A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1349
With those words, Sam turned to leave.Quinn quickly tried to follow, but Ryan firmly held her in place. "Don't!"Forced to watch as Sam left, Quinn gritted her teeth and wheeled on Ryan. "Let me go!"Ryan was clearly furious too. "You'll get hurt if you get close to him now!""Yes, but he's my husband and I should be with him whatever happens," Quinn retorted determinedly. "Let me go!""When did you become so stubborn?!" Ryan frowned, his tone clearly upset."I—""Quinn," Lindsay called out to her just then.Quinn's agitation finally eased slightly, and she turned toward Lindsay.She had returned to her bed, looking enfeebled and there were clear tear stains on her cheeks. "Ryan's right—it's dangerous to be around Sam right now. Let him calm down before going to him.""Exactly—he's not calm right now. I'm worried he'll do something—""He's fine!" Ryan snapped, cutting her short. "He always causes trouble for everyone anyway! It's never changed ever since we were children!"

Quinn started with Lindsay until she really fell asleep and gently tucked her under her blanket. She turned to find Ryan on the couch, still clearly furious after what happened with Sam.In reality, Quinn did not get Ryan—how could he accuse Sam for neglecting their parents when Ryan himself never stayed at their side?Still, she could only purse her lips.She was unable to say anything damning because of the years of sentiment she harbored for Ryan—he was definitely good to her when they were children.She was always grateful toward the Saunder family too, aside from Sam, since she always thought he did not like her.As such, she asked Ryan softly, "Shouldn't you get your face looked at by a doctor, Ryan?"The bruise and swelling on his face was certainly obvious…Ryan looked up at her in turn, but he said, "I'm fine."Quinn could tell that it was all just flesh wounds—she had no idea when it started, but she had this growing feeling that Sam actually showed propriety despit

Quinn stared at Ryan in confusion. "Why would you talk to your parents?""Don't you know?" he asked in return.Quinn scowled right then. "I don't know what you're getting at."Disappointment showed in Ryan's eyes right then. "When did you become so stubborn, Quinn? You used to be kind and understanding."Quinn pursed her lips—she thought then that Ryan had changed too.In the past, he would never have put her in an awkward situation. In fact, he would prioritize her feelings, cheer her up if she was down, and certainly not hurt her with words."Look, it's my fault I abandoned you, but I've told you I had no choice but to leave you at the altar. I thought you'd understand, but you'd still get petty with me over it." Ryan sighed then. "You've changed so much, Quinn."Quinn bit her lip as she listened to Ryan's accusations toward her.She certainly could admit that she bore a grudge from being dumped, since anyone in her place would. However, she never did anything drastic—she sim

Quinn had never asked the Saunders for anything, nor was she ambitious.In fact, she was always worried that she would cause trouble for others.And yet, here Ryan was accusing her of doing just that.She certainly had no idea what she did wrong!Still, she calmly asked, "How did I cause you trouble, Ryan?""You don't know?!" Ryan snorted impatiently. "Sam has really been a bad influence on you over the years, Quinn.""What did I do?!" Quinn demanded slowly and clearly, taking a stand right then."Everything you're doing now. It's all just a display of your dissatisfaction at me for leaving you at the altar," Ryan said bluntly. "That's why you're cold-shouldering me so I'll comfort you."Quinn realized with a start then that patience had never been Ryan's strong suit.Even as a child, Ryan's only priority was to study, and he loved it because it was proper. To give him the space to focus, no one would disturb him whenever he announced that he was studying. It was only after h

Ryan continued with righteous indignation, "Whatever, Quinn—I don't want to keep arguing. I'm not the type who sweet-talks people, and I'll use words instead of actions to prove my feelings for you. I really hope you can understand my perspective."Quinn simply stared at him, feeling that he was a stranger for the first time.If she played to his whims, he would still be kind, understanding, and brotherly. If she did not, he would become self-obsessed, convinced that everything he thought was right and allowing no one to say otherwise.Had she been looking at him through rose-tinted glasses all this while? It was certainly disappointing to see how far her idealized version of him was from the real thing.On the other hand, Ryan took her long silence as her giving in.He sighed, appearing disappointed and working hard to forgive her, as if he had been hugely tolerant of her.Somehow, it annoyed Quinn. He was somehow both using emotional blackmail against her and behaving like

Quinn actually knew that he had woken Lindsay up, but she kept her voice down whenever she spoke anyway.On the other hand, Ryan never did—even if he knew that his mother was sleeping, he did not care as he vented his feelings.Quinn shrugged and gave up just then. She did not want to press the issue of Ryan changing as a person… or that she never noticed that side of him that many others did not know of.Right now, she just wanted to live her life and be with Sam."I'm going now. Sam's hurt too—I need to check on him," she said and turned to leave without another word.Ryan growled coldly in her wake, "I don't care if you're trying to be petty and said those things to upset me, but this is your final warning: if you step out of that door, we're never getting back together. I refuse to cater to the whims of hand-me-downs."Quinn pursed her lips—so she was a hand-me-down in his mind already. No one would have stayed unscathed by such a humiliating term, but it really was no sk

Lindsay stayed silent for a long while as she stared at Ryan.He was certainly a good boy in everyone else's mind, never once causing them worry ever since he was a child—always hard working and striving to do his best.On the other hand, they had to scold Sam ever since he was a kid. It was always a mystery how another child from the same parents could never excel like Ryan.But now, she was at a loss.Had they idealized Ryan so much that even a slight flaw seemed unacceptable? Nonetheless, she said, "Ryan, you should stop trying to force Quinn to come back to you."Ryan's soft gaze turned sharp right then, and he glared at Lindsay incredulously. "What are you talking about, Mom?! How is this forcing?! Don't you know that Quinn has always loved me?! I would've married her that day if my hand wasn't forced!""What's passed has passed…""Which is why I wanted to correct that mistake," Ryan growled indignantly.Lindsay sighed. "I said it has passed—I didn't say it was a mistake
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1356
Lindsay took a deep breath to calm herself down. Her husband was still in the ICU—she could not afford to be admitted too.Taking a moment to calm down, she said, "Ryan, don't jump to conclusions before you see the full picture. Do you know what Quinn faced at that wedding, all alone? The whole city was ready to mock her—sure, you could say that we should prioritize her life's happiness over contempt. However, Quinn would rather have someone save her at that time and finish that wedding when she was alone and helpless. She's not as brave as you think, and she only refrains from crying or throwing tantrums because she doesn't want to cause trouble for us. If you really know how she feels, you'd know that she needs love and yearns to be protected after her parents' deaths. She's afraid of being alone and abandoned!"Even so, Ryan's eyes were red with rage and obstinacy—he and Quinn loved each other in the first place and that should be the way it was for the rest of their lives!No

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
