A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 999

Both Patrick and Sean were in the ward with Cordy, with Patrick peeling an apple for Cordy and proving too inexperienced, and ended up making a huge mess.

Sean mocked Patrick for it, but he appeared unconcerned despite retorting, "This is my labor of love, performed with my very own hands. No matter how bad it looks, it’d still taste sweet. Right, Cordy?"

Cordy never answered, for she was staring at John, who stood at the doorway.

Sean told her before that his injuries were far worse than hers, so why was he walking around freely when she was still bedridden?

Patrick appeared upset the instant he saw John, however, and demanded, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to visit Cordy."

"That's unnecessary. Just worry about getting better yourself. Why bother about what others are doing?" Patrick retorted, looking utterly possessive.

John glanced at Cordy, but she didn’t respond.

Meanwhile, Patrick was done peeling the apple and sliced it into little pieces, and fed her with little forks.

There were certainly times when Cordy thought Patrick could be quite childish—especially right now, when he deliberately put on a show for John.

Naturally, Cordy wasn’t about to humiliate Patrick; and so, she opened her mouth to eat the apple.

It was actually sweet.

"Is it good?" Patrick asked her.

"Yeah."

"Then have some more," Patrick said; he slowly fed her, one slice after the other.

John simply stood at the doorway, watching their public display of affection for a long while, until Cordy had the last slice.

Patrick then asked, "Want some more?"

"No."

"Do you need the ladies' room? I'll help you get there."
