A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 602

Cordy walked towards the tea table and picked up the bowl of chicken soup, which was still warm.

She just happened to desire something warm and filling like this, but she left half of it.

She wasn’t sure if Lucas had eaten, but she definitely wasn’t finishing such a huge bowl on her own.

She was still taking sips of the soup when Lucas stepped out of the bathroom, clad in expensive dark-green silk pajamas.

Cordy had to admit that he had the looks to scorn the world, and somehow understood his disdain for others.

She smiled ever so subtly—it turned out that in this world, people were fundamentally skin-deep.

"I saved half the soup for you. Do you want it?" she asked.

"Yeah," he replied, and walked up to her side.

There was still steam swirling around him; he must’ve bought his own soap as well, since he smelled different.

Cordy shifted aside since both of them didn’t like to get too close with each other, though she must also acknowledge that he was a looker.

However, her movements left him frowning, and he snorted in disdain—as if she was doing it deliberately to draw his attention.

Cordy was speechless.

She would admit that he was handsome, but that didn’t mean she would throw herself at him like every other woman would! In fact, she was maintaining her distance from him entirely because she was not interested.

The ward was quiet, and Cordy soon finished her portion since she had the soup first.

Then, she threw the disposable spoon into the bin and returned to her bed.

As she lay down, she noticed that Lucas was still in his pajamas.

For once, he wasn’t mocking her or snapping at her for trying to seduce him.

After supper, Lucas cleaned the room a little. Cordy realized that he was a clean freak with a tinge of OCD.

He spent some time sorting her hospital admission documents, and even more time on the things he had bought.

At around two in the morning, he lay down on the bed prepared for him and turned the lights in the ward to the dimmest.

Cordy put away her phone, knowing that she would have less chance of falling asleep if she kept looking at it.

"I'm telling you, don't think you can do anything you like to me just because we're sleeping in the same room," he warned amidst the darkness.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you," she snapped in retort.

"You better not be."
