A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 268

"Finally! Time for food!"

Zoe said excitedly as she walked up to them.

Cordy felt a little guilty.She knew Zoe had been waiting for them, and hadn't eaten all day because of that.

"Aren't you going to eat, John?" Zoe asked the man who was standing there without moving.

"You worked so hard last night, so you must be hungry.Look, you're even losing muscle mass because of hunger! Come on.I've ordered some soup for you."

Zoe was enthusiastic about it, but John simply stared at Cordy.Just then, his stomach let out aloud rumble.

"Zoe ordered it for you.You should eat before you leave," Cordy finally said.

John had been fighting down a smile, and the corner of his lips quirked up at her reply.

Zoe also had a cunning smile on her face at Cordy's words.

Zoe was livelier than the two, and started pointing out the dishes on the table.

"This is an herbal chicken soup I ordered for you, Cordy.It replenishes your energy and strengthens your kidneys.It also helps with dark circles under your eyes from staying up late at night.You'll be as good as new once you drink it, okay?
