A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy had to admit, she had fallen straight into Jessicaâs trick.
Despite that, she wouldnât dismiss the fact that Jessica was definitely using Dicky to threaten her.
Turning around in bed towards Dicky, Cordy watched his little face, sound asleep amidst the dim light.
It was a habit she had everytime she was sleeping with Dicky-turning on a soft light so that she could see him in the darkness and tuck him in.
Only a real mother would feel that indescribable bliss when you see a child sleeping peacefully beside her.
Cordy couldnât help caressing his little cheeks once more. She vowed to herself that she would protect her boy, no matter the cost!
Cordy had gotten used to waking past ten oâclock these days, and that was the case the next morning.
Dicky was still asleep since he may have slept too late last night, though he was adorable as ever.
Cordy didnât wake him and carefully got out of bed, limping on her crutch to the washroom to wash up before leaving her bedroom and closing the door behind her.
Still, she only saw the servants were in the living room. It made her a little distracted, and she wondered if John actually came home.
Maybe he was still sleeping?
One of the servants approached her, asking, âWould you like to have your breakfast now, Miss Sachs?â
âLetâs wait a moment,â Cordy replied. âIâll eat with Dicky and John since Iâm not that hungry yet.â
âActually, Mr. Levine is already awake,â the servant quickly told her.
Cordy was surprised, since the man was nowhere to be seen.
The servant in turn explained, âHe returned to his room since neither you nor Master Richard were still asleep, and told me to get him when you woke up. Iâll be going right now.â
Cordy nodded, but soon reconsidered and said, âItâs fine. Iâll go.â
âYes, Miss Sachs.â
In the end, Cordy still felt a little guilty about arguing with John because of Dicky before. Anyway, she also wanted to ask about Jayâs condition.
When she reached Johnâs room and was about to knock, the door turned out to be open.
Cordy didnât hesitate to go in, and found John standing in the middle of the room, his hair wet as if he just showered.
He turned, sensing someone entering, and immediately saw Cordyâs stiffened expression.
She saw Johnâs gaze, and flushed right then.
As she turned to leave, however, John suddenly stopped her. âCordy.â
She bit her lip and kept her back to him.
He said, âWait a moment. I need a favor.â
âPlease get dressed first,â Cordy reminded him.
âYouâre not losing anything here.â
But she was!
Nonetheless, a while had passed and he said, âIâm done.â
Cordy slowly turned to find John in a white bathrobe, draped loosely over his body.
It felt a little flirty, but he wasnât really exposing himself eitherâ¦
âWhat do you need?â Cordy asked.
âSome of the injuries on my thigh were not fully healed. Help me rub some ointment, since itâs quite difficult for me to do it myself.â
Cordy frowned. âWhen did you get hurt?â
âDuring the car crash before.â
âAnd you still havenât recovered yet?â Those were supposed to be flesh wounds, too!
âWhich is why it needs extra care,â John replied, as if it was only natural. âI think I wasnât paying much attention, and it got infected.â
