A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391

Fortunately, Jay only had flesh wounds—the car was stopped in time, and the collision was slight.

He had bled a lot on the ground, but his vitals were fine. However, his doctor insisted he stay the night at the hospital for observation.

Having issued his instructions, the doctor left, leaving just Jay and Zoe alone.

Zoe placed all the bills, papers and medication on top of his bedside drawer, saying, 'These are your receipts for admittance, and some of the medicine you need to take and apply. Also, your phone's broken."

Jay stared at her then, with a distant and estranged gaze.

"Do you want to borrow my phone to call the Levines?" Zoe asked, holding out her phone to him.

"No," he said, shaking his head.

Zoe didn’t push him either, since he never liked to bother the Levines. After all, he had to keep up his appearance to not cause them trouble.

"Do you need a care worker?" Zoe asked.

Jay refused. 'No. It's not that serious."

"Okay," Zoe nodded. "I'm leaving if there's nothing else."

But as she turned to leave, Jay called out, "Zoe."

Zoe turned towards him, and he told her, "You should get your palm checked."

When he pushed her away, she had dropped to the floor on her hands, leaving it reddish from contact on the ground.

"I know,* she replied.

"Right now, you-’

Zoe's phone suddenly started to ring, and Jay quickly stopped himself.

Still, she smiled too. "You finally rid yourself of a major headache.’

"Actually, I-’

"Don't worry, I'm doing better than you or I would imagine. Come to think of it now, all my stubbornness before was not with it."

Zoe spoke ever so calmly, even though she was spilling her guts.

Jay listened in silence, but could still hear the contempt she had for him despite her calm tone.

And after she had her say, she left without looking back.

He watched as she went, his vision blurring in turn.

It was soon a month after Sam's birthday.
