A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1078

Without another word, the man picked Cordy up and was prepared to leave. "I'm taking her to the hospital!"

"I'm going too," Patrick demanded, leaving the man in a dilemma.

"No." Cordy refused right then.

"Cordy…"

"I'll be right back."

"Cordy!" Patrick's eyes were already red—it was obvious that Cordy did not want him to take the risk with her.

He even knew that she was doing this for his own good.

But he did not need that.

"I can take care of myself—"

"How you feel toward Sean is how I feel toward you. You won't allow him to risk himself, so do you think I would?" Patrick demanded as loudly as he could. "Am I that unworthy of your trust, or have you never considered me your ally?"

Cordy was left stumped by Patrick's words, just as he continued sharply, "Did you think I'd keep on living if you died? Because I'm telling you—I sure won't!"

Cordy pursed her lips, but she had to admit that it was out of her selfishness that she wanted to keep Patrick and was reluctant for him to get involved with danger like her.

Others should never get involved in the Cranston family's affair, but she could understand where Patrick was coming from.

And he was right—if she was reluctant to let Sean face the Lynds alone, would Patrick bear to let her go alone as well, when he loved her so dearly?!

"He's coming with me," Cordy said determinedly then, refusing to hesitate.

Whatever happened soon was something to worry about in the future, and right now, she refused to leave Patrick behind.

"No!" The man refused right then. "He has to stay here!"
