucas replied flatly.

The more she made herself sound nonchalant, the more he seemed to care.
