A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 953

She was so near, yet he did not dare to reach out to her.

He thought that Cordy was leaving, that she would leave upon being rejected by him.

She had always been a proud woman, and he would rather she stay that way.

She would leave without hesitation at his rejection.

He did not want to see her groveling and doing herself injustice, being so aggrieved for his sake…

Cordy picked up her bag on the table and fished out a folded piece of paper.

She struggled to walk back to John.

She flattened out the piece of paper and handed it to him. "This is the result of the DNA test between you and Richard."

Yes.

She did not want to show him that or tie John to herself this way, but she succumbed to it eventually.

Rather than seeing him leave, she would rather lose her dignity.

She never thought that she would go to such an extent for a man she loved.

After experiencing what she did with Kyle, she thought that she would never fall in love again…

But John was worth it.

Yet, John refused to take the test result from her.

She looked at him, trying to see through his emotions. He was having mixed feelings, struggling within himself but with a tinge of cold heartlessness.

Cordy's eyes were red with unshed tears.

At that moment, she felt like she was making things difficult for John.

She looked down at her feet.

Tears streamed down her cheeks and fell on the sandy beach.

"Don't you want to see it?" Cordy asked.

She held back the overwhelming sorrow in her chest as she spoke.

"There's no need for that," John said coldly.

Cordy smirked.

She could not bring herself to even fake a smile.

She looked up, her face streaked with tears.

John's eyes had turned red too.
