A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1177

A week passed.

In North City, Cordy took the time to adjust and was more or less back to normal.

Emotions would flare when she occasionally remembered what happened, but the issue was not at all major.

And when she showed up at work, the employees would scarcely dare to act like something happened.

After clearing a load of work for the day, Cordy decided to call Sean after some thought-she was convinced that she could be friends for life with Patrick, even if they could not be husband and wife.

And although Sean had left to soften the blow for him over the week, he never called or texted her, so she had no idea how Patrick was doing.

Soon, Sean answered, though he was clearly drowsy as if he had still been sleeping.

And it was almost 11 AM-since when did he wake up so late?
