A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 719

"Cordy!" Nana appeared excited to see Cordy, perhaps surprised that she would run into her at the hospital.

Cordy had wanted to get out of the elevator immediately and take the next one, but that plan failed.

"What a coincidence," she replied.

"It is!" Nana exclaimed chipperly. "What are you doing here?"

"Just a little cold."

"You too?" Nana was surprised. "Lucas too—he had a fever and a cold, and his temperature was 103 when I checked. He refused to come to the hospital despite that, and I had to force him to come here. See? His face is as red as a beetroot."

Cordy turned toward Lucas, who quickly turned away.

He was as proud as he always was, though his cheeks were ridiculously red.

Cordy snickered since it was really funny, but he saw her reaction.

Narrowing his eyes and returning her gaze, he snapped, "Do you think you're any better?! You're redder than me!"

Cordy was left speechless—the man really could hold a grudge.

"Why are you being so rude to Cordy?" Nana demanded, slightly disgruntled.

"No, that's how I usually talk." Lucas denied it right then.

"No, you were. She's our cousin, so you shouldn't talk to her like that or I'm getting upset," Nana said.

Her voice was sickly sweet, and her words sounded more like flirting than a warning.

"Fine." Lucas gave in reluctantly.

The elevator soon arrived, and Cordy stepped out first, followed by Lucas and Nnaa.

However, Cordy somehow managed to put some distance between herself and them even though she was not walking particularly quickly.
