A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1169

Both Jay and Quinn were left staring at Zoe, speechless.She really could not hide any secret! And John just had surgery.

If his blood pressure spiked or something...

Still, John's face fell for a moment, though he soon calmed himself at the next instant, perhaps convinced that he was hallucinating and was therefore afraid to believe it.

Everyone escorted him to his VVIP ward, where the medical staff settled John in and left after leaving some instructions.

The ward was silent with just a few of them.

Richard spoke up then.He had been sitting silent on the walkway outside the surgery room, overwrought and never chiming in even after hearing that his mommy was left at the altar.

Now that he saw that John was fine, he could not help asking, "Aunt Zoe? You just said that Mr.Stuart left my mommy at the altar.Is that true? They're not married?"

Zoe was just drafting a text to Cordy, unable to help caring about her even though they just had a little disagreement.

It would hurt being left at the altar anyway.She was just engrossed with texting Cordy and updating Cordy on John's condition, looking up when Richard called her.She had to think to realize what Richard was asking and replied, "Yeah, they're not.But things are good right now— your mommy is very strong, so don't worry.A few words of encouragement from me and she's fine now."

"Okay." Richard nodded.
