A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 601

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.

Cordy wondered how many of them would give up if they knew how terrible the man was in private.
