A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 888

John could’ve stayed indifferent to Nana—if she never tried to save him with his life.

However, if he could stay unmoved when she didn’t hesitate to protect him in the face of a mortal threat, he would be completely inhuman.

And yet, saying yes to her also meant abandoning his previous life.

Cordy's face appeared in his mind at that very moment; he suddenly felt as if he was stabbed in the chest, unable to breathe.

He had regained his memories, suddenly remembering all his past in a split second.

It turned out that he really was John Levine, the same man who earnestly loved Cordy to a fault.

Alas, when he woke up to that fact, he was already someone else's fiance.

When John and Jessica got on that boat rigged with explosives, he fought back once he ensured that Cordy and Dicky were safe.

It turned out that Jessica still had one iota of humanity, despite her terrible cruelty—she didn’t order her bodyguards to die with her, and it was just her and John who got on the boat.

And since it was just two of them, that made things easy.

However, John had underestimated how much Jessica was prepared to die. The explosives triggered the instant he leapt out of the boat, and the shockwave sent him flying into the sea, unconscious.

When he woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar hospital with no recollection of anything.

His family were complete strangers to him back then; though now, he realized that they really were strangers.
