Chapter 721
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy coughed for a long while before she caught her breath, while Nana quickly explained, âIâm sorry, but I was just curious⦠I donât have many friends because of my health, and Iâd like to know more about relationships between men and women. Itâs just-l think my relationship with Lucas is different from others.â
âItâs fine. I just accidentally choked, itâs nothing,â Cordy told her.
âThen⦠Can I ask you about you and your boyfriend?â Nana asked.
âWhat do you want to ask?â
âLike⦠Have you had sex before?â Nana was embarrassed yet stubborn.
âNo⦠Not yet.â
âBut why?â Nana gasped in surprise. âI thought thatâs only me and Lucas⦠I googled about it, and it says that couples tend to do it after confirming their relationship, but Lucas seemed to have no intention of doing it. Thatâs why I thought we had relationship issues, so Iâm surprised youâre the same.â
âI⦠I had some bad experiences before, and we just confirmed our relationship, so itâs not time for us yet.â Cordy came up with an excuse.
âBut Lucas and I have been dating for two years. Donât you think we should have done it already?â
Nana asked seriously.
That should certainly be the case now that society was more open-minded. Once emotions ran high, going fourth base was only natural.
That was especially the case for Lucas and Nana since they were raised in more liberal countries, and yet it seemed that they were both virgins.
Maybe Lucas had⦠issues?
Cordy actually thought it was really possible, until she remembered a certain morning in her mansionâ¦
âAre you blushing, Cordy?â Nana asked, studying her seriously just then.
âEh? Oh!â Cordy felt her cheeks burning, and explained while feeling a little guilty, âNo, itâs probably just the fever.â
âI think your condition is more serious than Lucasâ. His fever mostly subsided after getting IV transfusion,â Nana said, but she soon asked, âDo you think thereâs some issue between me and Lucas?â
âMaybe heâs afraid of hurting you because of your health. Thatâs why heâs restraining himself.â
Cordy believed that to be the most reasonable explanation, considering Nanaâs heart condition.
Sexual intercourse-especially the first instance-might affect the heart, which was why Lucas stopped himself so that nothing bad happened to Nana.
âReally?â Nana was beaming right then. âI thought Lucas didnât love me.â
âDonât worry,â Cordy assured her. âIf a man loves a woman, he would never want to hurt her.â
âOkay, Iâm relieved now that you told me that,â Nana replied. âWeâre getting married soon, so Iâm sure heâll do it afterward. The doctors said that my heart is now mostly normal, and there wonât be any issues if we donât overdo it.â
Cordy nodded in agreement.
âYouâre amazing, Cordy. Thanks for enlightening me, or I might be constantly overanalyzing it,â Nana said earnestly.
âNot really. Iâm just stating facts.â âYeah,â Nana nodded tamely. âI wonât impose now. Iâll go check on Lucas, but just call me if you need anything. Iâll come over.â
âOkay.â
