A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 798

The door creaked, and Dicky's voice could be heard as it opened.

"Come in, Lucas. Mommy's not around anyway…"

Just as he finished, he found Cordy seated on the couch and looking utterly pessimistic.

"Mommy?" Dicky gasped in surprise. "When did you come back?"

Why didn't she call him after she did, or went looking for him?

Lucas—no, John—was frowning at Cordy as well, and there was a slight displeasure in his tone. "Why didn't you say anything after you came back?"

Cordy turned towards John, and wondered what he went through that he would make his face into that state.

Her eyes welled with tears, which started to gush quietly; as if a dam had broken.

She wondered for a moment if she would end up using up all the tears she had for the rest of her life.

John was shocked by her reaction—had she always been so vulnerable?

She certainly wasn't whenever they got into fights.

Dicky was shocked too. "What's wrong, Mommy? Please, you're scaring me… Wait, was the test result a dud? That means it has to be an issue with the issue. I never told you, but the last time we're here at the capital, I already did another test, and the result was—Oof!"

Cordy clasped a hand over Dicky’s mouth, and was shaking her head ever so slightly.

A gesture for the boy to keep quiet.

Dicky's eyes widened—why?!

If she knew Lucas was actually his daddy, they should tell him right now so he would return to them…

Still, Dicky soon realized that she might want to tell Lucas alone. Naturally, he had to be tactful about this.
