Semua Bab A Life Debt Repaid: Bab 991 - Bab 1000

The Lynds definitely would’ve come up with a plan to trap the Cranstons in the fire, and Cordy must acknowledge their cunning wit to cover up their conspiracy with an accident.Neither Sean nor Cordy would’ve expected them to go all out like this, even though they have prepared themselves for the danger they knew they would face when they came here.Nonetheless, Cordy gritted her teeth in determination—now was not the time to worry about others, not when she had no idea if she was going to make it out herself.With the path ahead blocked by the inferno, neither John nor herself could go anywhere.Coupled with the ever-growing fire, they would either suffocate from the smoke or be burnt to death.But just as Cordy hesitated, John said determinedly, "Let's make a run for it."She turned and gave him a look, he assured her, "Our clothes are wet. It won't burn."As Cordy bit her lip, he added, "Keep your head under my jacket. I'll lead you."And with that, John held her hand with g

"Let me down…" Cordy tried to reason with John. "We don't have to die together.""No one's dying," John told her in no uncertain terms. "I saved you once before. I can do it again."Cordy had more to say, but he snapped, "Don't say anything. Save your strength—we’ll survive this."And with those words, she could clearly feel his footsteps picking up pace.She closed her eyes, and stayed silent.She had already troubled him far too much—she really shouldn’t keep dragging him down.And with that, John carried her on piggyback as he charged towards the entrance.Cordy felt her body aching all over, but clenched her teeth to stop herself from crying out loud. She leaned over John's back, hearing his rushed breathing.There were a few times when he seemed to stumble, but he picked himself up again right after.He never wasted a single second.Cordy was almost fainting amidst the fire and smoke, but he still carried her and hurried forward.Just as she was about to lose consciousn

To be honest, Patrick was just so paranoid that he feared the worst would befall Cordy.Seemingly reading his mind, Sean said, "I think I'll wait until Cordy comes out."Patrick nodded in silence—Cordy was just as important to Sean, and Sean would be worried about leaving too…Silence ensued in the walkway, and there was no telling how long had passed.Waiting was like being in hell—every passing second was grilling.Nonetheless, the door to the emergency soon opened, and the doctor stepped out.Patrick and Sean hurried towards him, and he said, "There's no cause for worry—the patient isn’t in mortal danger, and was only comatose due to lowered blood oxygen saturation levels caused by excessive smoke inhalation. We have since treated her for that, and she’s once again conscious. However, her respiratory system suffered serious damage and she has burns all over her body, so she has to be admitted for further therapy and recovery. If you're her family, you should get the paperwork

There was no doubt about what happened back in the banquet hall. With that, Sean continued, "That's why I didn’t stop to gather more proof, and instead called in our people who had been working in the banquet hall undercover to get us out right away. We moved so quickly we were already safely outside before the Lynds could stop us. They had to give up, or they'd be exposed. I then arranged for 'Grandfather' to be taken home, though I soon noticed that you were not around and quickly sent help."Cordy's eyes flashed with anger—there was no question about it now. She wasn’t in the list of people that the Lynds wanted dead, and one could even say that they only wanted Jesse Cranston dead. However, while they wouldn’t go out of their way to target any other individuals, they would welcome the prospect of killing any other Cranston along with Jesse.It was only Nana who wanted Cordy dead. "Just rest," Sean told Cordy. "There's still much to discuss after this. For one, I don't get why

John pursed his lips and said slowly, "I just wanted to check on you, see how you're recovering.""I'm doing well," Cordy replied. "I can be discharged tomorrow, if nothing else happens."Silence ensued after she answered, until Cordy asked again, "How are you doing?""I'm fine.""Nana isn't around today?""No.""I thought she's with you 24/7.""She went home. There seemed to be something back home.""So why are you here?" Cordy asked again.Her patience was almost used up, and she had kept trying to make John talk just to make him open up.However, he ultimately lost."I'm starting to regret it now…" John finally said, his voice exceedingly quiet.Cordy stared at him, unable to understand what he meant."Regret pushing you away," he added.Cordy laughed despite herself. She really was infuriated—what did John take her for, a door to open and close as he liked?"I'm sorry," John apologized. "I thought I could persevere until I resolved everything and return to your sid
