A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 66
Cordy's heart skipped a beat. She would be lying if she said she was not emotional.Even so, she composed herself and asked quietly, "But you'd do that for anyone, won't you?"As in, he would sacrifice himself readily for all his women!"Just you," John declared solemnly."Are you saying that I'm special?" Cordy asked.John raised a brow, clearly sensing that it was a loaded question.Before he could answer, however, she changed the subject since it was his private life. And she was in no position to ask. "Why did you suddenly show up at the production plant?" she asked."Walter told me that you were going. I was worried you'd get hurt, so I went for a look." John replied. "And I made it just in time."Otherwise… John did not want to imagine how terrible he would feel if it was Cordy lying in this bed instead.His gaze turned cool right then."My father put them up to this," Cordy admitted. "He never wanted me in charge of Starstream Group, and he gave me as much trou

And then there was the fact that John was so perfect, Cordy almost found him unreal.Nonetheless, she went to the other table and had a warm bowl of cereal, which relieved her stomach considerably.Moreover, she had been too busy lately to sleep probably, and drowsiness overcame her after she finished her food.Reclining against the couch in the ward, she soon fell asleep.She only woke up after night arrived, and someone had put a blanket over her without her knowing."You're awake." John's deep, alluring voice spoke just then, startling Cordy—she almost forgot where she was.John's lips curled into a smile in turn, finding her reaction adorable.Cordy blushed awkwardly and got off the couch, working hard to look calm and composed.She glanced at the clock in the ward to find that she had been sleeping for over three hours.She was supposed to be caring for the patient, but she slept more soundly than said patient."Do you need the washroom?" she asked offhandedly to try to

It took Cordy considerable effort to help John back to his bed.He was staying in a VVIP ward, though it was more apt to call it a suite. Nurses and rehab staff were waiting for orders in the living area, while Cordy was alone with John in the bedroom.Randy his assistant, was nowhere to be seen.And things suddenly got awkward as they were alone together. "Would you like some fruit?" Cordy asked, just to say something. "Yeah."She glanced at the fruits in the room and asked, "Apple?""Sure.""Okay."Cordy picked up an apple, washed it, and started peeling it.She was no fan of fruits and basically kept none at home. Moreover, she had been busy during her time abroad, at Jessop Corp, and now at Starstream Group. She never had time to peel fruits for herself, and the apple certainly left a mess.She awkwardly looked up at John and saw the obvious smile in his eyes as he asked, "Are you done?""If you don't mind," she said, and gave it to him.John stared at it before comm

It took Randy a long while to finish feeding John, and he fled the room after.Still, he did not forget to kindly lock the door behind him.Cordy glanced at the clock and saw that it was already 10 pm. She should be heading home. But just as she was about to speak, John suddenly said, "Please wipe my body."As she turned toward him, he continued, "The doctors told me that I should not bathe."She certainly knew that—but was it appropriate for her to do it?!"I'm not used to being touched by other men," John explained then, and Cordy quickly remembered that all the rehab staff were men too."I don't think I can sleep feeling dirty," John said. "Please."Cordy took a deep breath right then. It was always good manners to repay a favor, and she owed John more than a favor this time.Thus, she headed to the bathroom, filled a bucket with warm water, and soaked a towel before returning to him."Close your eyes," Cordy said. "I'll start with your face."John did as he was told,

As such, Cordy promised him, "I'll come tomorrow when I'm finished with work.""Sure," John replied, grinning without going through the motions of being polite.He was just… sly!After Cordy left the hospital, Randy entered the room, groveling. "Mr. Levine.""Help me to the washroom," John told him."But you had the perfect chance… Why didn't you ask the missus to help?"John shot him a look.Cowed, Randy quickly corrected himself. "Oh, you're always straightlaced, sir. You'd never mess around."John scowled even harder—he just did not want Cordy to think that his kidneys were weak if he went to the washroom one too many times. As Randy helped him to the washroom, John paused. Randy quickly offered, "Should I help you with your pants, sir?"He had certainly lost John's 'affection' ever since John became lovesick.However, he was still a bootlicker when it was necessary, and he would always do so when the opportunity presented itself."Get out!" John snapped.Randy cring

Keeping his temper in check, Simon asked, "What do I have to do for you to accept a private settlement?"Cordy sneered. "Why are you so eager to settle it privately? I'd be half-dead if John Levine didn't take that blow for me.""I know you suffered, but I'm doing this for Starstream Group," Simon said, his tone turning soft gradually. "It's going to affect the company negatively if this gets out, and we're still family, right? I naturally feel sentiment for Starstream after working there for so many years—I don't want our scores of employees to get hurt over this."Cordy sneered again—despite Simon's pretty words, he was just afraid that they would connect the incident to him.Still, she relented. "Well, since you've put it that way, it's not as if I can't settle it privately.""Really?" Simon was clearly thrilled."But I have several conditions.""What conditions?""Firstly, the culprit must cover all of John's medical expenses, including the fee for his medication, his hospi
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 72
Noel had called Simon immediately after she left Cordy's office before driving straight to the hospital where John was staying.She had certainly been waiting for this day.Without any chance to get close to John and worried that she might repulse him, she now had the perfect excuse to approach him after he was hospitalized.And when it came to men, she had always bewitched them with relative ease.She knocked on the bedroom door and entered, a bouquet of flowers in her hand and a bright smile on her face. Seeing the man who was ridiculously handsome even as he lay in bed, she greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Levine."John, however, was looking at her coolly, so she quickly introduced herself. "I'm Noel Sachs, Cordy's sister.""Same father, different mother," John added.It left Noel feeling a little awkward, but she soon regained her composure. "You see, my sister is busy, so she sent me here to visit you. Also, allow me to apologize on behalf of Starstream Group after one of the wor
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 73
Noel was left frozen stiff for a moment, but she quickly changed her expression, looking miserable and teary-eyed. "I'm so sorry," she said. "I didn't know you were allergic to lilies—I'll be careful next time.""I'm not allergic to lilies—I'm allergic to you," John said icily, every word a threat. "Just be careful not to show your face around me."Noel's face abruptly turned pale.She could not believe what she was hearing!No man had insulted her like that ever since she was a child, because they all loved her shy, delicate nature…It must be Cordy's fault! John must have said that for her benefit! Still, Noel withstood her distress and picked up the bouquet of lilies before running out of the ward.Cordy watched as Noel left, and she must admit that she felt a little exhilarated.Boys would hover around Noel ever since they started attending school, and Cordy had no idea why they all liked Noel so much.Did the scent of hypocrisy not stink enough? In fact, Cordy felt
