A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1053
Nancy looked on in disbelief at Jay and Zoe leaving heartlessly. There was no hint of hesitation whatsoever. "Jay Parker!" Nancy yelled at him with all her might. Jay pretended not to hear her and left unperturbed with Zoe. "Are you really trying to force me to my death?" Nancy questioned him in a loud voice. Jay refused to respond to her. Fights never resulted in any outcomes. Real actions were what counted. Unable to hold it in any longer, Cora charged toward Jay and Zoe in an attempt to stop them from leaving, but before she could do so, Cordy stood right in front of Cora, blocking her way. Cora stared at Cordy. "If you don't want things to spiral out of control, I suggest you don't go to them," Cordy said coldly. Cora bit her lips, clearly unwilling to concede defeat. Nancy said through gritted teeth, "Don't chase after them. I don't need their pity!" Cora heard Nancy's words and turned back to her. "How are you feeling, Mom?" "I'm fine." "Let's send t

Nancy brought her emotions under control and said calmly, "As long as you're good to Dicky." "I read the news online and saw that you and Jay…" Cordy decided to go ahead and ask. Cordy had rushed back today because she indeed cared for Nancy's life and death. Whatever it was, Nancy remained Richard's grandaunt and she treated Richard very well. On the other hand, Cordy also wanted to take the chance to talk to Nancy about Jay and Zoe. "Don't talk about him. It only makes me angry." Nancy's face turned dark with displeasure. "I did not expect to have raised such an ingrate after putting in so many years of hard work. He has truly forgotten how well I treated him back then!" "Impossible. You're being extreme about it," Cordy said frankly. Nancy stared at Cordy. She knew that Cordy was friends with Zoe and Jay, but she felt that Cordy should have her priorities in order. "Are you standing on Jay's side in this matter?!" Nancy's face fell. "I'm not taking anybody's side. I

"Dicky, do you want to stay here and spend more time with Grandaunt or go back with Mommy?" Cordy respected Richard's decision. Richard looked at Nancy and hesitated for a moment before replying, "Grandaunt, take good care of yourself. I'll head back with Mommy." The expectant look in Nancy's eyes gave way to cold ruthlessness. She was unable to let go of her pride in front of outsiders, and the pride that was deeply rooted in her did not allow her to give in to anyone. Richard walked toward Cordy. Before Cordy left, she stopped for a moment, and Nancy's eyes glinted at that moment. Cordy said frankly, "Threatening others with your own life is rather despicable." With that, she left without waiting for Nancy's reply. Nancy's face was a mix of anger and awkwardness at being called out. She had been seen through by another and it was a source of pain for her. Yes, she did it on purpose.She deliberately wanted Jay to regret his decision. She could not stand being i

Cordy sent Richard back. Richard saw Cordy leave in the car with a heavy heart, not really knowing how to articulate the feelings inside him. He could sense that things were going well between his mommy and Patrick. Mommy treated Patrick very well and vice versa. In fact, Patrick treated him very well. Everything seemed like it was falling into place. Richard sighed. He should not have held out any hope. It was Daddy who gave up on Mommy, and he should not find it a pity on Daddy's behalf. In the car, Cordy gave Zoe a call. "Cordy, did you leave the hospital so soon?" Of course, Zoe knew that Cordy could not possibly call her in front of Nancy. "Yeah. I just wanted to bring Dicky to visit her." "Oh. Where are you right now?" "I'm heading to the office. Let's have dinner tonight." "Sure. Will your boyfriend be joining us?" "Yes, he will." "I got a good look just now. He's quite handsome," Zoe teased. "He's pretty all right," Cordy said shyly. "Pretty al

Jay was stunned for a moment as his ears turned red. Yelena saw what her mommy did and her smiley face immediately turned sour. She said unhappily, "Mommy, you played cheat! How could you kiss Daddy while we're not paying attention!" "Nonsense." Zoe said in all seriousness, "Your daddy is my husband. I can kiss him anytime I want." "I don't want that," Yelena grumbled. "Daddy is my daddy. He's mine." "You're wrong." Zoe informed Yelena very seriously, "You daddy is forever mine. I'm just loaning him to you for the time being and allowing him to play with you. Ultimately, he belongs to me." "Boo hoo hoo! Daddy is mine!" Yelena was driven to tears by Zoe's words. "You must learn to accept reality. You can find your own husband in the future," Zoe said ruthlessly. Jay was rendered speechless. Zoe was being calculative with a three-year-old. "Yelena, don't cry. I'll always be your daddy," Jay comforted her. "Hmph." Yelena immediately puffed her chest up and said, "Daddy

He always thought that people from the entertainment circle were supposed to be more tactful.Zoe was clearly an exception, being so straightforward in nature."I'll do my best to satisfy everyone," Patrick promised eagerly."It's not important whether we are satisfied. What matters most is whether Cordy is satisfied.""I'm pretty satisfied," Cordy said."Tsk tsk, starting with some public displays of affection already, aren't we?" Zoe teased.Cordy blushed, and Patrick felt rather shy too.Things looked pretty good between the two of them."Drinks tonight?" Zoe suggested."I'm good with that," Patrick said bravely."Sounds like you hold your liquor well?""Not too bad." Patrick did not bother acting humble, and Cordy did not stop him.A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit, after all.With Zoe around, the atmosphere around the table fired up in no time.Zoe was in a pretty good mood and drank quite a bit.Jay could not take alcohol so all he did was to sit at the side an

Jay could tell that there was a hidden meaning behind Cordy's words, but he did not dare contemplate the possibility of a miracle. Cordy did not say anything further.Some things belonged to John alone. Given their relationship right now, she had no right to say anything further. "Congratulations to you." Cordy changed the subject.Jay was stunned for a moment before flashing her a smile.Of course, he knew what Cordy was congratulating him for."Regarding things between you and Zoe, I initially didn't hold out much hope, thinking that you two would eventually pass each other by. Turns out that God is fair after all. Lovers do end up happily ever after," Cordy looked up at the bright moon hanging in the night sky and said with a smile."I still find it unreal now," Jay said rather shyly, "Something that I never dared to even dream of happened just like that…""You deserve it," Cordy affirmed."Thank you." Jay smiled.It was a smile that conveyed the sense of happiness that

But hearing Jay say with such certainty that his heart would ache for her…Happiness filled her heart.She really wanted to kiss him in front of everyone, but she was worried that Jay would bury his head in the ground out of embarrassment."Jay, I didn't mean that your heart wouldn't ache for me. I meant that you wanted me to go home so early surely because you want me to bear many children for you, enough to make up a basketball team."Cordy burst out laughing.Meanwhile, Quinn barely managed to hold in her laughter, chuckling inwardly as she sipped on her wine.She did not drink much, but it was not little either.Jay's ears turned completely red. He held on tight to Zoe and left in a hurry in his wheelchair.Over the years, they had never seen Jay so awkward before.Indeed, every person has his own weakness. After they left, Quinn put down her wine glass and said, "Let's go, too.""Wait," Cordy grabbed Quinn's arm and said, "I'll drink with you.""Huh?" Quinn was taken

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
