A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 898

Nana was frustrated by John’s indifference towards her, but she bore with it since it wasn’t Cordy.

In the very least, John chose her and not Cordy—that alone was enough for her to celebrate for a long while.

Outside the ward, John stood before Dicky, studying his much taller frame and asking, "Were you looking for me?"

"Yeah."

"Is something the matter?"

"I don't want to stay here. Can we go to your room?" Dicky asked bluntly, his contempt towards Nana not disguised at all.

"Okay," John replied, and led Dicky to his ward.

Once inside, he asked, "Want a drink? Or some fruits?"

"No," Dicky replied.

John didn’t force the issue.

Then, Dicky asked directly, "I heard you're marrying Nana. Is that true?"

"Yeah."

"Don't you love Mommy?" Dicky was a little agitated—hearing it directly from his daddy hurt even more.

"Sometimes, adults can't make all their choices."

"What are you talking about? Was that because you were dating Nana first? The truth is that you've been with Mommy for a long time, and you're just amnesiac!" Dicky quickly explained. "You're really my daddy, and I have our parental test results. I'll get it for you if you don't believe me, or we can go to a DNA test center—"

"No, you don't have to."

"You don't believe me?" Dicky asked, depressed.

"I believe you."

Dicky's eyes widened, and saw John nodding in affirmation.

His expression, even the look in his eyes…was just what it used to be, when Daddy was Daddy!

"You remember now, Daddy?" Dicky exclaimed in surprise.

John didn’t respond directly, but he didn’t deny it either.

Dicky knew all too well that it was confirmation, since he grew up in John's care and understood the latter’s personality all too well.
