Cora could not accept reality at all and was still yelling after Bob maniacally to justify herself. "I never did anything wrong! Zoe owes me that much! But now, every single one of you is hurting me!"Yes.She was not at fault.They were all at fault! Even so, Bob seemed not to hear her hysteria and left without looking back.Cora bit her lip.No. She had no regrets! She refused to regret what she did today! Never!-After leaving Cora's ward, Jay had headed to a quiet corner in the hospital, making arrangements in an orderly manner.Bob quietly walked up to Jay and waited in silence as he stood beside Jay.After around half an hour, Jay finally hung up and turned to Bob.As the men traded glances, Bob spoke first. "Sorry. I was the one who brought this on Zoe."Jay shook a head—this was not Bob's fault at all.It was Cora, who never once let go of the darkness plaguing her heart.He thought she could slowly change with everything he had done for her, but it turned o

Jay returned to Zoe's ward, where she kept browsing through the news.She would be lying if she was not upset, though it surprised her that she was even more upset seeing the comments flame Jay more than they flamed her.As such, Jay found her cheeks bright red as soon as she entered, looking like she was ready to fight someone at any moment.He could not help chuckling just then, though Zoe noticed him just then.She was speechless to see him smiling and looking so good at that. "How could you still smile now, Jay?! The ground is crumbling beneath our feet!""I'd still have enough money to last both of us." Jay grinned adoringly."So, you don't have a solution?" Zoe stared at him just then, feeling very much hysterical.Did she want money? Yes, she certainly did.But more than that, she wanted both money and faith!She was endlessly greedy that way."I do. We have a press conference scheduled for 2 PM tomorrow, though I don't know what might come of it." Jay told her about

Zoe turned to look at Jay to see the nonchalant look on his face and could not help asking, "You're really not afraid that Nancy is upset, are you?"Jay turned to look at her. "Are you?"Zoe shook her head and said flatly, "I used to care before, but I think I'm over it now.""So why should I be afraid?" Jay asked her with a smile.The way he put it… it was as if he would worry if she did and would not if she did not.But had he not been reliant on the Levines for years?Even if the Levines were no longer involved in commerce, their wealth and estate was immeasurable, and no one would challenge them for no reason. Naturally, Jay had gathered enough influence to himself by now, so the Levines could not do anything to him.Zoe just did not peg Jay for being such an ingrate."Don't worry over nothing," Jay said then, patting her head. "I never owed the Levines."He could read her mind as usual, though Zoe was pursing her lips.She certainly did not want Jay to ignore his conscie

Jay's eyes were obviously leveled at the journalists before them, but he also reached out to her right then and gave her hand a squeeze. His hand was so obviously warm, and Zoe suddenly relaxed considerably in an instant—not because Jay offered her a sense of security, or that she was convinced Jay could handle this perfectly, but she just felt that she could take it, however things would turn out.As long as Jay was at her side, even an apocalypse did not seem that serious.Well, she did not even mind admitting now that she had fallen in love with Jay again, to the point that she lost her sense of self.He had hurt her so grievously, and she swore never to love him again.And yet, once he changed, all her defenses were broken down.Honestly, Jay was going to ruin her life. If the day came when he suddenly stopped loving her, she had only her own bad luck to blame.But now, she could not care less—she wanted to run the distance with him.And so she could not help squeezing Jay

Zoe looked at Jay in turn, her heart racing for some reason.She began to tense up, as she suddenly had this feeling that Jay had been hiding a lot from her.She just had no idea what it was…Jay turned back toward the journalists then.They had been getting restless again a moment ago but were once again tame like a puppy, even keeping their breaths silent as if worried that Jay would stop talking if they disturbed him.He certainly had everyone on tenterhooks, but the man himself remained calm and unhurried.He said, "As everyone would be aware, I was adopted into the Levine family by Alan Levine. However, the truth is…"Jay gulped.It was a very well-hidden secret that only Alan and his biological mother knew, but he eventually found out.The ever-intelligent John found out later as well, and eventually the whole family.And now, the entire nation would as well…Even so, Jay's voice remained even. "I am Alan Levine's illegitimate son.""What?!"All the journalists prese
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1037
The journalists were left in an uproar again—no one could resist discussing the bombshells Jay was dropping! "My goodness… I thought it's already shocking that Jay is Alan Levine's illegitimate son… but Zoe used to be the Levines' heiress too?!""Why wasn't there anyone who told us about Zoe's identity before?""Now that Jay has mentioned it, it was weird how Zoe seemed to disappear into thin air back then. How could someone vanish from showbiz so completely? Was it really revenge from the Levines?!""I remember an article mentioning Zoe's appearance in front of Levine Manor, but no one seemed to care because Jay announced that he was dating Mandy Jessop soon after…""Oh, right, Jay used to date Mandy Jessop… I'm confused.""Yeah, it's all so complicated! This has to be the greatest bombshell in showbiz, don't you think?"The journalists were all eagerly and noisily discussing the piece of news, since there were just so many questions. Even they would lose their minds if Jay di

