A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 293

Cordy stared coldly at Adam and Eva.

Even if they looked pitiable now, there was a reason for it.

She took Dicky's hand, and told John, "I'll get Dicky cleaned up since he has other events soon. As for the rest…do what you will."

John nodded—he really shouldn’t have worried that Cordy would be lenient.

Even if she never went out of her way to hurt others, she wasn’t the type to suffer an insult lying down.

It was what made her free-spirited yet domineering.

After Cordy left with Dicky, John turned back towards Adam and Eva, his gaze suddenly cold.

He wasn’t as soft as Cordy, who was satisfied with an eye for an eye.

Rather, he wanted ten eyes for one.

They were going to bankrupt him, was it?

Well, he would show them what the term truly meant!

As Cordy gently wiped away the filth on Dicky's face, she asked sympathetically, "Are you upset you were bullied, Dicky?"

"No, Mommy," Dicky grinned. "You protected me, and daddy taught them a lesson. I also did to Jerry what he did to me, so I'm not upset."

Still, his little face soon turned concerned. "Are you sad, Mommy? They were saying bad things about you."

Cordy smiled. "Don't you know that mothers are strong?"

"What does that mean?" Dicky didn’t quite understand her.

"That means I've become strong and invincible after I become a mother. No one can hurt me when I have you. And didn't you try to protect me? I'm touched, so I'm not sad at all."

"I’ll always protect you," Dicky promised.

"Thank you, but you're still very young," Cordy said, her voice now stern. "You can't protect me when things get really dangerous, and you have to wait until you grow up. So, even if I'm in danger, you have to listen to me when I tell you not to help me, alright?"
