A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1404
Sam watched as Quinn got up and walked toward Ryan, who was grinning.After all, Quinn was still into him—there was no hiding it now! When a person is in a daze, their actions genuinely reflect their thoughts.Sam's fingers twitched in turn—he reached out to Quinn but stopped just as he almost reached her sleeve.He did not want to force her. He would respect her decision, as he always did…Nonetheless, just as Quinn stood before Ryan and he reached out to her, she came to her senses and seemed to clearly see him just then. "Ryan?!" she exclaimed—she was in such a daze she thought she was dreaming. In fact, she did not even know when she fell asleep, only that her head was so groggy she could not think straight.Nonetheless, Ryan took her hand and started to lead her away. "It's late. I'm taking you home."Quinn shook his hand off, leaving him scowling."I was dizzy from sleep," she said bluntly before turning back toward Sam, who was still in the office. "I can go home wi

Or maybe Ryan just could not accept that Quinn suddenly did not love him—that she was suddenly in love with someone else?Quinn stayed patient to come clean right then. "I don't need your compromise or your apology, Ryan. I just want us to split up amicably—you, me, and Sam all grew up in the same mansion. I hope we can be family again."Ryan stared at her, silent for a long while.Quinn, however, did not want to prolong their argument—in the end, one could never wake a person pretending to sleep. All she could do was to use her actions to convey her intentions.She turned and started toward Sam—it was very late and she was still very sleepy, so she wanted to go home with him. They could not afford to relax before Damian arrived and they actually signed the agreement for the joint venture. All they could do was catch some sleep in between.However, Ryan caught her wrist with a vice-like grip just as she turned, not letting go of her no matter how she tried to free herself.Sam gl

"Let her go!" Sam growled icily, slowly and clearly.Ryan met his gaze with equal fury, and a fight looked like it could start at a moment."Let me go," Quinn was shaking hard against Ryan's grip, but he only grabbed her even harder."It hurts!" she could not help crying out right then.Sam glowered and clenched on Ryan's hand in turn. "I told you to let her go!"It was certainly hurting Ryan, but he refused to give in—the harder Sam clenched on his arm, the harder he clenched on Quinn.Even as Quinn was left on the verge of tears, he snapped coldly, "Let go! This is between me and Quinn—you don't have the right to interfere!""Really?!" Sam laughed coldly. "Did you forget that Quinn and I married, while you're nothing to her?! Are you trying to steal my wife now?! Don't you understand the shameless words you just said?!""What…!" Ryan was left stumped by Sam's comeback—he never considered Sam a threat just because Quinn used to like him, let alone consider Sam and Quinn's marr

"Sam," Quinn called out loudly to him despite knowing he was furious. "At least take Ryan to the hospital."Ryan was still family, and she did not want such discord between the brothers.And if something happened to Ryan…Sam paused.He knew that he did not actually hurt Ryan—having trained in close-quarters combat, he knew which spots in the human body would sustain serious damage. In fact, even if he lost his cool, he would not hurt Ryan's vitals.However, since Sam was not responding, she promptly whipped out her phone to call an ambulance for Ryan.She kept her distance from Ryan, however, simply watching as he lay on the floor nearby as they waited for the ambulance. She could clearly see that he was absolutely furious but did not have the strength to get up and fight Sam.She certainly had no idea why those two had been constantly fighting for a while now, and this was the second time things got physical!Even if they were distant as brothers, things would not have go

Quinn snapped right then. "How many times do I have to tell you, Ryan?! It's really over between us—we're never getting back together!"She was actually angry, just as she had no idea how to make the message sink in so Ryan would believe this was what she really thought.Why did he have to be so stubborn?!Ryan glared at Quinn and growled through his teeth right then, "You're going to regret this, Quinn!"He then slammed the door shut with a loud bang, causing it to shake from the force.The chauffeur was too afraid to make a sound, let alone ask for orders.On the other hand, Quinn was calm. "Let's go."Sam turned to study her just then.He was a little jubilant but would not dare to get too pleased—it always was a case of 'win some, lose some' whenever he and Quinn were concerned.Still, after the chauffeur started the car and started to take them home, the journey was silent once again.After all, Sam would rather die than start a conversation if Quinn did not.They aligh

Sam was not actually introverted—he was just uninterested where Quinn was concerned.Sighing, she snapped, "Neither you nor Ryan believe me, do you?!"Was she that untrustworthy?!Sam kept a neutral look, though his heart was pounding thunderously and his breathing was turning ragged. "I just think that Ryan's better than me in every way. You have no reason to choose me instead.""I don't think he's better than you," Quinn said nonchalantly."What?" Sam raised his brow, not quite believing what he just heard. Everyone knew for a fact that Ryan was smarter and more competent than he was. In fact, he had been labeled a loser and lost cause ever since a child. Nonetheless, Quinn repeated, "I don't think he's better than you. Increasingly so.""But haven't you been in love with him for years ever since you were a child?""Now that I thought about it, it's dependence rather than affection," Quinn said as she applied ointment to his bruises. "When we were children, I thought of hi

Quinn looked at Sam then, "It's late—we should get some sleep. I hope Saunderia will soon be clear of this crisis too.""Yeah." Sam nodded."I'm going back to my room, then.""Yeah.""Goodnight.""Goodnight."As Quinn got to her feet, she actually felt a reluctance to leave.Instead, she suddenly arched her back and hugged him as she gave him a peck on his forehead.Sam's heart skipped a beat and started to pound thunderously and uncontrollably.His fingers twitched, but before he could reach out to pull her into his arms, she was already gone.His fingers brushed against her clothes, and he shuddered slightly. He paused for a moment but ultimately gave up—he was worried things would spiral out of control.Moreover, it was very late and he could feel Quinn's exhaustion.There was no rush too—he just had to wait for a few days. Once that was done, they would have all the time they needed.Hence, even as his heart pounded controllably, Sam watched as Quinn left his room.

But now, Sam had used the shortest time possible to sign a strategic agreement with the world's leading authority in the new energy automotive industry.Once news of this spread, Saunderia would have no issues with sales while their stocks would skyrocket in value. Who would ever expect that the company would be facing bankruptcy one moment and suddenly leapfrog up several notches?And that was all thanks to Sam, even if it was hard to believe. Ryan had done his homework this time, and there was no question about it—Sam had taken a personal loan from John Levine when Saunderia's capital flow stagnated to make up for any shortfalls. As for Damian Craig, it was also all thanks to Sam and Quinn visiting him abroad and securing the joint venture on their own. No one in Saunderia helped at all in that undertaking.Naturally, Ryan had mixed feelings about all that.He was certainly pleased that Saunderia survived. After all, his father was rushed to the ICU after he collapsed from

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
