John kept searching the banquet hall until he inadvertently looked up at the screen above the stage.Patrick, with a bouquet of white flowers, moved closer to Cordy and slowly lifted her veil.Her beauty was hence revealed to one and all, just as the lights illuminated her figure.Crystalline glint flashed over her bridal gown, unveiling her divine beauty endlessly.Everyone held either breaths, as if the dreamlike scene before them should never be disturbed.Patrick in turn gazed at her lovingly, taking a deep breath as he repressed his burgeoning excitement.He could not resist saying, "You're so beautiful, Cordy,"Cordy flashed a breathtaking smile in turn, and Patrick felt like he would suffocate from the devastating beauty.Nearby, Zoe could not help exclaiming, "Why isn't Cordy in showbiz? There's no debating the issue—those looks alone would get her to the top."Quinn nodded beside her, since Zoe's comment was no exaggeration.It was a great blessing for anyone to witn

Nana was holding a black gun, and she waited for the perfect moment before dashing up the stage—she was bent on killing Cordy when her happiness peaked!However, just as she brought her gun level at Cordy and was about to pull the trigger, a figure lunged forward and knocked Cordy to the floor, shielding her stalwartly behind himself.Nana blinked, but one glance was enough to register that it was John.So he was going to die protecting Cordy when she was marrying someone else?!As a matter of fact, Nana knew John was looking for her, even sending everyone he could to do so.However, Nana had crossdressed and hid herself in the men's room, eluding any prying eyes to slip into the banquet hall.She actually thought for a moment that the wedding would be called off, since John would have stopped it—she was certainly surprised that it carried on in the end.Who was being overconfident here, Cordy or John?Still, she had to give it to him—his presence made her pause, and she did no

"Cordy? Cordy?!"Patrick called out to Cordy repeatedly, but she was not responding, obviously stricken with fear."It's alright now, Cordy!" Patrick gathered her in his arms, his heart breaking just then.Cordy was trembling endlessly and uncontrollably, the sight of John and Nana just now replaying in her head…Where did that shot hit?!Patrick tightened his arms around her and kept assuring her, "It's alright now, Cordy. I'm here…"The guests in the hall were flustered and panicking too.Should they leave?But which was more dangerous, staying here or going outside? And were they going to continue the wedding? But the bride appeared to be in serious shock…While the hall erupted into pandemonium, Patrick promptly made up his mind. "Let's put the wedding on hold and get out of here for now…"Cordy suddenly grabbed Patrick by the arm with a sweaty palm."Cordy?" Patrick stared at her."What happened?" Cordy finally asked.Patrick certainly had no idea—he was too concern

Sean was no close friend of Patrick's, but he knew Sean enough that he would not lie about something so important.If Sean said John would live, then he would live.He turned toward Cordy, and said confidently, "Sean said John would live. He's probably just wounded, so Sean took him to the hospital."Cordy nodded silently.She did not ask any questions—because she was afraid to.It was the same for Patrick.All he asked was whether John was alive and nothing else…"Let's go, Cordy." Patrick helped her to her feet.Right now, he had to take her somewhere safe. He had no idea if Nana planned anything else, and safety was the best policy right now.Perhaps they could go to the hospital to visit John.Running was not an option.He toko Cordy's hand to lead her away while telling the staff, "Please handle the guests appropriately—""Patrick." Cordy suddenly stopped him.Patrick did a double take and turned toward Cordy in surprise."We're staying," she said solemnly.There

Cordy turned toward Zoe in surprise—she was rarely that serious."What's wrong, Zoe? Are you in shock too?" Cordy asked in concern. "Also, where's Jay? What's he doing, not staying with you? If you're still traumatized, head home, or take a break in the anteroom…""Jay left to check on John," Zoe said bluntly. "To see if he's dead.""He's not. Sean just called, saying that he's safe and taken to the hospital—""And does that mean you don't have to care?" Zoey demanded.Cordy blinked.Zoe was clearly emotional.Furious, even."John almost died trying to save you, and you really feel nothing? Or don't you care about that at all? You'd even continue your wedding after all that—is a wedding more important than a person's life?!" Zoe snapped, her voice louder with every word.She had always worshiped Cordy, never questioning Cordy's actions.But she could not help doing it now in front of all of Cordy's guests.Did John not deserve even a sliver of her sympathy? Did Cordy have to

Cordy took a deep breath and told Quinn, "I'm counting on you now. Patrick and I will arrange for the wedding to resume.""Okay.""Wait, where's Dicky?" Cordy suddenly remembered."I just saw him follow Sean outside. He must be with John—do you want me to check?""Yeah, thanks,"Cordy and Patrick left, while Quinn called to check if Richard was with John.She went looking for Cordy after she was done, and Cordy had already confirmed the new program with the emcee, and the wedding soon resumed.Some of the guests had left, but not that many—both Cordy and Patrick were people of influence, just as many would need to consider their positions.Moreover, if the bride and bridegroom feel that they could continue, there probably was no danger.As such, Cordy and Patrick stood together one stage once more, looking like a match made in heaven.The emcee livened things up, clearing the gloom before proceeding to the new schedule."Patrick Stuart, wilt thou have this woman to thy wedde

"I pronounce you husband and wife!" the emcee announced excitedly. "You may now kiss the bride."The hall erupted in thunderous applause at his words, and confetti popped above stage.The atmosphere at the wedding reached a climax even as Patrick stood face-to-face with Cordy, staring at her.She was looking fixedly into his eyes in turn, and the lights above illuminated their bright gazes with a celestial glint."Cordy," Patrick gently called out to her."Yeah.""Will you marry me?" he asked."Yeah." Cordy nodded—she had strong principles, and no one could force her to do anything."Will you regret it?""No," Cordy replied, shaking her head.Once she married him, her world would revolve around him and their family—no one would change that.Nonetheless, Patrick said bitterly, "But I'm worried I'll regret this."As Cordy's eyes widened, he continued, "I'm afraid I can't give you a happy family."Why?" Cordy asked, a little nervous.Patrick could do anything well—why would
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1166
Patrick kept his eyes on Cordy even as he continued, "I don't want to force this. I'm tired of it. I admit that I yearned to marry you, the only woman I've ever loved and the one who makes me want to give up on my former life… To start anew. I'd admit I was looking forward to this wedding so much I wanted to make it perfect, so that I won't have regrets. Even so… At this very moment, I regret it.""Patrick…""I'm sorry, Cordy." Patrick apologized."No, you don't have to apologize. It's unnecessary…" Cordy murmured, knowing very well that Patrick was suddenly regretful because she did not want her to be sad.He was convinced that she still loved John, and nothing she said now would work.She did not want to lie to Patrick, not when he was so pure and innocent."I'm sorry for embarrassing you in front of so many guests. It's willful of me," Patrick said, and reached out to take her veil off.The guests were left stunned, since they did not see a kiss.It was certainly weird that

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
