A Life Debt Repaid

The moment Cora saw Jay, she broke down.

She stood up from her chair and yelled, “Jay, how could you be so cruel?! Are you happy to see my mom in the emergency room?!”

Zoe furrowed her brows.

She was not very pleased with Cora’s attitude, but she forced herself to remain silent given that Nancy was fighting for her life in the emergency room.

Yet Jay, to her surprise, yelled back, “The fact that your mom is in the emergency room has completely nothing to do with me! If it weren’t because your mom was maliciously attacking Zoe, everything that happened today wouldn’t have happened!”

“I…” Cora wanted to refute Jay, but had no words to say. She only spoke up after a few moments, “But you know that my mom wouldn’t be able to bear the shock!”

‘And so Zoe deserves to be bullied by you because she’s mentally stronger?! Cora, you of all people should know clearly that everything that’s happening to you right now is just because we chose ‘self-defense’!”

But…’’ Cora could not outtalk Jay, especially since she was wrong in the first place. The only thing she could do was to threaten him. “Would you have a clear conscience and remain unmoved if my mom died?’

‘I did not do anything wrong,” Jay said emphatically.
