A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 991

John never slowed down—hesitation was pointless at this moment.

With the fire getting from bad to worse, the Cranstons would all have a hard time leaving without rescue.

And since the Lynds had gone so far to set this all up, they would definitely have been prepared for all contingencies—help would never reach them in time.

"Cordy!" John yelled.

Cordy was taken aback.

To be honest, she already lost hope when she picked up the scent of the swirling smoke while still trapped inside.

She simply found no chances of escape, even if she never gave up.

That was when he heard the voice—it was neither Parick nor Sean as she expected, but whoever it was, she had hope now!

And so, she quickly replied, "I'm in here!"

However, before she answered, John had already noticed that one of the toilet cubicles was locked from the outside.

Someone had obviously trapped Cordy inside, and John instantly could tell who it was.

But now wasn’t the time for that—the priority was to get Cordy out!

"Stand aside," John warned her. He didn’t afford her that much time before he kicked the door as hard as he could.

It started to twitch, but it was still not opening.

John kicked the door again, and this time, it opened with a loud bang.

He immediately found Cordy inside, her eyes welling with tears as she appeared obviously helpless, trapped inside on her own.
