A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 837

However, John knew very well how he felt about Cordy- never had he felt such overwhelming emotion, as if it had been pent-up within him for years and now unstoppable after it had been unleashed.

He had never felt that way toward Nana before, and he understood that he was not infatuated.

That was why he was unmoved despite all of Nana's attempts to convince him otherwise... But when he returned to the hotel afterwards and intended to tell Cordy he was single again, Nana's father called him, saying that Nana had slit her wrist when she got home.
