A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 752

“It’s nothing, really. Go back to sleep,’ Lucas said, slightly annoyed.

But if one were to listen closely, he sounded rather breathless.

Cordy did not want to care about him, but Lucas was injured after all. If anything was wrong with him physically… What was more, he was stubborn and would refuse to admit it.

Lucas did not notice what Cordy was doing, so when Cordy appeared by his bedside, he was so shocked he almost leaped from his bed. “Cordy, are you pretending to be a ghost?! Why are you so silent when you walk?”

“Be quiet.” Cordy was rendered speechless by how uptight Lucas was being.

Richard was sleeping; of course she had to be silent.

“What are you doing here at my bedside? Go back to sleep on your own bed, ” Lucas instructed.

Cordy ignored him.

She stared at his flushed face and could hear his rapid, shallow breathing. There was clearly something wrong with him.

“Do you feel hot?” Cordy asked.
