A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1114
John took a deep breath.Just as he was about to ask his care worker to take him back to his room, he ran into Cordy and Patrick.They must have been doing rounds around the hospital walkway and just happened to return.Since he kept running into the 'mummy', Patrick greeted him, "Yo, bro. Having a stroll out here?"John glanced between Patrick and Cordy, the latter staying silent. "Wait, you can't talk too? But your mouth isn't bandaged," Patrick joked.John pursed his lips. "You probably wouldn't want to hear what I have to say.""Really? But your voice sounds nice.""I'm John Levine."Patrick was dumbstruck right then—he definitely did not want to hear that.He stared at John in turn and wondered how badly hurt John was that he ended up looking like that.Nonetheless, John said politely, "I won't impose." He gestured at his care worker, who wheeled him away.Patrick watched as he left casually and turned towards Cordy, frowning. "Did you recognize him?""Yeah." Cordy

Sean asked, "Why? Not used to the place?""No, but it's no good if I had to keep staying at your place, right?" Patrick said, slightly embarrassed."When did your skin become so thin?""Are you saying that I was already thick-skinned?!" Patrick snapped—Sean really knew how to push his buttons."Stop it. I arranged this," Cordy said, cutting them short since she could not stand their squabbling.Patrick pursed his lips but did not breathe a word, while Sean would never provoke a fight for no reason."Even if you're getting discharged, the doctors advised that you keep resting for another three months and not overexert yourself," Cordy explained. "I'd be worried if you had to go home alone, let alone board a flight to Rocktown. And since there's still much to do for me in the capital and North City, you can stay here with me for the time being.""Alright." Patrick agreed to it right away, too afraid of arguing at all.Sean could not help chuckling, and Patrick had the feeling tha

"Sean Cranston…""There you go." Sean had put Patrick in the car before he could finish, leaving him grumpy for some reason.Cordy was watching as the entire interaction took place and wondered if she was imagining things.Why else did she have this nagging, indescribable feeling?"Cordy?" Patrick called out to her."Oh," Cordy murmured and quickly gathered herself—her thoughts had certainly been a little questionable.-After they returned to Cranston Hall, they sent Patrick to his room.After settling everything for him, Cordy returned to her room.She had been working online most of the time lately, and there was a video conference soon.She studied the various agenda to be discussed and practiced how to convey her opinion with precision.However, someone opened her door while she did, and she looked up to find Richard gingerly carrying a glass of coffee into her room.While Cordy had been taking care of Patrick, Richard was spending his time with John, so they rarely me

Cordy was silent as she listened to Richard. It was true—whenever she took Patrick out on a stroll, they almost always ran into John.She was actually surprised, since John was never that outgoing, leaving her wondering if he was suffering from cabin fever.That was the case for Patrick, who was bored out of his mind staying in bed all the time. Meanwhile, Richard continued seriously, "Daddy didn't have to keep the bandages on his face too, and I heard the doctor telling him repeatedly to take them off or it would hamper his recovery. But Daddy insisted on keeping on the bandages, and now that I think about it, he must be worried that you'd be spooked since his face would look too scary."Cordy could not quite say how she felt just then.It was as if there was something missing between them, and she had since resigned herself to give up on him.Now, she really did not want to remember him—it was fine as long as long as they were both alive, even though they would be apart."A

However, there was a small flight of stairs leading to the garden. Patrick judged the distance but found it a little too tall—his wheelchair would flip if he went down directly.However, he did not have anything to lean on if he tried to walk down there… and he could not really crawl down there, could he?!If he forced himself to go straight down and aggravated his broken ribs…Forget the pain. He was on a timetable to marry Cordy!But as various thoughts crossed his mind, a voice suddenly spoke from behind him. "What are you doing?!""Argh!" Patrick squealed and jumped, startled by the sudden presence—his wheelchair lurched forward and started to roll down the stairs!However, before his face slammed straight on the ground, a silhouette appeared before him and quickly gathered him in his arms.The other man also blocked the wheelchair that was about to fall on Patrick, but it slammed hard on him.Even so, he straightened his back and caught the full brunt of the blow witho

Patrick could understand the reasoning, but hearing it from Sean upset him anyway.He did save Sean's life, so did Sean have to treat him like this?Was he saying that saving Sean's life was less than John's achievement in destroying the Lynds?Patrick got further upset the more he thought about it, but he never said it out loud.Sean, however, seemed to notice that Patrick was moody anyway, and he softened his tone. "I admire John as a great man. I would have liked him to work for me ever since he took down your cousins, though that's impossible now after all that's happened."Patrick remained silent.Yes, John was extraordinary, but was it not a little too cold to tell a rival that in the face?!Fortunately, the servants arrived with lunch and left it on the table of the veranda."How about eating out here? The air is good," Sean asked Patrick."You already asked your servant to bring it out, and you're asking me now? Pointless, isn't it?"Sean smiled, but he did not deny i

Patrick snorted. "How is that the same?""We'll be losing our own money if we mess up," Cordy said.Before Patrick could argue, Cordy said sternly, "It's our money now. There used to be little losses on our respective accounts, but losing together would mean losing big."Patrick was almost convinced, and Cordy added, "We shouldn't bankrupt ourselves just because we're in a relationship.""Then… promise me to video call me every day?""I promise." Cordy nodded."When are you leaving?""Right now.""Cordy." Patrick huffed—could she not keep him company a little longer? How could she leave when he just got discharged today?"I need to take part in this meeting at my company. There are details that I can't elaborate precisely through a video conference.""You at least have to eat, right?"Cordy gave in. "Fine. I'll leave after lunch."-After lunch, Cordy left in a hurry since she could not afford any delays.Sean took her to the airport, and she said gratefully, "I'm count

Cordy coolly replied, "There are some things to attend to."She was wondering just then if she should ask Sean to send Richard home, worried that her son would be uncomfortable being alone at the capital.Still, she soon remembered that she would be going back once she settled matters in North City anyway. She was relieved, since she did not want Richard to keep running back and forth."Should I get Dicky—""No." Cordy cut John short before he could finish.John pursed his lips in turn—he could actually feel how distant she was toward him.Still, he stayed silent and reclined against his huge, comfortable seat with his back toward her, staying away from her and pretending to sleep.Cordy ignored him and calmly read her magazine.The flight was a quiet one, and John kept sleeping without moving an inch or responding when the flight attendant arrived to ask for their orders.Cordy thought he really was sound asleep then, if it was not for the airplane suddenly lurching.Cries o

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
