A Life Debt Repaid

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.”

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