A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1091

Cordy's outburst left Sean stunned for seconds, but before he could speak, Cordy said, 'Please."

Sean's heart skipped a beat, and he saw Cordy's eyes moist with tears even as she watched him. "Don't stop me if you consider me family."

He really must not, because she did not want to trivialize Sean's sacrifice for her.

"You're not really protecting me like this," Cordy added. "Did you think I'd feel comfortable living on if you died today? There are times when living is no better than dying-l know exactly how that feels because I've been depressed before."

"Just say yes," Patrick suddenly said.

Sean turned toward him in surprise-was he really still siding with Cordy now? Was he not supposed to be head over heels for her?!

Nonetheless, Patrick held Sean's gaze and said, "Cordy's right. She would feel guilty for the rest of her life if you died for her sake. Just say yes."

Patrick knew all too well that Cordy would suffer if she did not try to save John Levine for the rest of her life, and he did not want her to live in such anguish.
