A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 294

Cordy smiled slightly and gave Dicky both thumbs-up in encouragement, showing that she didn’t mind, let alone care about keeping up appearances.

As the teachers arranged the groups, they noticed that one of the children didn’t have both parents with her—even though elite private schools like this usually insisted on having both parents attending school activities.

Before things could get awkward, Dicky suddenly asked one of the teachers, "Can my mommy join us?"

"But your mommy's already here…"

"That's my mommy," Dicky pointed at Cordy on the stands.

The teacher simply presumed it to be a child's innocent banter, and didn’t dwell on it as she said, "Of course."

She went off to invite Cordy, who agreed to it since Dicky was so eager, and played mommy for the little girl.

As the relay was about to begin, Cordy and Dicky were close enough to speak to each other although they were in different groups.

"Are you good at running, Mommy?"

"Of course," Cordy said proudly. "Where do you think you got your athletic genes from?"

"So I got it from you, Mommy!" Dicky exclaimed excitedly.

"That's why I won't let you win, okay? We're rivals, after all."

"I'll do my best!" Dicky said confidently.

The whistle soon blew, and the relay began.

The scene turned lively right then, and Cordy was fully focused, ready to take the baton.

But that might not be the case for Jessica, who moaned in pain. "Ow…"

John finally turned towards Jessica, to find the skin scraped off both her knees.

It was a gruesome, bloody sight.

One of the teachers quickly exclaimed, "Quick, Mr. Levine! You have to take her to the infirmary!"

John finally reached out to help Jessica, but her knees buckled just as she got up.

When John tried to help ehr up again, Jessica groaned, "Ow…"

The teacher promptly urged, "Mr. Levine, you have to carry her."
