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.

And things suddenly got awkward as they were alone together.

“Would you like some fruit?” Cordy asked, just to say something. “Yeah.”

She glanced at the fruits in the room and asked, “Apple?”

“Sure.”

“Okay.”

Cordy picked up an apple, washed it, and started to peel it.

She was no fan of fruits and basically kept none at home. Moreover, she had been busy during her time abroad, at Jessop Corp, and now at Starstream Group. She never had time to peel fruits for herself, and the apple certainly left a mess.

She awkwardly looked up at John and saw the obvious smile in his eyes as he asked, “Are you done?”

“If you don’t mind,” she said, and gave it to him.

John stared at it before commenting. “It has personality.”
