A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 679

Cordy went upstairs again after getting another slice of cake. Just as she reached the second floor, however, a ruckus took place downstairs.

Cordy hurried downstairs, presuming that the Lynds were leaving and that she should see them off as well as a gesture of respect. At least, until she heard, "Help! Somebody! Nana's in trouble!"

Cordy's heart skipped a beat—what happened to Nana?

In that instant, she quickly strode downstairs. Just as she did so, Lucas entered from the living room, shoving his way through the crowd and cradling Nana's breathless frame in her arms.

Her cheeks were flushed and her breathing rushed—she looked like she could catch something terrible and die at an instant!

Cordy wondered if there really was something wrong with Nana's health, since even Jesse had been especially concerned about it; as was Lucas.

She appeared very concerned, completely oblivious that she had something to do with Nana's sudden condition.

Lucas cried, "Get an ambulance right now!"

"I already did—a chopper will arrive soon," Nana's brother said anxiously. "I thought she recovered… How did this happen? What's going on?!"

Lucas did a simple checkup on Nana's body, his face dropping when he saw the red spots that had suddenly appeared on her neck.

"Did someone feed her mangoes?!" he asked furiously.

Everyone was left trading glances. Sean said quickly, "No, she didn't. We didn't buy any mangoes today, either—we told the kitchen specifically because we know about Nana's allergy."

"There was that mango cake, wasn't there?" one of the Lynds suddenly said.
