A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 940

Having come to an agreement, Cordy did not linger and strode out of Nana's ward.

John and Sean were standing in the corridor, with a great distance between them.

It was obvious they could not stand each other… or to be precise, Sean could not stand John.

"You done?' Sean asked.

"Yeah."

"What did you talk about?" Sean asked in curiosity.

"I'll tell you later. Let's head back for now."

Sean refrained from asking right then and walked over to wheel Cordy away, passing by John who watched them.

Like every other moment he was left watching Cordy left, he clenched his fists…

"Lucas," Nana called out to him just then.

John withdrew his gaze and headed inside her ward.

She watched him and asked, "Don't you want to know why Cordy wanted to talk to me?"

John had been getting quieter around her ever since Cordy showed up, as if he no longer cared about her.

"You'd tell me if you wanted to tell me. It's pointless even if I asked if you don't," John said indifferently.

One could feel how distant he was in the marrow, and any other woman would have lost their mind by now.

Nana, however, remained unaffected. "She told me to let her borrow you for two days. If she can't make you choose her after that, she'll stay away from us forever."

John's fingers twitched slightly, and he asked quietly, "You said yes?"

"You're smart. You should know what my answer was." Nana was not being vague either. "I'm all too willing to have the peace we'd get in return after those two days."
