A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 757

Nana stood stunned for a moment before replying, "He's a college classmate whom I got to know from abroad. But because his family is also in the capital just like mine is, we exchanged contact details even though we weren't exactly close."

"Does he know me?" Lucas asked another question.

"He often sees the photos I post on social media." Nana got angrier as she explained. "Lucas, why are you questioning me when I'm supposed to be the one angry at you for not informing me about your accident? Why didn't you take the initiative to tell me about it? If my classmate didn't tell me about it, would you have hidden it from me forever?"

"I've already explained things to you. I didn't want to cause you worry in the middle of the night. What's more, I won't be able to hide it from you. I need at least half a year for my leg to fully recover. I can't possibly hide from you for half a year, can I?"

"Were you even thinking of doing that?!" Nana's face turned red with fury.

"I wasn't," Lucas said in a gentle voice. "It's not a big deal, so I didn't want you going to all that trouble in the middle of the night."

"I'll forgive you this time, but don't do it again," Nana said in all seriousness. "Next time, no matter the time, you must inform me immediately if something happens."

"I will."

"Did the doctor tell you when you can be discharged?" Nana continued pestering Lucas.

She did not seem to realize that there were other people in the ward, and Cordy did not interrupt their lovers' tiff either.

It was only until Cordy's phone rang that Nana finally turned around to see where the sound came from.

Shock flashed past Nana's eyes when she saw Cordy.

Seemingly… just shock.

Cordy quickly answered the call, seeming rather anxious. "How is Grandpa?"

"Don't panic," Sean assured her. "Although we still don't see a stark improvement, his condition isn't getting worse. The doctor says that there's still hope for him."

"That's good." Cordy heaved a sigh of relief.

She was very afraid she would hear bad news.

"Where did you go?" Sean asked. "You're not in the hotel?"
