A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 788

Jay ultimately lowered his phone.

He should wait a little longer—he didn’t want to disturb her life out of the blue.

Meanwhile, Jesse Cranston had yet to wake up at the capital.

The foreign experts were saying that there was a chance he would end up in a vegetative state, but it wasn’t the time to give up since there was still hope to save him.

Cordy brought Dicky to visit, changing into scrubs before entering the cleanroom.

Jesse slept so peacefully, Cordy would think he was napping if not for all the tubes stuck into him.

"The doctors told me to talk to you more, and you might just wake up," Cordy said, choking back tears.

She had always considered herself someone who can control her own emotions well, and had been calm on the way here.

The instant she spoke, however, her tears were already flowing freely.

After all, she had gone through too much death—too many of her loved ones had departed.

Her mother, the love of her life…and now, her grandfather too?

After a long silence, she regained her calm and slowly spoke, revealing all the thoughts she hid for years without restraint.

"I don't know why mom ran away from home all those years ago… My first reaction when you came to me, telling me that I'm your granddaughter, was that you’ve definitely wronged her. That's why I was distant towards you, even though I didn't refuse you acknowledging me as your granddaughter—I was convinced you had done something terrible to mom, and…I wanted revenge."

Seeing the sorrowful look on her face, he comforted her by saying, "The doctors said a loved one's voice is just one of many alternatives. We’re counting on professional medical science above everything, so don't let it get to you."

"Yeah…" Cordy nodded.

"Come on. I'm taking you and Dicky back to the hotel."

"Okay."

In the car on their way back to the hotel, Sean told her, "So, about what we discussed the other day… The bank account of my grandfather's lawyer showed no unusual transactions."

Cordy wasn’t surprised.

After all, Steven Stark could assume the role of Jesse's legal representative and win Jesse’s trust. That meant he was definitely no pushover. In fact, it was even reasonable to assume that he had hidden any and all shady transactions perfectly.
