《A Life Debt Repaid》全部章節：第 601 章 - 第 610 章

Lucas’s phone started ringing, and he answered it.After a simple exchange, he got to his feet and headed outside the ward.Cordy looked up at him, about to ask if he was going to leave—there was no way he’d be that nice and stay with her in the ward for an entire night.However, she didn’t ask her question since she saw that he really was in a rush. Whatever—they were ultimately strangers, and he could do anything he liked.Cordy shifted her posture as she read her phone.She basically slept after fainting and catching a high fever, and wasn’t sleepy at all now—it could be yet another sleepless night.Nonetheless, she tapped on her news app. She scrolled through the business section and found nothing of note, and then turned to the entertainment section. It turned out that Lucas actually made headlines since a lot of people were mesmerized by his good looks, with many fangirls commenting their infatuation on the article.Cordy wondered how many of them would give up if they

Lucas turned to lay on his side, keeping his back to Cordy.Cordy followed suit; while she disliked his attitude, his words undoubtedly offered her slight relief.If anything happened between a man and a woman in the same room, she would be the one who stood to lose. As such, Lucas's words gave her a mysterious sense of security.The night was quiet, and Cordy seemed to hear Lucas's breathing assuming a steady, regular rhythm.He certainly fell asleep very quickly; when she thought about it, he really did put himself through the grinder tonight.Thinking about it that way, he wasn’t all that evil—despite his complete reluctance, he ultimately endured it, and somehow ended up as her guardian.Cordy turned around, since she really wasn’t used to sleeping in that posture.When she did, she found that Lucas had already turned as well. In his case, he was sound asleep even as he faced her. It was too dark for her to see his facial features clearly, but that was also the reason why

Lucas froze, caught by complete surprise.Cordy actually kissed him!His heart skipped a beat.What was he thinking?! He was letting a stranger do whatever she wanted with his body!His eyes narrowed, all the sentiment in his eyes vaporizing and leaving only coldness.He had no intentions of sparing Cordy, and so he opened his mouth and bit her heavily on the lips."Ow…"The woman who had been so intent on kissing him for one moment, had her eyes welling up with tears the next.She looked at him, miserably and pitifully.She was at once tender yet seductive, innocent but passionate."Goddamn succubus," Lucas muttered under his breath.She could tug at a man's heartstrings, even though she was just withstanding the pain he gave her.Nonetheless, he pushed her away firmly, only to be given a clear view of her delicate expression; her lips that were now painted red with blood.It was such an alluring sight that no man could resist it. For some reason, Lucas was getting upset.

The night passed; Cordy opened her eyes, woken up by the motion in her ward.She blinked.It had been a while since she felt so terrible waking up, as she was usually wide awake after waking up.On the other hand, she felt like she wanted to sleep in today; she actually slept very well last night. She could clearly tell that she slept soundly for a long while, too.As she opened her bleary eyes, still feeling muddled, she noticed many figures in lab coats filing into her ward. They turned out to be doctors doing their rounds. She answered every question that the doctor leading the group asked her. He didn’t say much and turned to leave, leading the rest out of her ward when he was done.A nurse entered after they left. She took Cordy’s temperature and asked, "Made up with your boyfriend, have we?"It was only then that Cordy realized Lucas was in her bed as well, and hiding himself beneath her blanket.He must’ve done so when the doctors came in, bothering him in his sleep

Patrick’s text popped up right then. [Where are you, Cordy?] [Why were you unconscious?!] [The staff at your hotel informed me that you were taken to the hospital last night! What happened?]Cordy could sense Patrick's agitation from his rapid-fire questions. She texted back: [I'm at the hospital right now because I had a serious fever yesterday. I'm fine now.] [Which hospital? I'll be right there.][I'm getting discharged now.][I’ll give you a ride.][I'm going back to North City right after.][I happen to be going there too. I'll come with you.]Cordy was speechless—the man really stuck to her like a bubble gum. He sent her yet another clingy text: [Just let me come to you, Cordy. I'm worried if you're going alone.]Cordy finally gave in. [Are you done with your business here?] She had no idea why Patrick came to the capital, and actually had the feeling that he might have come to meet her and watch the exhibition in passing. Still, she remembered that Patrick was
