A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 503

When Cordy dialed Zoe’s number, her call was immediately answered by a machine voice.

[The number you have dialed is not recognized. Please check if you have the correct number and try again.]

Had Zoe changed her number? Did she have her old number deleted?!

What could have been going on between her, Jay, and Bob?

However, there was no doubt that what Bob said was true.

Even if Cordy hadn’t spoken with the man much, it was obvious that he was no liar.

Does that mean there was some sort of misunderstanding between Zoe and Bob? And what was the deal with Zoe and Jay?

Jay was comatose, while Zoe suddenly went missing…

"Cordy."

Cordy came to her senses when Quinn called out to her, suddenly having no idea what was going on with Zoe.

"Have you been in touch with Zoe lately?" Cordy suddenly asked Quinn.

Quinn paused for a moment.

She was about to ask Cordy why she was standing in the walkway alone, and clearly looking flustered at that.

Quinn did wonder if it was about John, and was surprised that Cordy would ask about Zoe instead.

"No," she replied. "I've been busy lately. I occasionally texted her on Whatsapp, but she wouldn't reply… I was thinking about calling her when I'm free, but work always came up, and I’d forget all about it. What's wrong? Did something happen to her?"

Quinn sounded a little nervous towards the end.

Cordy simply told her, "She broke up with Bob."

"What?! She never told me!" Quinn couldn’t hide her agitation. "But why? I thought things were going great between them! Wait, was Bob messing around with other women? I knew it—I should’ve warned Zoe to stop Bob from hanging out with Sam—"

"It's not Bob," Cordy said, cutting Quinn short. "Zoe told him she was still into Jay."

"No," Quinn assured her. "She'd never do that."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," Quinn replied. "We knew each other since children, and I remembered watching the news with her about a suicide incident. Back then, she told me she'd never do it even if the world falls apart, and she’d tell me if something changed. Otherwise, her death would be murder and that I needed to avenge her at all cost."

Quinn still remembered the childish innocence Zoe had back when she said that. The girl had shone brilliantly like a small sun, and was completely devoid of darkness.

Still, Cordy remained worried. "Does she even remember something like that from her childhood?"

"She knows I'd remember, so she wouldn't have forgotten," Quinn said confidently. "And did you forget? She told us that we're her last resort. She never came to us, which means she could still hold her own."

Cordy nodded—Quinn would definitely know Zoe better. Cordy hadn’t known Zoe as long as Quinn had.

"I'll do my best to contact Zoe anyway," Quinn said. "I'll inform you if I reach her."

"Okay."
