A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 884

"That's good…"

Patrick breathed a sigh of relief, but soon asked, "How did you get into another accident again? Why is it always car accidents?"

Cordy frowned. She didn’t get into car accidents that frequently… Though granted, she was in the same car with Patrick in the last one.

And the memory was still fresh in her mind…

"Let's sit down and talk," Sean told Patrick.

Patrick shot him a look in turn and snapped unhappily, venting all his frustrations on him right then. "You were in the same car! Why did Cordy get off worse than you? Were you even protecting her? And you call yourself her cousin?!"

"It happened in a matter of seconds. It was too fast for anyone to react," Cordy immediately defended Sean.

Not to mention, she didn’t want anyone to protect her with their lives.

"I’d definitely have protected you properly if I was in the car," Patrick said assuredly.

"As if I didn't have an accident when I was with you before," Cordy exposed him right then. Her injuries at the time were no worse than his.

"I mean, I hadn't fallen for you at the time," Patrick argued, then added ambitiously, "Hell, that accident was the moment I realized I was in love with you—"

"Zip it," Cordy snapped, cutting him short.

"Right. There's people here, so I won't say too much." Patrick winked at her.

Cordy pretended not to see it, and turned to ask Sean, "What do you think caused this accident?"

Sean actually came here wanting to discuss this very thing with her, but was surprised that Patrick had arrived so quickly—he must have hurried here once Sean texted him.
