A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1079
The doctor quickly called the cops, who rushed to the scene in less than ten minutes, for Cordy.The instant the kidnappers saw the cops, they realized they had been tricked.They promptly rushed into the emergency room, intent on taking Cordy away, but the cops had already whipped out their guns and cornered them against the wall.Seeing that the cops had restrained the men, Cordy promptly rushed out of the hospital, dragging Patrick along as she left."Miss?!"The cops called out to them, but they pretended not to hear as they left.Once out of the hospital, they immediately stopped a cab and told the cabbie, "To the airport, please.""Okay.""And please lend us your phone.""My friend and I were kidnapped and just made it out. I'm calling my family."The cabbie was skeptical, but he handed his phone to Cordy anyway.Cordy promptly called Richard. "Hello Dicky?""Mommy," the boy sounded like he was on the verge of tears. "Where have you been? Are you in danger?"After al

"I'm very sure," Patrick replied.Cordy did not say anything else at that.After all, she once considered dying with a certain someone before and could therefore empathize with Patrick.After over two hours, they arrived, and Cordy called Sean immediately after she and Patrick disembarked from their flight. "Where are you right now?"Sean sighed ever so faintly. "You're back in the capital?""Yeah," Cordy replied with composure."I'm near Lynd Manor."Cordy's heart skipped a beat—she actually anticipated Sean to be on the move, but it still left her heart pounding that he actually went ahead.It was much faster than she planned, since she always believed that they should at least prepare for months—even years—just to be safe.Doing it in a matter of days was just out of the question.Was Sean really that desperate?"I'll be right over." Cordy did not ask questions over the phone—she had to go with the plan unconditionally now that Sean made his move.Cordy and Patrick heade

Sean replied, "John was the one who told me not to tell you."Cordy simply held his gaze, so he added, "You know his misgivings. He didn't want to worry you."Cordy still did not reply, and the air between them was left in stiff, awkward silence.Suddenly, she asked calmly, "What's the situation now?"It was as if everything John did would not affect her at all, and the current situation concerned her more."He must have obtained evidence of the Lynds' crimes over the years, but they caught on as soon as he got it," Sean replied. "He's in their custody right now, and I only received a text from him.""What text?" Cordy asked."See for yourself," Sean said and handed Cordy his phone.Cordy stared at the photo, which obviously showed the location where he kept the documents.But that also meant his chances were not optimistic.Cordy and Patrick were silent for a long while after seeing the photo.In the latter's case, he felt depressed in a way he could not describe.Still, h

Keith was glaring at John murderously, as if he could murder John at the next instant.However, John never expected to escape unscathed after he had done what he did.That being said, the Lynds' influence in organized crime was far beyond what he imagined—he just presumed that the family had connections with certain groups, and it was not after he procured that document that he found out the extent of their horrific power!Even the Cranstons—the so-called most powerful family in the nation—would never win against that. The Lynds would crush them sooner or later!That was why he was ready for the worst when he chose to turn around, and his only wish was for Sean to retrieve the document before the Lynds did… otherwise, the Lynds just might dig six feet under like Keith promised and find it before long.He closed his eyes, genuinely giving up on struggling—he had done his best, and the rest was up to fate.Seeing that John remained unmoved, the murder in Keith's glare became even m

John shook his head ever so slightly. The Lynds would never trust him, let alone allow a ticking time bomb to leave.In fact, they would kill him whether he talked—sooner if he did. "I promise you with my life, Lucas." Nana persisted nonetheless. "Just tell us where the documents are, and I can take you away with me. We'll leave this place forever and never come back!""That's impossible," John said feebly, just as he did not want to drag Nana down with him.He could tell that Nana would have no place in the family because of this either. In fact, if the Lynds were feeling a little less forgiving, she would be dealt with the same way he was. In fact, that was why he returned to Nana's room when he realized he had nowhere to run. Most importantly, he could make it clear to the Lynds that Nana was innocent, that she chose to side with her family instead of him.Even if they wanted to fault her, they would have to take that into consideration and be lenient toward Nana."This m

As Nana quietly heaved a sigh of relief, the bodyguard asked respectfully, "Should we wake him, Ms. Lynd?"Nana was hesitant, but her father did give her just two hours. If she let John sleep now, Keith would kill him when he woke up."Yeah," she replied.The bodyguard nodded, and turned to gesture at one of his boys, who picked up a bucket of water and splashed it down his head.John was jolted awake the instant he was splashed, the anguish causing him to grunt without control.Nana frowned—John did not hurt that much even when she whipped him.And for an instant, she thought he might die from sheer pain."It's concentrated saltwater," the bodyguard explained, probably noticing Nana's confusion.Nana wheeled on him and snapped, "Saltwater? Are you crazy?!"John was covered in wounds, and now splashed with saltwater… she was scared to imagine how much that would hurt!"That's the quickest way to wake him," the bodyguard replied respectfully.Smack! Nana had suddenly slap

Nana could not believe that Lucas Lynch turned out to be John Levine.But she had to, because that was reality.Was that why John loved Cordy so much that he could die for her?"Nana," John said then, "don't waste your time on me. It's not worth getting yourself into trouble because of me.""Why not? Because you'll never love me?" Nana asked through tears."Yes." John nodded without hesitation."What if you never knew Cordy? Would you fall for me?" Nana asked meekly."Never." John remained resolute. "There's no 'what ifs'. I won't ever fall for any woman other than Cordy.""But weren't you happy with me before?""In retrospect, it was just licking each other's wounds and compromising.""Lucas!" Nana cried, almost breaking down right then. "Can't you just lie to me once in the end?! Why do you have to be so cruel to me?!"John simply stayed silent, and Nana was left laughing as her tears gushed.Yes—his love for Cordy was so sacred that not even death would sully it an inch.

Doug was the person Jean trusted most. One might even say that she trusted Doug more than her own family in this manner, which was why she did not question his words.She thought then that it was fortunate that Nana was rational enough that love did not cloud her mind, and she picked her family rather than her man.Otherwise, she would not stand there alive!Jean's eyes narrowed, and she barked, "Keep looking! It wouldn't have disappeared into thin air!""Yes, ma'am."-There was only silence in the black car outside Lynd Manor, and the skies were slowly turning dark.Cordy asked Sean, "Have you any idea how we'd get in to retrieve the document?"Sean shook his head—barging in was clearly impossible.With the Lynds on high alert, both sides would only lose.There was even less chance for them to find some reason to get inside—this was a critical period for the Lynds. Not even a fly would be allowed in, let alone them. In fact, making a move now would only arouse the Lynd

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
