A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 832

Richard was stunned when he turned to look at his mother.

Her eyes were so red… Was she crying?

Nonetheless, Cordy's phone started to ring just then, and Cordy blinked back her tears.

Seeing the caller, she answered it. "What is it, Patrick?"

"Are you in the capital at the moment? Could you come get me at the airport? I lost all my identification and luggage, and I have nowhere to go."

Patrick actually sounded hysterical.

Still, Cordy frowned. "What are you doing here?"

"You're here, aren't you? Wherever you go, I'll be there."

While Cordy was speechless, he quickly said, "Alright, let's save the banter. Just come to the airport—I'm waiting."

Cordy sighed lengthily, but she ultimately took a cab and headed to the airport with Richard to get Patrick.

Soon, when they were all in the cab, a speechless Cordy asked, "How did you lose everything?"

Even Patrick was speechless as he explained, "I left my luggage at Rocktown Airport and forgot to check it in. As for my certifications, I remember heading to the washroom, and then not remembering where I put it. I couldn't find it anywhere I went, and told the airport staff about me. They can't find anything either, but assured me that they will keep looking and call me when they find it."

Cordy really wanted to curse out loud. She growled through her teeth, "Why didn't you get lost, then?"

"It's not all my fault." Patrick threw his hands up. "I had to work overtime for three days, including working all the way to midnight yesterday just to take a week off and come visit you. My whole head is still muddled, and I'm still in a blur right now. I'd never notice it even if you sold me off."

"How much would you be worth anyway?" Cordy snapped.

"What do you mean? I'm bi, so I'd be worth more," Patrick said a little smugly.

'Goddamned pervert.'

Cordy took Patrick to her hotel and helped him check-in with electronic certification—he would be sleeping on the street otherwise.
