A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1109

Patrick huffed. "Why would I argue with him?"

His tone was hostile, but he was keeping his voice down anyway, perhaps worried about waking Sean up.

Cordy smiled, but she refrained from exposing the man.

Patrick had his ego, and she did not want to make things awkward for him.

She brought a blanket for Sean and gently laid it over him—Sean was always a light sleeper, and even if she was careful, he would have woken up on any other day.

But this time, he was still sleeping soundly.

Had he been busy? Probably.

After all, there was a lot to do in the Cranston family right now, and there were occasionally family members who would add to his troubles.

Sean, who had to shoulder everything by himself, was definitely under considerable stress.

After tucking in Sean, Cordy returned to Patrick and asked, "Aren't you going to sleep?"

"No way. I've been sleeping all day everyday for days, and I can't sleep at all now," Patrick grumbled. "Did the doctors mention when I could get out of bed?"

Patrick could not resist a chuckle. "Do you think he's playing dead?"

Cordy did not reject him, though Patrick paused just as his lips were about to reach Cordy's.

He blinked, spotting Sean staring straight at them from the corner of his eyes.

He thought he was being watched, and he flinched when he actually saw Sean staring back at him, flinching right then and pulling a rib!

"Argh!" He could not help crying out loud.

"What's wrong?!" Cordy asked worriedly.

She had no idea why Patrick would suddenly pull away so quickly.

Did she have bad breath?

She had actually been nervous since this was the first time she kissed Patrick, and she had to steel herself a little mentally…
