A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 753

The world turned quiet, with everyone staring agape at Lucas…

And then…

Utter embarrassment!

Things became extremely awkward in the room.

"Return me my sheets!" Lucas said through gritted teeth.

Cordy immediately did so.

Lucas covered himself angrily, pulling the sheets over his head.

"That is… very normal," the doctor said, trying to ease the tension in the room.

Cordy's face blushed.

"Why is everyone still standing around here?!" Lucas yelled through the sheets.

The doctor immediately snapped back to reality. "It's fine. We'll leave right away."

"Hurry up!" Lucas rushed them unceremoniously.

"Patient's next-of-kin, do try to talk to him," the doctor reminded Cordy before leaving hastily with the nurse.

"I will. Thank you, doctor," Cordy said with a tinge of awkwardness in her voice.

The doctor and nurse left the ward.

Cordy looked at Lucas wrapped up in his cocoon and said, "Come on out."

"Don't bother me."

"The doctor has already said that it's normal."

"I know full well if it's normal or not. Don't talk anymore!" Lucas yelled harshly.

Cordy could understand why Lucas was unable to accept what happened just now.

What was more, he was such a proud man.

Cordy said nothing more and left Lucas' bedside.

Silence ensued in the room once more.

When Lucas was finally unable to tolerate the silence, he crept out from below the sheets.
