A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 74

Cordy stayed in John’s ward, keeping him company while working on her laptop-there was still a lot of work to do.

She was so engrossed on occasion that she did not hear what John was saying.

Still, he did not disturb her, even picking up an apple nearby and starting to peel it.

Randy Martin was just passing by when he happened upon the scene, his jaw dropping right then! Who was the patient there?! To think that his boss was quite the domestic goddess!

Still, he quickly fled, afraid to disturb them just then.

Meanwhile, Cordy was still reviewing several letters asking for instructions. Then, she suddenly spotted the plate of peeled apple slices beside her laptop, and each had a toothpick as a skewer. She picked one up and ate it offhandedly.

It had been a while since she had apples, and she almost forgot that they could be so sweet.

And after the first slice, she took a second, her eyes fixed on the screen… until she realized something unusual while eating.