Zoe felt as if her heart was stabbed just then too.She had always been convinced that Jay never loved her, that Jay was only being nice to her to win points with the Levines so that he could continue to live with them in wealth and glamor.She never thought that Jay's obedience came from his desire to stay with her, even though he was always so withdrawn and aloof.Naturally, she had even less reason to expect that Jay had been rejecting her because he believed they were biologically related. And he never told her… because he was worried it would hurt her?It just might be true, because she would rather hate him than accept that a love between them was impossible!"I used to doubt Alan," Jay continued then. "I was sure that he just didn't want me to be with Zoe since I was adopted and lacking in status to marry her. That's why I had been sneaking off with his genetic material to perform paternity tests, doing one after another until I finally gave up on hoping… and became convi

Jay continued, "That is why Zoe never revealed that she was a Levine no matter what trouble she got into over the years while being in showbiz. It was agreed that she would give up on her showbiz career if her identity was ever exposed… Therefore, when a paparazzi took photos of me with her in front of Levine Manor, drawing speculation of a potential affair, I publicly announced a relationship with Mandy Jessop so that Zoe's showbiz career was kept from harm—so that Zoe did not have to forfeit her career she had so much passion for."Zoe turned towards Jay in shock again, just like the rest of the journalists.So Jay had dated Mandy back then… for Zoe?No. One could say for sure now that everything Jay did, he did it for Zoe."However, when I was about to give in and accept that I could never be together with Zoe, then came a sudden dramatic turn of events—yes, it was when Zoe was revealed to be not Nancy Levine's daughter, which also meant we were not blood-related. I had to adm

Soon, another nurse emerged from the delivery room with a small bundle. "Is the mother's family here?""Yes!" John exclaimed loudly."The delivery was successful," the nurse said. "The baby weighs eight pounds—""How is she?" John asked in agitation, not caring about the child."She's fine. The doctor is just helping her clean up and she'll be out soon," the nurse replied.As John breathed a sigh of relief, the nurse reminded him, "Aren't you the father? Here's your child."John took the baby off her arms, staring at her for a moment as the others flocked around him. "Oh, she's so fair!" Zoe could not help exclaiming. "That's the most beautiful baby I've ever seen.""Are you saying that your son's ugly?" Bob teased."To be honest, yeah," Zoe replied without thinking.Jay cleared his throat—even if it was a subjective opinion, it still hurt to have his own baby called ugly."Let me carry her," Zoe volunteered just then, and John did not hesitate to hand her his baby.As Zoe

"What?!" Zoe exclaimed in shock.Beside them, John's face fell despite being usually stoic.Still, even before anyone could react, he scooped Cordy up in his arms and left.Zoe did not hesitate to follow, but Jay reminded her, "We're the hosts, Zoe.""Don't care." Zoe was completely unconcerned. "Ask my mom and your sister to handle the guests. I'm going with Cordy!"Jay hesitated for a moment before deciding to follow since there was no reasoning with Zoe.Sam and Quinn also realized that something was out of place.As they pulled away reluctantly, Bob shouted from below, "If you're done kissing, we're going to the hospital! Cordy's going into labor!"Quinn hurried after them as soon as she hurt, but Sam caught her. "Slow down. We can catch up."In fact, most of the guests were leaving as well—it was as if the banquet for Zoe's son was actually intended for everyone else.The poor boy was certainly unlucky to have such unreliable parents!-As everyone rushed to the hospit

"I'm swelling from my pregnancy," Quinn explained. "It's not your fault."Sam was left staring at her for a while before asking, "So, what should I do?""I'll put it on when I slim down.""Oh." Sam was a little disappointed, since he had always dreamed of having her put on the ring he had custom made.But this was fine—they had all the time they needed, and the most important thing for him is that Quinn was marrying him!He rose to his feet just then, and everyone was cheering as soon as he did. "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"Quinn blushed right then, and Sam could see that she was embarrassed.He did not want to make things awkward for her, even if he was quite eager at the moment.Heaven knows how much he missed that night's drunken fumble they had. In fact, during the times he remembered it in dreams, he had to wash his pants when he woke up.Still, just as he took Quinn's hand and started to leave, he felt a softness on his lips—Quinn was kissing him! Sam's heart pounded thunderous

