A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 68

Chapter 68

It took Cordy considerable effort to help John back to his bed.

He was staying in a VVIP ward, though it was more apt to call it a suite. Nurses and rehab staff were all out waiting for orders at the living area, while Cordy was alone with John in the bedroom. Randy-his assistant-was nowhere to be seen.
