Chapter 474
Cordy had to admit, she had fallen straight into Jessica's trick.
Despite that, she wouldn't dismiss the fact that Jessica was definitely using Dicky to threaten her.
Turning around in bed towards Dicky, Cordy watched his little face, sound asleep amidst the dim light.
It was a habit she had everytime she was sleeping with Dicky-turning on a soft light so that she could
see him in the darkness and tuck him in.
Only a real mother would feel that indescribable bliss when you see a child sleeping peacefully beside
her.
Cordy couldn't help caressing his little cheeks once more. She vowed to herself that she would protect
her boy, no matter the cost!
Cordy had gotten used to waking past ten o'clock these days, and that was the case the next morning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDicky was still asleep since he may have slept too late last night, though he was adorable as ever.
Cordy didn't wake him and carefully got out of bed, limping on her crutch to the washroom to wash up
before leaving her bedroom and closing the door behind her.
Still, she only saw the servants were in the living room. It made her a little distracted, and she
wondered if John actually came home.
Maybe he was still sleeping?
One of the servants approached her, asking, "Would you like to have your breakfast now, Miss Sachs?"
"Let's wait a moment,' Cordy replied. "I'll eat with Dicky and John since I'm not that hungry yet."
"Actually, Mr. Levine is already awake," the servant quickly told her.
Cordy was surprised, since the man was nowhere to be seen.
The servant in turn explained, "He returned to his room since neither you nor Master Richard were still
asleep, and told me to get him when you woke up. I'll be going right now."
Cordy nodded, but soon reconsidered and said, "It's fine. I'll go.'
"Yes, Miss Sachs."
In the end, Cordy still felt a little guilty about arguing with John because of Dicky before. Anyway, she
also wanted to ask about Jay's condition.
When she reached John's room and was about to knock, the door turned out to be open.
Cordy didn’t hesitate to go in, and found John standing in the middle of the room, his hair wet as if he
just showered.
He turned, sensing someone entering, and immediately saw Cordy's stiffened expression.
She saw John's gaze, and flushed right then.
As she turned to leave, however, John suddenly stopped her. "Cordy."
She bit her lip and kept her back to him.
He said, "Wait a moment. I need a favor.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Please get dressed first,' Cordy reminded him.
"You're not losing anything here."
But she was!
Nonetheless, a while had passed and he said, "I'm done."
Cordy slowly turned to find John in a white bathrobe, draped loosely over his body.
It felt a little flirty, but he wasn't really exposing himself either...
"What do you need?" Cordy asked.
"Some of the injuries on my thigh were not fully healed. Help me rub some ointment, since it's quite
difficult for me to do it myself.'
Cordy frowned. "When did you get hurt?"
"During the car crash before."
"And you still haven't recovered yet?" Those were supposed to be flesh wounds, too!
"Which is why it needs extra care," John replied, as if it was only natural. "I think I wasn't paying much
attention, and it got infected.'
