A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1464
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

Ryan's other senses were still intact, and he could feel everything except for his right leg!"Calm down, Ryan." Sam did his best to calm Ryan down. "You're just hallucinating from the morphine. You'll feel it once the effect passes and you've recovered.""No, I really can't feel it. It's really gone…" Ryan started to convulse, losing control of himself right then.Whatever Sam said, Ryan was dead sure he had lost his leg.At the same time, the monitors attached to him begin to blare in the ICU room, while Sam promptly called for the doctor.All the medical staff rushed to the scene immediately, checking the instruments for a moment before quickly wheeling Ryan to the ER.Sam was actually spooked that Ryan would react like that—he seemed to have seen Ryan almost flatline right there!As he followed the medical staff hurrying to the ER, Marvin, Lindsay, and Quinn just happened to arrive at the hallway outside.They were there to visit Ryan since they could not stay calm. In fact

As the doctor interrogated Sam, he pursed his lips and replied, "He knows he lost his leg.""How could you tell him?!" the doctor cried in agitation. "Didn't I say not tell him?! He's weak, and knowing about his amputation wouldn't work for his recovery! Can't you be more careful as his family member?!"And when the doctor was done, Lindsay could not hold back either. "How could you be so terrible, Sam?! Don't you understand Ryan's condition?! Why would you tell him?! Don't you know what's right at your age?! If he's hurt because of you… I-I'll give up!"Lindsay started bawling at that, and Marvin had to comfort her.However, he was clearly angry as well and told Sam, "What you did today is really disappointing, Sam. You're thirty—don't you understand the consequences?"Sam wanted to explain himself but soon decided it was futile.It was always that way since they were children—he would always be the one at fault whenever he and Ryan were at odds.If he said he never told Ryan n

Her eyes filled with pain, Lindsay was exceedingly agitated since she had been staring fixedly at Ryan. "What's going on?! Why aren't they letting us see him?!"A nurse stepped outside just then. "I'm sorry, but everyone should leave. The patient needs to rest.""I'm staying," Lindsay insisted. "I'm staying with my son.""He asked for this, I'm afraid," the nurse told her. "He says he doesn't want to see you."Lindsay was left hysterical right then. "Why won't he see us? How could he stand being alone there…""You should give him time to accept reality," the nurse reasoned. "You should go. We'll inform you right away if anything happens.""I'm staying." Lindsay remained stubborn.Marvin did not try to talk her out of it since he wanted to stay with Ryan too.Suddenly, Lindsay's tone turned cool as she said, "You should go, Sam."As Sam looked up at her, she added, "You've stayed here the whole day. You should get some rest."Sam pursed his lips, knowing that his mother did no

Sam had just stepped outside the hospital and was ready to get in a cab when Quinn ran outside, calling out to him loudly, "Sam!"He glanced at her, almost telling the cabbie to leave just then. However, seeing that she appeared pressed, he decided not to leave her behind even if that meant being scolded by her.Quinn was panting as she got in the cab—she thought Sam was going to leave without her.Fortunately, he did not, or she would have to take her own cab back to the hotel. Though that would actually be fine, since Sam was upset and needed time alone, there was no telling if he would go to the hotel, and if he did not answer his calls on top of that…Either way, she was worried about his present state of mind.Sam waited as she got in before telling the cabbie to head to their hotel, and the journey there was silent.Sam stared outside at the streets without saying anything. Though Quinn tried to muster her courage to talk to him a few times, she remained silent as she w

Quinn then said, "Ryan was rushed to the ER again. You're worried your parents would be overwhelmed, so you'd rather take a scolding so they can vent rather than tell them the truth.""I'm not that noble. I just didn't want to talk," Sam said darkly."No way that's true," Quinn said, reading his mind.He was never a good liar anyway, and he had a million different tells whenever he did lie."You're really kind, Sam," Quinn said earnestly—even more than Ryan.It was true that Ryan was the pride of the Saunders family ever since a child. Though he respected his parents, he only ever took from the family and never gave anything.On the other hand, Sam was often neglected by the family. Though he was mischievous and incorrigible, he would be there for the family when anything happened.Getting embarrassed by Quinn's words, Sam was blushing up to his ears. "I'm going to sleep."He was no sensationalist, and he would not get started now.Quinn watched as he headed straight to the ba

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
