Semua Bab A Life Debt Repaid: Bab 1031 - Bab 1040

Cora could not accept reality at all and was still yelling after Bob maniacally to justify herself. "I never did anything wrong! Zoe owes me that much! But now, every single one of you is hurting me!"Yes.She was not at fault.They were all at fault! Even so, Bob seemed not to hear her hysteria and left without looking back.Cora bit her lip.No. She had no regrets! She refused to regret what she did today! Never!-After leaving Cora's ward, Jay had headed to a quiet corner in the hospital, making arrangements in an orderly manner.Bob quietly walked up to Jay and waited in silence as he stood beside Jay.After around half an hour, Jay finally hung up and turned to Bob.As the men traded glances, Bob spoke first. "Sorry. I was the one who brought this on Zoe."Jay shook a head—this was not Bob's fault at all.It was Cora, who never once let go of the darkness plaguing her heart.He thought she could slowly change with everything he had done for her, but it turned o

Zoe turned to look at Jay to see the nonchalant look on his face and could not help asking, "You're really not afraid that Nancy is upset, are you?"Jay turned to look at her. "Are you?"Zoe shook her head and said flatly, "I used to care before, but I think I'm over it now.""So why should I be afraid?" Jay asked her with a smile.The way he put it… it was as if he would worry if she did and would not if she did not.But had he not been reliant on the Levines for years?Even if the Levines were no longer involved in commerce, their wealth and estate was immeasurable, and no one would challenge them for no reason. Naturally, Jay had gathered enough influence to himself by now, so the Levines could not do anything to him.Zoe just did not peg Jay for being such an ingrate."Don't worry over nothing," Jay said then, patting her head. "I never owed the Levines."He could read her mind as usual, though Zoe was pursing her lips.She certainly did not want Jay to ignore his conscie

Zoe looked at Jay in turn, her heart racing for some reason.She began to tense up, as she suddenly had this feeling that Jay had been hiding a lot from her.She just had no idea what it was…Jay turned back toward the journalists then.They had been getting restless again a moment ago but were once again tame like a puppy, even keeping their breaths silent as if worried that Jay would stop talking if they disturbed him.He certainly had everyone on tenterhooks, but the man himself remained calm and unhurried.He said, "As everyone would be aware, I was adopted into the Levine family by Alan Levine. However, the truth is…"Jay gulped.It was a very well-hidden secret that only Alan and his biological mother knew, but he eventually found out.The ever-intelligent John found out later as well, and eventually the whole family.And now, the entire nation would as well…Even so, Jay's voice remained even. "I am Alan Levine's illegitimate son.""What?!"All the journalists prese

Zoe felt as if her heart was stabbed just then too.She had always been convinced that Jay never loved her, that Jay was only being nice to her to win points with the Levines so that he could continue to live with them in wealth and glamor.She never thought that Jay's obedience came from his desire to stay with her, even though he was always so withdrawn and aloof.Naturally, she had even less reason to expect that Jay had been rejecting her because he believed they were biologically related. And he never told her… because he was worried it would hurt her?It just might be true, because she would rather hate him than accept that a love between them was impossible!"I used to doubt Alan," Jay continued then. "I was sure that he just didn't want me to be with Zoe since I was adopted and lacking in status to marry her. That's why I had been sneaking off with his genetic material to perform paternity tests, doing one after another until I finally gave up on hoping… and became convi

Jay then continued, "Somehow, destiny granted me yet another boon—the fine gentleman was forced to break up with Zoe because of family reasons… or perhaps it would be more accurate to say Zoe did not want him to be caught in a difficult situation, which would lead to him being disowned like she was. She decided to break up with him and used the excuse that she wasn't over me. I was certainly honored that I could be her love even for one night, to put up an act with her, so that the gentleman believed that we got back together."After the man left, Zoe offered her body to me as reward… though it would be more accurate to say that she just didn't want to owe me."Jay blinked just then as if to recall the bliss of that night. "I could tell that she was not actually willing, that she wanted to do it just to strengthen her resolve to leave the gentleman. Even so, that was the happiest night of my life."However, I had to leave before daybreak the next morning for a film, and Zoe was stil
