A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 723

Finally having had enough, Cordy yelled back at Lucas, "Did I ask you for anything?! Who told you to come?! I was sleeping here just fine, and I didn't need you to wake me, let alone yell at me! Even if I'm being negligent to my son, that's my own business. What right do you have to care?! You're not his father!"

"Cordy Sachs!" Lucas snarled through his teeth.

Nonetheless, Cordy continued, "Don't stand there acting like you're being noble when you're just going to emotionally blackmail me! Who do you think you are?! Even if I die here, it has nothing to do with you! What you did was a violation of my personal privacy, and I can sue you for it!"

Lucas was left absolutely livid, and glaring at Cordy with scarlet eyes while feeling the impulse to strangle her for an instant.

He had no idea why he would overreact to her. All he knew was that when he passed by, an unknown sense of terror struck him when he saw that her blood was being drained into the IV bag. He did not hesitate in that instant to rush inside and summon the nurses to pull the needle out, and he was left exceedingly furious to see Cordy slowly waking up as if nothing happened.

Could she not at least take care of herself, when she's almost thirty and a mother at that?! Did she even have that sense of responsibility she should show as a mother?!

His teeth were gnashing. "You deserved it if you died right then!"

"It's my own business even if I die and none of yours at all! " Cordy retorted. "Shove your moral grandstanding, because I couldn't care less!"

Lucas was glowering, but he suddenly turned and stormed off without hiding his rage at all.

"Maybe we're just naturally incompatible." Cordy chuckled coolly.

In reality, she had noticed it too—Lucas may have behaved self-absorbed and arrogant toward everyone, but he never lost his temper toward them easily.

She was the exception.

She honestly had no idea how she had managed to upset him that they were at each other's throat each time they met!
