A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 824

Yelena's wounded look tenderized Jay's heart, and he asked, "Your name is Yelena?"

"Yes, Daddy." Yelena quickly nodded.

"Are you Zoe York's daughter?"

Jay's heart was pounding hard even as he asked it.

He certainly saw Yelena the other night, recognizing that she was the same girl at that restaurant who kept calling him daddy.

Though he appeared nonchalant to see her then, there may well be a maelstrom in his heart.

Zoe had a daughter? If so, who was the father?!

The thought that he might be left Jay almost overwhelmed, and there were times when he wanted to call Zoe and ask, but he did not know what to say.

In fact, the issue had left him troubled the whole of yesterday, only for Yelena to come looking for him.

In reality, he more or less had the answer in his mind, but was still nervous about it nonetheless.

"Yes, Zoe is my mommy." Yelena nodded and noticed the terrible look on his face then. "What's wrong, Daddy?"

Jay's heart had started pounding without control, and he was left clutching his chest in an attempt to control it.

If this continued, he could well die!

"Daddy?" Yelena called out to him tentatively, while Jay kept taking deep breaths.

He was afraid to ask Yelena why she called him daddy, in fear that his heart would be overburdened.

"Please don't take me home, okay?" she asked cutely then. "I came to play with you. Can you play with me, Daddy?"

Jay certainly could not resist her sweet charm, though he soon remembered that Zoe might have a heart attack if she realized that Yelena sneaked out. "I'll tell your mommy first."
