A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1361
The next morning, Lindsay called to say that Marvin had woken up, but Sam was absolutely refusing to go to the hospital.For one, he woke up with his eye swollen and even blacker, which was very amusing. Secondly, he did not want to see Ryan ever again.Still, Quinn dragged him to the hospital anyway—they were family and were only going to run into each other inevitably.Marvin appeared enfeebled in the ICU, and the doctor said that he needed time to recover.However, he seemed worried about work and pestered Lindsay to call in his assistant Peter. Lindsay naturally refused. "You should be resting, dear. The doctor said that you're really sick, so get some proper rest. Don't worry about anything.""I'm not. I just want to know about the company's situation—""If you're not worried, then you don't have to know," Lindsay told him. "Don't worry, the company would still run itself even without you. Quit worrying, you know your health matters.""I…""Dad," Ryan spoked up, unable

However, Quinn was still young, and most of the elders in Saunderia—especially the board members—had no confidence in her.As such, she could not keep the company in line. She might even get harassed while her every move would be impeded. Marvin could therefore anticipate that Saunderia had collapsed into a mess internally by now because he was the only one who could keep things together."I'll go with Quinn," Sam suddenly said.Everyone was left stunned, while Quinn turned toward Sam in surprise."You wanted me to work, didn't you? That's what I'll do right now," Sam told Marvin. "It's a one-time offer—you either stay down and rest and let me and Quinn handle the company's situation. Or you can go back to your office right now, but in that case, don't ever hope that I'll ever set foot in Saunderia."Marvin was hesitant, just as he doubted Sam's ability to handle the company's situation. In fact, Marvin himself only went to work every other day, so there was no way he had the co

"You just think that friends are as materialistic as you imagined because you have none," Sam retorted. "All my friends are for life, and they would go to great lengths for me if I'm really in trouble.""Hah!" Ryan snorted. "Fair-weather friends, more like.""I have no reason to explain myself to you." Sam shrugged and turned to Marvin. "Just rest, Dad. Leave Saunderia to me and Quinn—I'll tell you if I can't resolve the issue."Marvin was hesitant, but considering that Sam was actually going to work, and John might help… It might be no crisis at all.He nodded. "Alright. I'm leaving it to you and Quinn."Ryan was left staring at Marvin in disbelief, but he could not say what was on his mind just then either. After all, he did not want to work in his father's stead—the consequences would only be unimaginable if he failed. If anything, he simply could not accept that their father would really put his faith in Sam.Pursing his lips, Ryan said, "Let's hope that you can surprise us."

At the same time, if Sam ever said anything, he would never go about it half-baked.Naturally, Quinn did not want to pressure him either.-As they arrived at the Saunderia headquarters, Sam alighted after preparing himself mentally and went in with Quinn.Every employee who passed them would greet them as soon as they saw them. "Mr. Sam. Ms. Summer."Though Sam felt a little awkward, he did not want to show it.As such, his visage appears haughty. He also appeared especially intimidating if he did not smile, all the more because of his tall figure.Still, that was fine—Quinn believed he could take the time to change that."Let's just get the details on the ongoing crisis and come up with a solution for now," she said. "I just called Peter Lang, your dad's assistant. He's coming right now to brief us.""Okay," Sam said, already behind his desk as he whipped out a mirror to check his right eye repeatedly.Soon, there was a knock on the door."Come in."Peter entered and gree

Sam said, "I'll come up with something."Peter looked up at Sam in disbelief, though he was not at all convinced that Sam could come up with a solution. The man never even took any notice of Saunderia when things were going smoothly!Now that it was a mess, Peter was never going to believe that Sam would shape up and take the reins, let alone have what it takes.Nonetheless, Quinn spoke up just then. "Thank you. Now that we understand the specifics, let us have some time to resolve the issue. You can get back to work for now."She naturally could tell that Peter was belittling Sam and had no faith in the man. She therefore quickly sent Peter away—who knew if his attitude would provoke Sam. With Sam's fiery temper, he might just let loose once things went south. Moreover, they were in the middle of a crisis and naturally should cater to him.As Peter left worriedly, Quinn turned to Sam. "So our most pressing issue is capital and then the censure of our core technology. You could

After all, there was plenty of work to do for Sam, while every minute counted for John.John turned to glance at Cordy, who was nestled in his arms. She was awoken by him taking a call, and his brow was clearly furrowed in displeasure.He lay down again, pulling her toward himself, and he started nuzzling her collarbone while his hands danced around her waist…"Stop…" Cordy purred, fidgeting as vaguely sensing his amorous intentions. "I'm so tired…"It only encouraged John. "As long as you enjoy it.""I don't," Cordy complained, shoving him away. "You say that every time—""And you're actually hoarse," John finished, leaving her blushing.It was certainly embarrassing when they were alone on that islet, and every detail was too obscene to describe. Still, Cordy snapped, "Let me sleep or I'm going back to North City…"John promptly kept his hands to himself—he had yet to fully enjoy his… perks, though it would probably be more appropriate to say he had yet to have enough.As

Sam handed Quinn a glass of water. "Here, have a drink."Quinn was surprised—he never was this caring with anyone. Still, her stare left him embarrassed, and he averted his eyes, huffing stubbornly, "Your voice is hoarse. It's grating."Quinn did not take it to heart—he probably would not stop being a tsundere. "The board meeting will start at 2 PM," she reminded him. "You have to attend it in place of your father and announce your tenure as the acting board chairman.""Already?" Sam exclaimed in surprise."Is that going to trouble you?""No," Sam replied, bracing himself just then. "I just didn't expect you to be so efficient.""Well, John is right about keeping the company in line," Quinn said seriously. "That means it can't go leaderless, although the meeting might turn out to be a bloodbath as well… Even so, you have my unconditional support.""It's just a bunch of geezers," Sam huffed nonchalantly. "I can handle them.""With age comes wisdom. Don't let your guard down,

Sam really wanted to curse out loud. Was he really that incompetent that his presence would make the company bankrupt sooner?!These geezers were never this rude when he came to Saunderia before—they would actually defer to him and even greet him properly. Now, they were being dismissive just because his father was in the hospital!"Just leave already. Stop wasting our time." One of the board members waved him off dismissively. Sam decided to stop running around in circles with the geezers and cut straight to the point. "Saunderia is merely facing two problems right now. The first is stagnating capital flow—we urgently need money, but the banks are refusing to lend us any. The second is the censure against our core technology, leading to overstock of our products and severe losses."The board members were all left taken aback, shocked that Sam would have taken the initiative to find out the issues plaguing Saunderia. However, most were still not interested. "If you know 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
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1511
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
