A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 662

He knew that Zoe was afraid of the dark, but because of his leg condition, he wasn't able to move fast.

He held his phone loosely in his hand.

When he heard movement in front of him, he hastened forward.

Before he could reach the source of the sound, he felt someone push him down on the floor.

His phone fell from his hand as he lost balance and collapsed on the ground.

Before he could make any sound, Zoe yelled in pain next to him.

He bore the pain shooting up his leg and grunted.

That was when Zoe calmed down.

He was unable to get up because of his right foot and his walking stick which fell a distance away from him.

He asked Zoe for help to search for his phone.

In the process, Zoe stepped on him a couple of times.

He even suspected that Zoe did it on purpose.

When he heard her walking further away, he thought he was finally safe from her stomping.

Who knew that the next moment, he felt her falling right on his chest.

The impact of her falling on him nearly killed him.

Most importantly, Zoe accidentally kissed him when she landed.

It was a tiny peck that was gone before he knew it.

Yet, it didn't fail to set his heart thumping.

Subsequently, Zoe found his phone which turned out to be wrecked from the fall.

But Jay was rather glad with the situation.

He was glad to be with Zoe.

He found it even better that they were surrounded by darkness.

But, he could sense Zoe's anxiety.

Firstly, she was afraid of the dark.

She also had an entire day of rehearsals scheduled the next day, and she needed lots of rest.

Finally, she probably did not want to be around him at all.

So, Jay offered to help Zoe find her phone.

Yet, when he finally found it, he realized that it was out of battery.

Jay was at his wit's end.

It wasn't that he felt like his efforts had been in vain, but rather, he didn't want to disappoint Zoe.
