Chapter 892
A Life Debt Repaid
At that very moment, Cordy held on tighter to John by instinct, not willing to let him leave and go to Nanaâs side.
Johnâs fingers twitched in turn, naturally sensing the pressure in Cordyâs touch.
However, he didnât push her away.
He could never do it.
âLucas, weâre getting married soonâ¦â Nanaâs voice remained soft and feeble, as she calmly told them about reality with an expectant look in her eyes.
Even so, John refused to go to her.
He wanted to stay with Cordy, and love her and her alone for the rest of his life.
Be it before and after his amnesia, or after he regained his memories, he only ever loved Cordy.
All he felt towards Nana was only responsibility-but at a level that could crush him.
Nana, upon seeing that John wasnât coming over to her, and that he wasnât pushing Cordy away and was holding her hand firmly, flashed her usual innocent smile; this time, it carried a hint of reluctance.
She slowly walked towards John, saying, âItâs fine. If you wonât come back to me, Iâll come to you.â
Nana stopped right in front of him, and tried to pull Cordyâs hand off him.
However, Cordy stubbornly held on tighter to John.
No one could make her let go-be it Nana or anyone else!
Nana, who was enfeebled in the first place, couldnât muster any strength to her wrist.
She gave up, and said, âLucas and I are engaged, Cordy.â
âYou forced him.â Cordy looked her in the eye without flinching.
âYouâre imagining itââ
âYou know very well who he loves. novelx.o Feelings canât be forced, and coercing him like this wonât make you happy.â
âThatâs my business, and itâs not up to you to teach me! And donât you think itâs inappropriate that youâre holding on to my fiance like this?â Nana snapped, irony lacing his tone.
âFiance?â Cordy scoffed. âDo you know who he actually is before that?â
âI donât have to know,â Nana retorted stubbornly. âFor me, Lucas will always be Lucas, even if he changed. And he will be with me for the rest of my life!â
âWhat if I told you I insist on taking him with me?â
âYouâd never be able to,â novel.xo Nana said staunchly and confidently, even reaching out to take Johnâs other hand as she did. âLucas, you just promised to sleep with me. You shouldnât break promises.â
Nana started to pull him along; yet he refused to budge, seemingly having made his choice.
Nana laughed despite herself, finding herself laughable.
So he refused to novelxo care if she died even if she did it for his sake, and would rather stick to Cordy?
Was everything she did pointless to him?
No.
She never lost once when it comes to claiming ownership of everything and anything she desired.
It was no infatuation she had towards Lucas-she was madly in love with him, and therefore would not allow anyone to take him away.
She said very slowly and clearly, â Lucas, do you really want to watch me die?â
John reacted ever so slightly to that, and Cordy felt it too.
âDonât you think itâs despicable, novelxo threatening him with suicide?â she snapped.
âNo, because Iâm not joking around.â Nana smiled with considerable composure. âOn the other hand, are you willing to lay down your life for your love?â
