A Life Debt Repaid By Cheng Xiaocheng Chapter 246


    Chapter 246


    “After that, the fire broke out and you were trapped in it. I saw Kyle saving Noel


    and leaving you behind,” John said with pursed lips. “I rushed in and got you


    out.”


    Cordy was surprised at that revtion. She had always assumed a fireman had


    saved her, as she vaguely remembered her savior was dressed in a fireman’s


    uniform.


    “I grabbed a helmet from a fireman near me. I was afraid I’d choke on the smoke


    and die before I could get to you,” John exined as if he could read her mind.


    Enter title…


    Cordy looked down. She suddenly remembered the first time she had seen John


    in the hospital, and how his wrists were heavily bandaged.


    “You’ve exined a lot…” Cordy turned to look at John, her eyes reverting back


    to their usual coldness. ‘Why did you treat me so kindly? We were just strangers


    who met by chance, and I’ve done many things to hurt you. Why would you like


    me?”


    Cordy couldn’t believe him.


    It was hard for her to trust anyone.


    Sheughed softly and continued, “Don’t say something like it was love at first


    sight. You’ve seen so many beautiful and outstanding women, Mr.


    Levine. How could you have fallen in love with me at first sight… Or rather, first


    night, I guess. Why would you be so hell-bent on me?”


    “That night was fantastic,” John replied bluntly.


    Cordy bit her lip.


    “And yes, that was my first time,” John added.


    “I didn’t think you would be such a conservative person,” Cordy shot back.


    “It just so happened that I am,” John replied, looking straight at her.


    Cordy’s heart skipped a beat.


    “Maybe it was years ago-” John started, but Cordy cut him off.


    “I don’t want to hear any more of your so-called exnations. What you said may


    or may not be true. To me, the day your grandfather announced your


    engagement was the end between us. It’s pointless to say anything else.”


    “Is it really useless?” John’s eyes seemed to have reddened.


    “Yes.”


    Listening to his exnations would only prologue this farce, instead of settling it


    all at once.


    Anyway, it wouldn’t change the final oue between them.


    “Maybe it feels like I’m being selfish, but logic and rationale tell me that you and


    Jessica grew up together. It’s natural for both of you to get engaged and


    eventually marry. I only happened to be the woman who forced you to sleep with


    me, then abandoned your son and left, and now you’re only getting your revenge


    on me for being irresponsible,” Cordy told him bluntly.


    “I said I’d break off my engagement with Jessica,” John said, a hint of tremble in


    his voice. “It’ll only take six months. Is it so hard?”


    He was probably starting to get angry. After all, Cordy was being extremely

    stubborn.


    But after going through what she had experienced, it was hard for her to trust


    anyone with her heart.


    She would rather miss the chance than trust him.


    “It’s not, but I’m not obligated to wait for you. Maybe you’re right. I’m not someone


    who epts things lying down, and I can go against powerful forces with my own


    power whenever they try to push me down. However, the feelings between us


    aren’t deep enough that I’d be willing to be


    fearless for your sake. Also, you’ve done nothing to prove that I can trust you


    unconditionally.”


    Cordy shook off John’s hand and took out her phone. Casually flipping through


    the news articles, she saw that they were all about the affectionate disys


    between John and Jessica.


    “Look at this! All of it is enough to make my trust in you disappear!”
