A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 761

"Lucas." Nana could not hold herself back and called out to him.

Lucas turned around and said, "Let's go back to the ward."

"Do you blame me?" Nana asked.

"I don't," Lucas said.

"But you're not happy," Nana looked at him, "Lucas, I love you too much. Just a twitch of your face and I know what you're feeling. Are you upset that I asked you to keep your distance from Cordy?"

"No, I'm not." Lucas denied.

"Are the three years we spent together no match for Cordy, whom you just got to know?" Nana became increasingly agitated as tears tumbled down her cheeks.

Lucas looked at Nana and said, "I just don't want you to go against your conscience because of me."

Nana's eyes shifted, not truly comprehending what Lucas meant.

"Cordy didn't push you down, did she?" Lucas questioned her, but his tone was firm and filled with certainty.

"Do you really trust her so much?" Nana asked, on the brink of collapse.

"It's just that I'm clear of her character…"

"You've only just gotten to know her. Why do you trust her so much? We've known each other for so many years—why don't you believe me instead?" Nana questioned him. "Am I so terrible in your eyes?"

Nana became so agitated that her pale face flushed red.

She even sounded short of breath.

Lucas noticed her state and gentled his tone. "Let's forget about what happened today. There really is nothing between Cordy and I. You're overthinking things."
