A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 470

In the middle of the quiet meal, John’s phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller, and his expression twisted slightly.

“It’s Grandpa.”

Gordy’s eyes twitched slightly, but she continued looking down and eating her breakfast. John would take it outside and away from her hearing range if it were a private call.

After all, that’s what happened every time Jessica called.

“What is it?”

After a moment, a hint of panic flashed across John’s face.

Cordy wondered what had happened that could cause John’s mood to change so drastically. She could see his hand holding the phone had also started to shake.

His eyes also seemed to have reddened.

“Okay. I got it.”

John put his phone down and sat silently for a long time, his eyes staring at nothing in particular.

“What happened?’ Cordy finally asked.

What had overwhelmed John to this state?

“Jay, he… there’s been an accident,’ John said, clearly trying his best to control the emotions in his voice.

Cordy felt her heart get stuck in her throat.

Judging by the look on John’s face, it was not a minor accident.

“Last night, his car rolled off the mountainside at eleven. It was a completely different slope than the one your accident was at. They only managed to rescue him at five this morning. He’s still in critical condition at the hospital right now. They’re not sure if he’ll make it.”

John sounded choked up, and he was clearly struggling to keep calm.

Cordy was anxious then, and she didn’t know what to say, much less how to comfort him.

“I have to go back,” John said bluntly.

Cordy nodded. ’I’ll go with you-”

“No, stay here for now. It’s safer than North City,” John said firmly.

Cordy moved to argue but ultimately decided to accept his words. She didn’t want to start a fight at this time with John.

“I’ll be back as soon as possible.’

“It’s fine. I’m alone here, so I have plenty of freedom,” Cordy said honestly.

She also didn’t want Jay to miss out on seeing Jay because of her. What if…

Cordy felt her stomach lurch at the thought and didn’t want to think any further than that.

Jay still had a fighting chance as long as the hospital tried to save him.

Besides, medical technology had advanced a lot in modern days, so it was highly likely that Jay would live.

John didn’t say anything more. He didn’t bother eating another bite of breakfast and left directly.

Cordy didn’t have much appetite left after the news either, so she picked up her phone and crutches before heading to the back garden to sit.

News of Jay’s accident weighed heavily on her mind.

She had set Jay up before but still hadn’t apologized for it!

Opening a browser, she looked through the news to find nothing on Jay’s accident.

Perhaps his family had kept the information under a tight lid and didn’t want to deal with the media.

In that case…

Did Zoe know about it?

After hesitating for a few moments, Cordy decided to let it be.

Zoe had already gotten together with Bob, so Cordy didn’t want to disrupt their happiness. Besides, Bob had a close friendship with Jay, so he would know soon. If his heart were in the right place, he would tell Zoe. If not, Cordy should respect his decision since it was not her place to interfere in the couple’s relationship.

It was best to leave that decision to them.

Cordy took a deep breath and thought about Jay’s life and current situation…

Wasn’t God a little too cruel to him?
