A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 151
A Life Debt Repaid
As Cordy rode the elevator upstairs to her apartment, the doors eventually opened to reveal Zoe leaning against Cordyâs door, her face scarlet.
She was clearly drunk.
Cordy quickly strode up to her. âZoe?â
Zoe was clearly muddled even as she opened her eyes, on the verge of tears when she saw Cordy.
âYouâre finally back.â
âWhat are you doing here?â Cordy asked. âYouâre really drunk, too.â
âShooting ended early today, so I went drinking with some friends,â Zoe replied, her breath stinking of alcohol.
How much did she drink, really?!
âWith Quinn?â Cordy asked.
âNo, sheâs too busy and went on a business trip anyway. I went with other friends⦠Burp! Drinking buddies,â Zoe said, and belched.
Zoe certainly knew that Quinn was not that unreliable.
Still, she quickly opened the door and helped Zoe inside, asking, âWhy didnât you call me if youâre out here?â
âDear John would murder me if I disturbed your date,â Zoe said, and she began to retch.
Cordy quickly helped her to the bathroom, and Zoe started to vomit while clutching at the toilet.
She did so for a long while, clutching her sick belly while Cordy kept rubbing her back. âDo you feel better? I can bring you water.â
âI need a bath,â Zoe suddenly said.
âCan you do it on your own?â
âYeah.â
Cordy quickly filled her bathtub and brought Zoe fresh clothes.
Then, as Zoe was done bathing, Cordy passed Zoe the honey drink she made.
Zoe lay in Cordyâs bed and drank the honey drink, beaming, âI knew youâd take care of me once I get here.â
Cordy smiled begrudgingly-Zoeâs face was pale from all that vomiting, but she was still beaming somehow. âDonât you have plenty of servants to take care of you?â
âThere are people I donât want to see at Levine Manor.â
âHaving a fight with your parents? Or Alan Levine?â Cordy asked in concern.
âNo.â Zoe denied it, but she was not elaborating either, and she simply pulled her blanket over herself. âIâm going to sleep.â
Cordy never liked prying into othersâ privacy either, but just as she rose to her feet to leave, Zoeâs phone began to ring.
Cordy helped Zoe take it out of her bag and handed it to her. âYour manager.â
Though clearly upset, Zoe answered, âLindaâ¦â
âAre you with Jay Parker right now?â Linda asked right then.
Zoeâs heart skipped a beat.
Funny how her heart raced anytime anyone mentioned that man around her.
Still, she calmly asked, âWhoâs feeding you new rubbish this time?â
âSomeone took a photo of you with him!â Linda exclaimed grimly.
Zoe abruptly sat up on bed, startling Cordy beside her.
Cordy watched as Zoe tapped her phone screen in panic and browsed through the latest news.
