Sam said, "There's no misunderstanding. I have behaved questionably—I suddenly just came around.""How? Because your father was hospitalized?""Yes, it certainly was a huge blow," Sam said earnestly. "Even as a child, I always thought of him as a titan—a hero who would pillar the family. It never crossed my mind that he would age or get sick, and that one day, it would be up to me to do the same."Marvin was listening nearby and clearly touched by Sam's words.He was certainly rejoicing—he never imagined that Sam would become such a good son."Also, there's also my wife, Quinn," Sam said.As he turned toward her, she was actually surprised to suddenly be named. Still, Sam continued, "She helped me a lot, standing by my side as I took over management of Saunderia and resolved the problems that the company faced without complaint. I had a temper, but she'd tolerate and encourage me. Her contribution was necessary for me to calm down and focus on my work."Quinn's heart was racin

Lindsay's face fell, fueling the imagination of the journalists, who had been watching them all so closely."What happened, Mrs. Saunders? Is it something serious?!" one of them promptly asked, keen for it to be some incredible headline.Their reaction prompted the rest of the Saunders to turn toward Lindsay, and they realized something was wrong as well."What's wrong, dear?" Marvin promptly asked, but Lindsay's eyes were red with tears and she could not say a word."What's wrong? You're scaring me," Marvin repeated, starting to get nervous as well.Sam was staring straight at Lindsay as well. "What is it, Mom?"Lindsay's lips were trembling, but she still could not say a word as her tears kept rolling down her cheeks.Sam's eyes narrowed, just as he noticed that her phone screen was still lit.He promptly took it and read the text, and his face fell as well."Mr. Saunders? What happened here? What does the message say?" the journalists asked.Sam, however, completely ignore

Sam was worried he would be overwhelmed if Quinn could not accept it.Even as he looked at her now, she was clearly stunned by the news, her concern barely concealed.She could neither take it nor imagine how hurt Ryan was now.Attraction aside, she really considered Ryan her brother."Yes, he is," Sam replied. "He's at the best hospital there is.""I'm going there," Linsdsay suddenly exclaimed loudly, seemingly having come to her senses just then."Yeah, let's go." Marvin did not hesitate either."We'll all go there together," Sam quickly said, staying calm just then. "We'll have to call off the birthday banquet—leave that to me. Quinn, you arrange for our transport over to the capital."Both Marvin and Lindsay nodded, but they were clearly worried out of their minds."Okay," Quinn said, working hard to keep herself calm and went to work with Sam.Quinn called the house chauffeur, who took them straight to the airport and booked the next flight which left in an hour.Meanwh

Lindsay started bawling, while Marvin's eyes were red with tears as well—he might be old and experienced, but this was his son they were talking about. Both Sam and Quinn were silent too. Ryan was ultimately his brother, and no one would stay unmoved.As for Quinn, her tears were rolling freely after hearing that the amputation was necessary, as she did not think that it would be that serious. Moreover, Ryan had always been successful and proud. She had no idea how he would react once he woke up to find himself missing a leg. In the end, Marvin signed the consent form—keeping Ryan alive was more important than a leg.His legs almost caved soon after, and Sam had to hold him up.The surgery continued for a long while. It should have been a day of celebration for the Saunders, only for things to turn out so terrible.Even Quinn had no idea how long the surgery continued, and the hallway was suffocatingly silent when the door to the ER opened.The doctor stepped out first, taki

Sam left and returned after buying a few bottles of water.As his parents did not want any, Sam passed one to Quinn, who stared blankly for a moment before taking it.In reality, they had not eaten or drank for a day since rushing to the capital for a day, waiting until Ryan's surgery was over and standing watch over him now.And even as Quinn took a few sips, all her attention was on Ryan.That was when she suddenly realized that Ryan had woken up.It was a small twitch, and there was no other reaction—perhaps it hurt too much, or he simply did not have the strength.Still, he slowly opened his eyes."He's awake! Ryan's awake!" Quinn exclaimed excitedly. Marvin and Lindsay noticed it right then and quickly turned to Sam. "Go get a doctor!"Sam promptly did so, and the doctor arrived, entering the ICU to examine Ryan. The walls were soundproof, however, and they could not hear what the doctor was discussing with Ryan.They all watched anxiously, and the doctor stepped out

Quinn nodded, knowing that it was most important to take care of Marvin and Lindsay's health at the moment. With both of them being old, and Marvin recently suffering health issues himself, anything that happened to him now might turn out to be terrible."Let's go to the hotel for now. Sam will stay here to keep an eye on Ryan," Quinn quickly reasoned.Lindsay eventually agreed to it thanks to Marvin's insistence, though she told Sam again to immediately inform them if anything happened."Don't worry, Mom." Sam nodded. "Come—I'll walk you to the entrance."Sam watched as Marvin and Linsday got in, and then at Quinn, who was riding shotgun.A million things crossed his mind, but he ultimately buried it and stayed quiet.Quinn turned to look at Sam as well. There was a sense of an attachment in their gaze, but it ultimately went unsaid.Sam hence watched as the car sped into the distance, its tail lights disappearing before he returned to the hospital.He sat in the hallway outsi

Zoe: [Is Quinn with you at the hospital in the capital?]Zoe: [How are your parents taking the news?]Sam felt really stressed even as he replied to his friends' text, since this was a tragedy for anyone, just as he had no idea how to deal with Ryan.-Soon, it was late into the night, and Sam received a text from Quinn: [Are you asleep?][Nope.]Quinn: [Can you sleep at the hospital? You should find a place to rest—you should be careful with your own health too. You'd have to step up if your parents get overwhelmed.]Sam: [I know. It's late, though. Aren't you sleeping?]Quinn paused for a moment. [I'm a little worried about you.]Sam chuckled bitterly. [Why? I'm fine. Ryan, though…]Quinn's fingers hovered over her phone, unsure of what to say.Sam did not dwell on it either. [It's late. You should get some sleep.]Quinn: [Yeah.]Sam: [Watch my parents for me. I'm worried that they'd get overwhelmed.]Quinn: [I'll stay with them. Don't worry.]Sam put down his phone at

"Are you alone?" Ryan asked with considerable exertion.His voice was so soft Sam barely heard him, and he had to drop to a crouch to hear him clearly."Mom and Dad are worried, but they're too old," Sam quickly said. "The doctor also stopped us from visiting for another couple of days, so I sent them to the hotel. I'll call them now if you want to see them."Ryan shook his head slightly, instead asking, "What did the doctor say about me?""Your vitals are fine," Sam assured him. "But there's organ damage so you need to recover here in the ICU for a while. Don't worry—you have the best medical staff here. You'll get better.""Am I disfigured?" Ryan asked.Sam did a double take."I can't see—you're totally covered in bandages," Sam said earnestly before adding. "Your eyes, mouth, and ears are showing, but those are fine.""Am I missing limbs?" Ryan then asked. Sam paused, surprised that Ryan would ask about that.Still, it was understandable—anyone who went through such a ter

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
