A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 960

"Yeah, I slept too late last night," Cordy said as she forced herself to sit up on the bed.

"Do you need to go back to sleep?" Zoe herself loved her sleep and hated it when people woke her up.

"No," Cordy said. "I'm awake now."

"Oh," Zoe sounded like she had more to say, yet she fell silent.

"What's up?" Cordy asked.

"Nothing much," Zoe replied. She did not know how to broach the subject.

"Just speak your mind." Cordy could see through Zoe in a minute.

Zoe was not one capable of hiding secrets anyway.

Unable to hold it in any longer, she then said, "It seems that Lucas is getting married to that heiress of the Lynd family?"

"Yeah," Cordy replied.

She made herself sound indifferent to it.

"Don't you think Lucas looks a lot like John? Have you ever suspected…" Zoe halted mid-sentence.

Cordy pursed her lips.

She was wondering whether to tell Zoe the truth.

After a moment's hesitation, she said, "I saw John disappear right in front of my eyes."

Since John was not willing to acknowledge his own identity, she had no right to announce it to others on his behalf.

John was nothing but a mere stranger to her, with his affairs having nothing to do with her.

She would no longer talk about him with others from now on.

"But he really… I lived with John for many years and I know very well his expressions and eccentricities…" Zoe tried to be as tactful as she could in expressing her opinion.

"If you really suspect so, you can ask him directly," Cordy said. "To me, John is gone for good."

"I'm just afraid that you two will pass each other by," Zoe said rather agitatedly.

Of course she thought it would be better that John was still alive.

She undeniably had affections for John as family.

When she knew that something untoward had happened to him, she felt terrible.
