A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1086
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

Sean was silent for a while, but he soon started calling his people.There was no denying that Cordy's idea was the best one they had right now—and the longer they delayed, the less ideal the final outcome would be.In fact, Cordy was right—things looked bad for John no matter what happened, and the only thing they could do now was not waste his sacrifice.Everything was ready in ten minutes, though Sean turned to look at Cordy and asked, "Are we really doing this?"Cordy nodded.This was their only option—get the document, and John just might get a shot at survival.And with that, Sean barked into his phone, "Go.""Yes, Mr. Cranston."And in just half an hour, Lynd Manor was covered in flames.-The towering inferno seemed to ignite out of nowhere.It started outside the Lynd Manor compound, but with the electric fences as well as the lush vegetation, the fire only continued to build up.Within the manor, the servants were crying, "Fire! Fire! The compound is on fire!"Ev

Keith growled with rising indignation then, "He probably wasn't working alone, no—he must be working with the Cranstons. Lucas would never have infiltrated the study if Sean did not lure us out of the manor. And who else could dare set fire to our home, let alone have the balls to do it?!""We fell for their ploy?! We were this close to greatness… but they turned the tables on us?!" Jean cried, her body shaking with rage right then."Mom, it's not the time for regrets. We have to go—the fire is getting worse.""If we do, we'd be letting the Cranstons in to get the document and destroy us!" Jean snapped viciously.Though Keith was speechless, anyone could tell that the fire was to cause confusion while the Cranstons sneaked in to take the document."No, I'll stay," Jean growled resolutely. "I shall see who would have the spine to barge into my house!""But it's really dangerous, Mom. If we can't stop the fire—""Go!" Jean said, making up her mind right there and then. "I've lived

Meanwhile, Keith had rallied every member of the Lynd family at the manor grounds as they prepared to evacuate through a secret passage.All important families had one in case of emergencies, but just as they were about to head in, Marge Jenkins—Keith's wife—was suddenly crying out, "Nana's not here!"Kyle finally noticed that Nana was not in the crowd as well, and Marge kept asking worriedly, "Where did she go? Has anyone seen her?"She would be burned alive if they did not leave now!Moreover, only Jean and Keith knew the secret passage. If they left, Nana would never find it in time if she returned."I don't see her," someone answered."Where is she?!" Marge cried out in panic and started toward the manor again.Keith quickly caught her. "Where are you going?!""I have to find Nana!""No, you don't." Keith glowered."She's our daughter, Keith!" Marge cried furiously."And she definitely went to Lucas Lynch," Keith said, as if he knew that for a fact.Marge was left doing

Sacrifice was not enough to earn one's love, and John had already told Nana before that he did not love her at all.He was simply incapable of falling in love with a woman other than Cordy."Just go," he told her. "I don't want to owe you again."All Nana found was irony. "You'd rather die than owe me, so that I can't sully your relationship with Cordy?! You're really obsessed, John!""I am," John replied bluntly.Most importantly, Nana was never going to get him out given this situation, nor did he want Nana to die with him.Nana's eyes were red even as tears streamed down her cheeks. "Don't you regret anything at all, John?""I don't." "Fine." Nana turned to leave right then—if he did not care, she had no reason to humiliate herself.She could let him die as he wished!However, even as she broke into a frantic dash out of the basement, she found the manor already engulfed in flames, and there was no exit in sight.Worst of all, the rest of her family was gone…-The s

Cordy's outburst left Sean stunned for seconds, but before he could speak, Cordy said, "Please."Sean's heart skipped a beat, and he saw Cordy's eyes moist with tears even as she watched him. "Don't stop me if you consider me family."He really must not, because she did not want to trivialize Sean's sacrifice for her. "You're not really protecting me like this," Cordy added. "Did you think I'd feel comfortable living on if you died today? There are times when living is no better than dying—I know exactly how that feels because I've been depressed before.""Just say yes," Patrick suddenly said.Sean turned toward him in surprise—was he really still siding with Cordy now? Was he not supposed to be head over heels for her?!Nonetheless, Patrick held Sean's gaze and said, "Cordy's right. She would feel guilty for the rest of her life if you died for her sake. Just say yes."Patrick knew all too well that Cordy would suffer if she did not try to save John Levine for the rest of her

Even though their bodies were covered from head to toe with the best fireproof overalls, they could still feel the searing heat and the suffocating air around them.Sean's objective was clear, so he left immediately when it was time for them to split up. On the other hand, Cordy and Patrick were supposed to look for John—they had to do it separately since Lynd Manor was huge.Patrick in turn stared at Cordy for a while, but she gave him a determined nod. She would project herself.With that, Patrick stopped hesitating—there was all kinds of danger waiting in there, and the only way to be safe was to achieve their objective quickly and get out.Cordy and Patrick each had a bodyguard escorting them as they parted ways.If her hunch was right, John would be treated harshly once he was caught in the act, and they would have held him somewhere secure.Rumor had it that there was a basement in the old building of Cranston Hall, where the members of the family would be kept and forc

John forced himself to look up then. "I told you you don't have to save me, didn't I? I don't want to drag you down with me…"His bloodshot eyes paused, as he thought for an instant that he was hallucinating.After all, people tend to think about the ones they wanted to see most when death approached.As such, he stared at Cordy for a long while, as if to confirm if it was her.It was a difficult task too, since Cordy was wearing fireproof overalls, covering her from head to toe—no one might be able to recognize her unless they were familiar with her.Cordy wondered for a second if he recognized her too, and she did not come here to do that—right now, rescuing him was more important.She turned away from John and watched worriedly as the bodyguard bludgeoned the chains as hard as he could.However, the chains were too sturdy to break easily.Minutes later, Patrick's voice rang over Cordy's walkie-talkie, and he sounded urgent. "How's it going over there? I can't find John anywh

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
