A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 74


    Chapter 74


    Cordy stayed in John’s ward, keeping himpany while working on herptop-there was still a lot of


    work to do.


    She was so engrossed on asion that she did not hear what John was saying.


    Still, he did not disturb her, even picking up an apple nearby and starting to peel it.


    Randy Martin was just passing by when he happened upon the scene, his jaw dropping right then! Who


    was the patient there?! To think that his boss was quite the domestic goddess!


    Still, he quickly fled, afraid to disturb them just then.


    Meanwhile, Cordy was still reviewing several letters asking for instructions. Then, she suddenly spotted


    the te of peeled apple slices beside herptop, and each had a toothpick as a skewer. She picked


    one up and ate it offhandedly.


    It had been a while since she had apples, and she almost forgot that they could be so sweet.


    And after the first slice, she took a second, her eyes fixed on the screen… until she realized something


    unusual while eating.


    There was just her and John in the room.


    And if she did not peel them, it would be…


    Abruptly looking up, she saw John sitting in his bed and smiling at her.


    “You peeled these?” she asked.


    John shrugged. “Who else would’ve?”


    “Aren’t you the patient here?”


    “I’m not missing any limbs.”


    Did they not just agree that she would take care of him? And was he not just saying yesterday that he


    had no strength in his hands?!


    She then remembered that she basically put chunks of apple yesterday into his mouth, instead of


    cutting the apple into slices like these to make it easier to eat.


    No matter how she thought about it, she was being perfunctory rtive to him.


    “I actually don’t like fruits,” she told him, switching gears just then to exin herck of attention to


    detail.


    “I can tell.” John nodded, his eyes still fixed on the te of apples in front of Cordy, where just the two


    smallest slices were left now.


    “That apple tastes special.” She tried toe up with another exnation for eating so much


    nheless.


    “Well, it’s an honor that you love…” John grinned before finishing, “my apples.”


    That was not what she meant! She absolutely did not find the apple special just because he peeled it!


    Still, she took a deep breath, suddenly realizing that she was not going to exin herself.


    Pursing her lips, she simply turned back toward herputer screen, focusing on her work once


    more.


    “Could I ask a question?” John said just then.


    Cordy happened to be more or less done with the tasks she had on hand, and she just had to wait for


    Simon to hold up his end of their deal.


    “What is it?” she asked, turning toward him.


    “Why were you suddenly being distant after I left on that business trip?” John asked, his tone suddenly


    serious.


    Cordy was once again surprised.


    He had never asked about that until now, as if he did not care.
