A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 872

However, Cordy was unable to smile because her own life was now a mess.

It was a miracle that she discovered that John was still alive, yet he ended up as someone else's fiance.

Her grandfather also remained comatose, and the Cranstsons' family conflict was never resolved.

It was as if nothing would go well for Cordy, and the crushing weight of it all left her suffocating.

Even Sean was getting restless—the culprit who poisoned Jesse was still not making a move days after they set their trap. They had nothing that could expose the culprit, and it was all a complete mystery.

That was when it occurred to Cordy. "Maybe they’re waiting for Grandpa to actually wake up before doing anything?"

Sean's eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"

"Grandpa's will is favorable to the culprit as long as he stays unconscious," Cordy explained. "All they needed was to stay strong and do nothing, while waiting quietly for the final outcome. He should know all too well that any false moves would expose them."

Sean more or less understood. "So, what you're saying is…"

"Yeah. Spread fake news that Grandpa has woken up—don't you think he’d start panicking?" Cordy asked.

"Alright. I'll make the arrangements," Sean replied.

He didn’t hesitate to use Cordy's plan immediately, and started discussing the details with her.

However, once they were done with that, Sean suddenly appeared hesitant to speak.

Cordy could tell immediately—he would always subconsciously furrow his brow whenever he was worried. "Whatever you have in mind, just say it."

"I just received the invitation to Lucas and Nana's wedding from the Lynds."

"I know I've never thought highly of Patrick Stuart and had a feeling he's weird in certain ways," Sean added, "But at least, he’s loyal and wouldn't play with your feelings. If you really had to choose someone, I'm willing to support a relationship between you two."

Cordy was actually surprised—Sean and Patrick were so hostile to each other, but now, Sean was being nice to Patrick?

Still, she understood at the next instant that it was all relative; certain individuals were simply more ideal compared to others.

It was true what Sean said; that Patrick at least would not let her down.

The man would never cheat, or be fickle in relationships.

On the other hand…

John had really abandoned her.
