A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 725

Nana continued, "I'm sorry, Cordy, I really don't want to ask this of you, but I'm so afraid of losing Lucas. Could you at least promise me to keep your distance as long as it's not about business?"

"I already have. I've never tried to get near him, and I'm not interested in him…"

Cordy trailed off as she stared at Nana's hopeful yet miserable look, and she said, "Alright, I promise."

Nana's tearful expression turned to a smile right then, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Cordy! I knew you were a good person!"

Cordy thought she was far from it—she certainly did not think Nana's overly humble stance in her relationship deserved pity.

She just did not want to waste her time staying involved with them and then cause trouble for herself because of them.

In fact, she would have done it whether she agreed to it—Lucas was just that incompatible with her. Nana just could not bring herself to buy that reality and simply wanted a definitive answer from Cordy.

Cordy in turn decided to satisfy Nana.

"I'm going now," Nana said happily then. "Take care of yourself, Cordy."

"Yeah."

After Nana left, Cordy whipped out her phone and blocked Lucas' number.

Nana could have her wish—Cordy would have nothing to do with Lucas now.

Lucas was waiting for Nana on the first floor of the hospital and working hard to calm himself as she arrived.

Was it really anger, or did his heart ache for her?

He turned away, staring outside the window with a gloomy look.

"Lucas, you don't love me anymore, do you?" Nana asked, her tears trickling out as soon as she spoke.

"I do," he replied, turning to see her tearful face and remembering that she was with him in his darkest year.

"Can you stay in love with me?" Nana asked hysterically. "I'll change if there's something about me you don't like. Just don't fall for anyone else, please?"

She could not stop sobbing.
