A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 808

Remembering how Hailey had yelled at her the last time around, Zoe decided that she must stop drinking immediately.

Deciding that she needed to stay sober, she excused herself to the washroom.

Unfortunately, she was already tipsy and almost in a state where she wanted to drink more at the moment.

Thus, she needed to wash her face and clear her head.

It took her a while, but just as she opened the door to leave, she found Jay standing outside.

She glanced at him, and then at his cane.

So, that was a permanent disability and not a temporary fracture.

Jay sensed her stare.

So, she knew that he was now a cripple?

He swallowed, but said, "Tomorrow's rehearsal has been canceled."

"What?" Zoe was a little surprised.

"Didn't you check the group chat?" Jay asked.

"Bob's been making me drink, so I didn't notice. When was it canceled, and why?" Zoe asked curiously as she whipped out her phone.

Then, she found the notice that the rehearsal for tomorrow had been called off. Everyone was advised to get rest and prepare themselves, since the rehearsals in the later days would be more important.

Though Jay wasn’t the admin of the group, he was the only one who could make such an announcement.

Putting away her phone, she asked again, "Why cancel it? Aren't we on a schedule?"

"I was drinking tonight. I won't be able to wake up tomorrow."

Zoe stared at him incredulously, actually shocked he would say something like that.

He had always been a workaholic who could go days without food, water, sleep, or a toilet break… And while that may be a hyperbole, he still wasn’t the type who would delay work over personal affairs.