Everyone waited patiently for the final outcome.Quinn's eyes were welling up with tears, threatening to gush if she so much as blinked.She did her best to hold back her tears—to be strong!Sam pursed his lips in turn, his Adam's apple bobbing.A long while passed, and it felt like a century for Quinn when she finally heard him say, "Yes."Quinn's tears started falling in happiness as Sam declared loudly, "I'll marry you, Quinn—it's what I've always wanted to do! I won't let you go even if you regret it eventually! You only get to be with me, and I'll never let any other man claim you! I'll become very overbearing… eventually!""I won't regret it," Quinn said, determined.She certainly would not regret marrying him!Zoe walked up to them with perfect timing just then, and Sam did a double take.He finally remembered that Zoe was the host of this luncheon and was going to leave with Quinn when Zoe whipped out a small red velvet box."You know what's in here, don't you?" Zoe a

However, Sam had already pushed Quinn away before she could tell him. But even if he did not love her or did not want to be with her, she would never stay with Ryan.She had been disappointed in Sam, wondering why he would give up so easily.Was she that unimportant to him?Therefore, if it were not for Zoe and Cordy showing her that video or telling her so much, she would never have known that he loved her for years…Sam's heart ached even as he looked into Quinn's tearful eyes.He reached out a hand, but soon withdrew it—would he not burden her?Even so, it hurt to restrain himself as he watched her, and he was actually getting the feeling that Quinn loved him…But she already had Ryan's child…Well, he was fine with that, as long as the child was Quinn's.But would she not mind?"I will marry you, Sam," Quinn said slowly and clearly then. "Not because you're a good man, not because you prepared so much for me, and not because of how much you prepared for me, but because I

Everyone in the hall was staring at Sam and Quinn, while Quinn took center stage, staring fixedly at Sam.He stood in the middle of the crowd, watching her silently.She in turn felt fear that he would turn and leave, just as she did not know if she had the courage to stand before him again and to declare her feelings for him in front of so many others.Nonetheless, amid the deafening silence, Sam suddenly walked toward the stage.His pace was slow as if his feet were made of lead, but he was also unusually determined.Quinn's heart raced uncontrollably right then!Everyone else was watching them nervously, especially Cordy and Zoe, with the latter being especially concerned that the cowardly Sam would bail.Fortunately, he was a man who showed responsibility. He would not leave Quinn alone and embarrassed.Hence, as everyone looked on, Sam stood before Quinn, his gaze flickering as their eyes met.He gulped ever so slightly, his emotions clearly ruffled even as he did his bes

The guests were encouraging, loudly asking, "Why?!""Because of a woman," Sam's recording replied."Who is it?""Quinn Summer," the Sam on the screen said slowly and clearly, leaving the Sam who was in the hall stunned.What the hell?! That was the proposal video he prepared before! Why did it show up here? Did Zoe make a mistake?!He knew it—leave anything to Zoe, and she would mess it up!He started striding toward the stage, intent on stopping the recording, when John and Bob intercepted him with a look of utter guilt while the recording continued. "Quinn is my wife, and we've been married for years, but I've never really loved her—not because I don't, but because I'm afraid to. I feel too insignificant in comparison to the one she loves, so I'd always hurt her… painfully and childishly. I regret that so much now, Quinn. How could I have abandoned you for so long because of my own jealousy? I'd rather hold you in my sleep every night, but my damned pride denied me that for y

At the banquet hall, Jay and Zoe were thanking their guests with their children in their arms.Then, Zoe announced excitedly, "Please give my best friend, who is also my son's godmother, a warm applause as she comes on stage!"Sam stood at a corner of the hall, watching as Quinn walked up the stage, only realizing just then that her belly was clearly swelling despite her baggy clothes.Time flies—he had not left that long ago, but she and Ryan already had a child.She was not worried about giving him a stroke, was she?He watched as Quinn took the mic and looked around below searching, seemingly searching.After a while, he thought she was looking at him, but by the time he looked up, she had already turned away.Maybe she was looking for Ryan before remembering that Ryan was not there?Nonetheless, Quinn spoke into the mic, saying, "I'm honored to be chosen as the godmother to Zoe's son, and she's been saying he'd be engaged to my child if it's a girl. I already love my godson

As their eyes met, Sam turned frantic and averted his. "Of course.""Really?" Quinn asked."Would I lie to you?" Sam asked a little grumpily."And you didn't bring her back?" Quinn asked."I'm on a schedule, and it'd be taxing for her if I bought her along," Sam said, making things up as he went along. "I'll bring her along when things are less busy.""Is she pretty?" Quinn pressed."What, have I ever picked an ugly one?" Sam snorted smugly. "You know I prefer curvaceous types, and there are plenty of those abroad.""Do you have a photo?"Sam was silent for a while and eventually said, "Yeah.""Can I see it?""What, does she have to pass your assessment?""Just curious about the girl who can tempt you to settle down," Quinn replied. "You'd be humbled." Sam hastily came up with an excuse."I won't," Quinn said, determined."You'll see her when I bring her home." Sam refused nonetheless."I would like to see a photo now.""No, she's not that photogenic. It'd be slander a
