A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 65

Chapter 65

Cordy hesitated for a moment, but she quickly followed John into his car too.

“Miss!” One of the police stopped them. “We need you to come with us to the precinct for testimony.”

“Vince, go with the police. Walter will drive you back.”

“Alright. You should go, Ms. Sachs,” Vince quickly said.

Meanwhile, Cordy and Randy helped him into his Maybach.

The car drove straight to the best private hospital in North City, with Randy riding shotgun and calling the Levines’ family doctor.

Cordy was glancing at John from time to time, who was reclining against his seat, his eyes closed and his face turning ever paler.

Where did the steel pipe hit?

Did it break bones?

Rupture organs…?

Cordy did not dare to go any further. She kept her eyes on the car’s GPS, wanting to reach the hospital right then.

Even so, it took them two hours to arrive.

Still, there was a row of doctors in white coats waiting, and nurses quickly helped John out of the car.

When someone touched John, Cordy clearly heard John grunt in pain.

Did it hurt?!

Cordy’s fingers clenched, and she followed the doctors as they wheeled John to the emergency room.

“It’s alright,” John was still assuring her just before he was wheeled inside.

Cordy bit her lip, feeling a mess of emotions towards him.

It had been over a month since he returned from that business trip, and she had been persistently neutral toward him.

She would join him for dinner if Richard was there, but she only talked to Richard throughout while giving him the silent treatment and barely glanced his way.

John was trying at first, but eventually seemed to become accustomed to her cold shoulder, and he became less talkative as well.
