Chapter 608
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy couldnât help lamenting at how unfair the gods were- why did Lucas still look so attractive when he was clearly so disheveled?!
âIâm warning you, Cordy-donât make a sound while Iâm sleeping,â he snapped tempestuously, before cursing. âF*ck!â
Cordy didnât know why he was being grouchy-what was so upsetting about being woken up?
She went through the same thing, but she wasnât at all upset.
Unbeknownst to her, Lucas had almost gone the entire night without sleep.
Cordy had no idea what mischief her hands were up to after she fell asleep, with her fingers crawling all over his bodyâ¦
Any man would be in shambles!
Even so, Lucas bore with it the entire night; it was morning when he succumbed to his drowsiness and fell asleep.
However, the doctors doing their rounds entered just as he closed his eyes.
He had to work so hard to restrain himself from flipping out!
Next time, he would never allow his conscience to get the better of him. He certainly asked for it!
As he pulled his blanket over himself and went to sleep, Cordy stayed silent despite her annoyance at his outburst.
She quietly picked up her phone to check the time.
She must admit that she had slept very well last night; even though she was woken abruptly, she felt reinvigorated- something she never felt for a long time.
It even felt better than sleeping at her shrinkâs office.
Her heart skipped a beat; she couldnât help but sneak a glance at Lucas.
To think that she slept so well, hugging him at thatâ¦
âKeep staring at me, and Iâll gouge your eyes out!â he suddenly barked.
F*ck!
Cordy really wanted to spit an expletive.
Did he have eyes growing over his back? How could he tell that she was watching him?!
Worst of all, his temper was terribleâshe had a better impression of him for a moment, but it now all went up in smoke!
Cordy turned and kept her back to him, and fiddled with her phone to vent out her frustration.
Her phone rang, but Cordy hung up almost by instinct.
Lucas appeared to shift a little from annoyance, but he didnât say anything as he was almost falling asleep.
Cordy muted her phone and quickly texted Sean: [Is something the matter?]
Sean replied: [Why didnât you answer my call?]
[Iâd rather not talk. My throat hurts.]
[Still having a cold?]
[Feeling better now.]
Cordy refrained from telling him that she was admitted to a hospital, since she could imagine every Cranston coming to visit her if she did.
She wasnât bothered to explain why she was with Lucas if they saw her with him. Most importantly, she didnât want to have to deal with each and everyone of them.
[When are you leaving North City? Iâll give you a ride.]
[Itâs alright. I had my assistant book me some tickets-l can get home on my own.]
[You really donât need me to take you home?]
Sean almost sounded disappointed.
[I promised Jesse Iâd come again next month. You can come get me when the time comes.]
Sean didnât press the issue at that point. [Okay. Take care of yourself.]
[Yeah.]
Cordy tapped out of Whatsapp, but her phone started ringing again.
Cordy hung up, and texted: [Text me instead. My throat hurts -Iâd rather not talk.]
