A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 123
As the song started to play, Cordy sang it with her gracefully melodious voice.Everyone was still pouring each other drinks, but they all stopped when they heard Cordy's singing, left in shock by her voice.Even Zoe was rubbing her ears. "Such a shame she's not taking part in The Voice. She sings so much better than me.""Aren't you an actress?" Bob pointed out."...Can't I develop into other areas?" Zoe retorted."Well, she sings well, but I wonder…" Bob turned to John just then. "Is she hinting at something with those lyrics?"As John narrowed his eyes, Zoe appeared speechless. "What are you thinking?!" Zoe snapped. "It's just a song, or are you saying John is cheating on Cordy?!""I said nothing," Bob quickly said in defense.Soon, Cordy was done singing, and everyone applauded her. She was too engrossed with singing to notice that everyone was listening to her attentively and the applause left her blushing.She quickly put down the microphone and left for the washroom

Even so, John simply had no idea what his mistake was! Nonetheless, Cordy said plainly, "You're dating Zoe, aren't you?" It was obvious John would keep bothering her if she was not direct.And she refused to be direct before because adults did not have to go that far to embarrass each other, and they were not enemies either.But after all her rejections failed, she decided to just be direct. John was left blinking, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.Since he was silent from shock, Cordy continued, "I've known Zoe long enough to tell that she's a good person—a little bold at times, but she's kind and naive. I don't know why you're dating her, and it could well be a tit for tat and not meant to last, but I really feel that Zoe deserves better treatment. If you really want a family and a mother for Dicky, she's not a bad choice.""She certainly isn't," John said in agreement.Cordy felt that pain in her chest again but she ignored it, as she accepted that John was s

Cousin?!Cordy flinched while she was still in John's arms, and he clearly felt her move!"Come here," John then told Zoe. Zoe did so tentatively with an unsteady gait. Though her cheeks were flushed from alcohol, she looked utterly afraid, like a child about to ask their parents for forgiveness."Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you making out," she said with a wounded tone. "I just needed to pee."On the other hand, although Cordy had been resistant toward being intimate with John, she was left so utterly awkward she buried her head within John's embrace, too ashamed to show her face.John certainly knew that Cordy was embarrassed, but he was not letting her off the hook either.He pressed, "And what do you call my grandfather?""John, you're scaring me." Zoe's pupils were dilating—did he somehow lose every bit of intelligence from making out?!Still, seeing the serious look from her cousin, she had to answer honestly. "Grandfather."John lowered his gaze then and asked C

Even as Cordy looked utterly guilty, John was studying her seriously as he asked, "I'm curious. What made you think that I was dating Zoe, Ms. Sachs?"Still, his brow was relaxed, showing his good mood.Cordy bit her lip, but she knew that John was going to be ruthless if she told him that Kyle Jessop had misled her."Supposing that I were dating Zoe, it's even more curious that you'd find it logical that I would have you two appear in the same place," John continued, putting weight behind every word. "How irresponsible do you think I am toward a relationship that I could do something like that?!"Cordy could not say anything against that.She definitely should have suspected something, especially with her calmness and wit. But for some reason, she presumed that John and Zoe were really dating without questioning it.Now that she understood that, she realized that she was definitely being foolish—could she have been infected by Kyle's stupidity? Or perhaps… Even as that thoug

Cordy and John returned to the private room, though Bob and the rest promptly pulled John along to drink after they returned.Not wanting John to worry about her being uncomfortable, she picked some songs to sing.And with that, the ladies were singing while the men got drunk in that private room.Soon, it was getting late.After getting a little buoyed from all the singing, Zoe leaned against Cordy and asked drunkenly, "So? What did my dear John do to you?""Nothing." Cordy quickly shook her head."Nothing?" Zoe studied Cordy just then, clearly skeptical. "I could clearly sense him being in such a better mood after you two returned. Also, you're drinking freely now, even though we had a hard time asking you before… Did you really do nothing to him?"Cordy started to look a little guilty under Zoe's stare, and Zoe was suddenly smiling pointedly with an understanding look on her face. "I get it.""It's not what you think," Cordy quickly said—she did not need imagination to know

Presuming that Jay had left as well, Zoe picked up the handbag she left on the couch and prepared to leave."Blargh!"That was when she heard retching from the washroom of the private room.Zoe hesitated for a moment, but she eventually entered to find Jay crouching in front of the toilet, puking his guts in it.Zoe pursed her lips—Jay had always been a light drinker, but he was surprisingly enthusiastic today. Did he not have to work tomorrow?She was just smart enough to apply for leave tomorrow, since she knew she was definitely going to be drinking tonight.Meanwhile, Jay was actually starting to vomit bile even as he questioned why people love alcohol.He would never touch it unless absolutely necessary!Even as he pushed himself off the floor, his legs must have gotten numb from crouching too long, and he started to teeter over to the side…But just before he fell, a familiar figure suddenly caught him. And that dainty figure seemed to be exerting every bit of streng

Their car eventually arrived at Levine Manor, and Jay was running as soon as he got out of the car, vomiting endlessly.Zoe stood behind him, watching as his head sank between his knees. He was just fine in the car just now, but he somehow looked like he was going to puke his guts out again.She began, "Should I get the family doctor—""Achoo!" Jay sneezed again before she got close, and then continued to vomit.It was an utterly horrendous scene! Zoe took a step back and said, "I'll get the doctor."With that, she headed into the manor.-Rudy Johnson—the family doctor—helped Jay into the manor eventually, since Zoe really did not have the strength to do it.As she stepped outside of her room after taking a shower, she saw that the door to Jay's room was still open and that the lights within were lit.She hesitated for a moment, but she eventually entered. Rudy actually had to hook Jay to an IV bag, and the man's face was pale white as he lay in bed.He looked less lik

Cordy turned and keyed in her door passcode, then entered after the door opened.Even so, the man who agreed to leave just now remained standing outside."It's late. You should go," she urged him again."Okay," John replied—yet another quick answer. But his body was honest and remained still.Cordy gritted her teeth and turned to shut the door before turning on the door monitor.John was still standing there.Speechless, she opened the door again right then and asked, "Weren't you going to leave?""I just remembered something…" he said. "You haven't given me anything for my birthday."Cordy pursed her lips—she thought that they were parting ways tonight! Giving him anything would only have given him hope, and her more hassle."Anything would do," John said with a serious look, obviously hinting at something.Cordy sighed, having this feeling that she would not get him to leave if she did not satisfy him.Heaving a deep sigh, she resigned herself and walked up to him, stood

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
