A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 838

John woke up in the hospital with the Lynds surrounding him along with a feeble Nana.

The bandages wrapped around her wrists was all too obvious.

Keith had wanted to give John a beating after he woke up, furious that he broke up with Nana and made her try to kill herself, but it was Nana who stopped Keith, putting her body between them despite her vulnerable state.

Even if John was spared a beating, Keith threatened him that if he hurt Nana again, neither him nor Cordy would ever leave the capital, telling him not to challenge the limits of his patience again and to stay at the hospital with Nana.

Nana had lost a lot of blood when she slit her wrists, and the doctors were suggesting that she stay for further observation.

She kept apologizing throughout, claiming that she did not expect such harshness from her father. She kept telling him how he loved her and could not live without him, and she did not want this but just could not control herself.

John never responded, and Nana did not push him.
