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.

His heart would race just from remembering Cordy, and he would feel a terrible yearning to see her and the impulse to keep her constantly by his side.

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

This was an obsession of a lifetime, which was why he was determined to break up with Nana-it was better to be hurt for a moment than forever, and he was certainly reluctant to be hesitant, which would only cause more damage in time.

Still, he could admit that he felt like he owed Nana, and he decided he would not refuse her if she ever came to him for help-but he refused to be coerced into staying in this relationship.

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.
