A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 640

There was a large bruise over Cordy's head too.

While Lucas was hesitating if he should help her to her feet, Richard cried out worriedly from behind, "Mommy!"

He must have heard her fall and rushed up the stairs.

Winston was following the boy and was stunned to find Cordy on the floor and bleeding profusely from her nose. "What happened, Ms. Sachs?! I'll get the family doctor right this instant!"

"Mommy? Mommy? Does it hurt? You're bleeding…" Richard was crouching on the floor, heartbreak showing all over his little face.

Lucas, however, knew that someone as young as Cordy would not suffer much from a fall like that.

Hence, he turned to leave after a brief hesitation.

Cordy hence watched as she went, thinking to herself that she honestly did not want to see that vile man ever again.

She would never reach out to him even if he lived next door!

To no surprise, Lucas never got in touch with Cordy ever since he left North City. They both seemed content to stay in their respective corners, and no degree of misfortune would make them meet again.

And after he was gone, Cordy was hugging the pillows and blankets he slept on every night.

It was freakish, but she really did fall asleep with that scent that was so identical to John's.

Even if she did not sleep soundly, she could at least sleep for several hours each night—a profound blessing for someone who had been insomniac as long as she had been.

However, she never thanked Lucas—any gratitude she felt toward him was nullified on the day he left, when he mercilessly let her fall.

She could not help feeling the impulse to strangle when she remembered she had to go to work with a huge lump on her head as well.

On another note, Cordy received a parcel at home the day after Lucas left, which was strangely addressed to Richard.

She was perplexed, since Richard would always use her name for web purchases.
