A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1098

‘You’ve done your best,” John told Cordy. ’I don’t hate you-no, I’m thankful that you came for me in the end. Promise me that you’ll live well instead of mourning me, and spend your days in happiness with Patrick.

Even so, Cordy’s tears could not stop.

’Go,” John urged her again-any slower and she would not make it.

Cordy bit her lip, but just as she was about to turn away, her bodyguard suddenly said, “Wait.”

Cordy promptly turned toward him, an irrepressible sense of hopefulness igniting within her head and causing her to shudder ever so slightly.

She actually thought she could not take more crushed hopes just then.

’I think the chains are breaking!” the bodyguard exclaimed in surprise nonetheless. “I see a crack. Should I keep trying, Ms. Sachs?”

’Yes.” Cordy nodded without hesitation.
