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?!”

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.

“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’!”
