A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1274

"I'm fine now, Cordy," he said quietly, still enfeebled having just regained consciousness.

Cordy nodded quietly in his arms, tears covering her cheeks as she sobbed.

Naturally, he was not jealous-he just knew that Cordy was embarrassed that she was crying like a baby.

Cordy naturally seized the moment to lean on John's chest, hiding her face there to conceal her tears.

Still, Jesse was a little worried, so John gave him an assuring look and mouthed, "She's just too happy."

Jesse nodded in turn.
