A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1134
Zoe was really capable of making someone fall apart in an instant.And right then, she said smugly, "You now have to address me as Aunt Zoe."John took a deep breath, clearly a little annoyed.Even Jay had to be impressed with Zoe—rarely was anyone capable of leaving John bristling with just a few words. Nonetheless, Zoe remained serious, "You should seize your chance—you still have a few months, so don't blame your Aunt Zoe for not warning you now. Just give me a head's up when you've made up your mind, and I'll help."John rolled his eyes and ignored Zoe, whereas Jay hid a smile nearby.He should have brought her to meet John if he knew she would liven things up like this.It was certainly awkward when silence ensued between two grown men, especially since said silence could stay an entire day.But with Zoe around, awkwardness and whatnot was nonexistent. As such, Jay often brought Zoe with him to the hospital ever since the first visit.She certainly was not as cold as s

John's return to Levine Manor left the servants gaping at him.Some were actually spooked, since they were told that he was dead!As such, Nancy hurried out of her room upstairs and was left staring blankly for a long while when she saw John, thinking for a second that she had seen a ghost.She eventually yelped loudly, and Cora hurried out of her room as well before getting flabbergasted to see John in the living room."Y-You're not dead, John?" she asked gingerly. "Nope," John said nonchalantly. "I survived by chance."Nancy hurried out down the stairs, still in shock but mustering her courage to throw her arms around John. "Johnny, you're alive… You're really alive…"John's heart raced a little.Having grown up at Levine Manor, he knew Nancy's character best—others aside, she was genuinely kind to him.He returned her hug. "I'm home now, Aunt Nancy.""Don't you know how hard it's been over the years…" Nancy sobbed hysterically in her arms. "You could've come back sooner…

Cora certainly wanted to argue. "But, I…"John, however, remained stern and solemn. "You have much to complain about, and you feel that Zoe has stolen your rights and identity—but in reality, Zoe was the one who was hurt the most when the truth came out, and the reason is simple: rags to riches is easy, but the converse is hard."You need to understand—I'm not telling you that you're not the victim, but Zoe was never the culprit. She was sent back to where she belonged after being thrown out of this house so mercilessly, and neither of you have any excuse to vent your grievances on her."The atmosphere in the living room was stiffened.Still, Nancy was indignant to see that her daughter was left flushing by John's words, and she growled through gritted teeth, "Weren't you on my side when we first found out that Zoe wasn't my daughter? You're now completely on her side just because she's with Jay now—""It was a selfish act on my part," John said, holding her gaze without flinching

Richard called out to him in surprise. "Daddy?!"On the other hand, Cordy turned away in a split second.John did the same. "Yeah.""When did you come back?" Richard asked excitedly.John headed downstairs and walked up to them "Just did.""Where have you been? Why didn't you contact me? Your replies were half-hearted, too," Richard huffed, clearly upset. "I thought you'd gone missing again.""I had something to do.""Your face is back now," Richard pointed out in surprise just then.He was busy complaining about John being distant to him and only noticed just then that John's face was much better.There were no burn marks to be seen, and most importantly, John's original appearance was restored, and he no longer looked like Lucas Lynch."Yeah," John replied again, and glanced at Cordy.Her eyes were glued to her phone and she was not looking at him again. He actually had the feeling that she did not get a good look at him when they traded glances for a second."Are you lea

John nodded. "I know. Zoe told me."Cordy said nothing else at that, and everyone else stayed silent.She left Levine Manor after lunch but told Richard to stay since she could tell that he really wanted to stay with John.But even as she stepped outside, a familiar voice called out to her from behind. "Cordy."Cordy's heart skipped a beat, and she pursed her lips and turned to find John standing there."Your phone," he said, holding it out to her.It turned out that she had left it on the couch."Thank you," she said as she took it, surprised that she would have left it in Levine Manor—she would never usually forget things.Even so, she had to admit that her emotions were affected when she saw John's face restored to how it was, no matter how hard she tried to ignore it."When's the wedding?" John asked."We haven't decided," Cordy said. "It'll be in a few months."John smiled faintly in turn. "Congratulations.""Thank you.""Do you need a ride?" John asked. "It's easy to

Richard watched as Cordy left, looking a little disappointed."I'm sorry, Daddy," he said guiltily. "I…""It's alright," John replied and patted Richard's head.John did not realize it, but Richard really grew up as if in an instant."I thought it's still possible for you and Mommy. I didn't think she'd be so angry," Richard explained."I know." John nodded.It's not all Richard's fault either, since John could have left if he insisted.In the end, it was John who wanted to see her—even for seconds.He had his own expectations, after all."It's late. You're still growing, so go to bed soon. I'll be going now.""Yeah." Richard nodded."Do you want to come over tomorrow?""I'm going to school tomorrow, and I'm used to staying here. But I'll visit if I'm free on weekends.""Anyway, just call me if you miss me.""Okay."John left. Richard thought about it, but he ultimately got up and headed to Cordy's room.He knocked politely, and Cordy opened the door. "Mommy," Richard

The wedding would be in two months.Zoe had a feeling she could not quite describe as she browsed the photos Cordy sent, especially since John was discussing rebuilding Levine Ventures with Jay in the house.She mused if she should show John the photos and actually make him give up.Judging from the current state of things, John really showed no intention of getting Cordy back. In fact, he had put on his workaholic form again and completely focused on work.She walked over and asked, "Want another coffee?"John nodded and gently pushed his cup to the side, letting her refill it without glancing her way.Zoe was speechless—she was supposed to be his elder, his aunt, and he did not even thank her.However, she seemed used to it and refilled both John and Jay's cups.Still, she had to admit that men were so good looking when they were working seriously. They were both seated at the table in front of the glass wall, and it was honestly a feast for the eyes as the sun illuminated

Jay stopped her right then, "Zoe."Zoe sighed heavily but snapped in disappointment at John regardless, "Now you'll be forever alone!"And with that, she stormed off.John finally turned away from the laptop screen, whipping out a cigarette, thinking about it and asked, "Can I?""Do it on the balcony," Jay said. "Yelena doesn't like the smell of tobacco whenever she's home."John nodded and headed there, and Jay went with him.The sun was just right today, but Jay had the feeling that even a warmer sun would not melt the coldness in John's heart."Why don't you do something?" he asked eventually. "There won't be a chance only if you don't fight for it, but there will be if you do.""It won't work," John said, breathing out a puff of smoke. "No one can change Cordy's mind once she's made her decision."John nodded, since he knew that much about Cordy.-News about Cordy's wedding started circulating in two months, and their wedding photos were posted online soon after.There

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
