A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 901

A couple days later, Sean summoned Cordy to Jesse's ICU unit.

To be precise, every Cranston was summoned, but everyone else was kept waiting outside.

Cordy entered the ward with Sean, while the rest of the family watched from the window.

They could clearly see Jesse sitting up, but he kept his back towards them, giving them just a glimpse of his face, but nothing complete.

And because it was Jesse, no one dared to get pushy.

Sean was certainly smart—with this, no one would suspect if the man in the ward was actually Jesse. He resembled Jesse from that angle, and that was enough.

Cordy played along with Sean's plan, and spoke with the fake Jesse in the ICU unit with a somber look.

After half an hour, Sean and Cordy both stepped outside, while Jesse appeared tired and reclined on his bed, looking like he had fallen asleep again.

Once Sean and Cordy were out, the other Cranstons quickly surrounded them.

"How’s Dad doing? What did he tell you?" Paul asked eagerly.

Sean kept a straight face as he said, "He's saying he still feels tired and refuses to meet more people. He told us to relay his word that he is coherent, and we don't have to worry about him or visit that often. Once he's better, he’ll be back at Cranston Hall, so everyone should just go about their business for the time being."

"I want to see him," Paul said eagerly.
