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.
