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.

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.
