A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1489
Quinn followed Sam out of Ryan's ward in silence.As they stepped outside the hospital, Sam's car was already parked there and waiting.Sam pursed his lips, intent on leaving directly since he had no idea what to tell Quinn."Sam," Quinn suddenly called out to him. "Will you be coming back to the capital after you return to North City?"Sam stopped then. "Probably not. Ryan's recovering well, and it looks like he'll be discharged soon. Mom and Dad will take him back to North City for rehab as well, so I won't have to travel back here.""So you're leaving me here alone," Quinn muttered under breath.Her words were quiet, but it struck Sam in the heart so violently and abruptly he almost could not breathe.He clenched his teeth and stayed silent, basically saying yes. What else was she hoping for?! He had already said that he was just making do with her, and once he left, it was over between them.She simply could not move him even after everything she did."Safe travels," she

"Yeah," Quinn replied."Well, Sam's busy and Saunderia is his responsibility now," Lindsay said. "It's good that he's going back to North City. Now that Ryan's much better, he doesn't need everyone all the time."She wanted to soften the blow, since she could tell immediately that Quinn was depressed, having raised Quinn herself."Yeah." Quinn nodded, smiling faintly."Mom, Dad," Ryan said just then. "It's been hard on you, so why don't you get some rest? I've already left the ICU and the doctors said I'm fine. I just need to adjust and get discharged in a few days.""Sure," Lindsay said in agreement, relieved that Ryan had improved so much.However, she also knew that Ryan wanted to be alone with Quinn. She added, "We're going now. Please take good care of Ryan, Quinn."In reality, Quinn was not given a choice aside from staying and taking care of Ryan."Okay." Quinn nodded.That in turn improved Ryan's mood considerably.As Lindsay and Marvin left, Marvin sighed audibly, up

Quinn replied, "I'm calm, and—"Then date me for six months!" Ryan snapped stubbornly, cutting her short. "I don't believe that you'd really love Sam instead of me. You're just spiteful that I left you at the altar, and you want revenge. If that's not the case, date me for six months, and if you still don't fall for me in that time and want to go back to Sam, I won't protest!"Quinn was taken aback even as she stared at Ryan, knowing very well that she would not love him no matter how long had passed.Nevertheless, she agreed to it because she wanted Ryan to give up and end things with him."Fine," she said.On the other hand, Ryan was smiling the instant Quinn said yes—he was confident that even after losing a leg, he had what it takes to make Quinn love him again.Sam was nothing to him, and he believed that Quinn would not give up on a fine man like himself and settle for less. She was not that stupid."I have another condition," he then said."What is it?""I want you to

Sam appeared nonchalant, but his fingers clenched on the steering wheel, revealing his emotion.Still, he soon drove steadily into Saunders Mansion, and Quinn helped Ryan out of the car.He was basically leaning his whole body against her, and they appeared intimate—even trained—probably because they were used to doing that.Everyone headed to the drawing room, with Marvin and Lindsay feeling a little nostalgic.It had been over two weeks since they had been home, and they did not really sleep soundly on a different bed—one always finds better comfort in their own bed.That was why Marvin and Lindsay immediately went back to their rooms to sleep.With Ryan saying he was tired as well, Quinn wheeled him to his room.No one else was in the living room save for Sam, who sat there waiting.He could have left, but he promised Ryan to wait since Quinn had something to say.He kept waiting without knowing how long it would take—maybe she and Ryan were already asleep and would sleep a

Having confirmed the time, there was nothing left to say—Sam and Quinn simply sat there in silence.After a long while, Sam suddenly stood up.As Quinn looked at him, he said, "I'm going now."He left without waiting for her response and did not stop, just like when he left the capital early before.Quinn's vision was blurred by tears as she watched Sam go further and further away…-The next day, Quinn and Sam arrived at the civil bureau as agreed.Sam was there first and waited for Quinn outside.He saw her alighting in the distance and talking to someone in the car.Sam could tell it was Ryan even without looking, and averted his eyes, fiddling with his lighter.He can smoke in a public space like this, so this was the only way to get his fix.Quinn then jogged up to Sam. "Sorry to keep you waiting.""No, I was early," Sam replied, sliding his lighter into his pocket. "Let's go in."They headed inside, and Sam passed Quinn the divorce agreement as they waited in line. "

Sam basically never showed up around Quinn through the next month. When his parents asked him multiple times to return home for dinner, Sam would refuse, saying he had to work overtime.In reality, everyone in the family knew Sam was just refusing to go.On the other hand, Ryan was recovering well—the family doctor came in every day to check on his progress, and he could use a prosthetic at the rate he was recovering.The Saunders were pleased with that, while Quinn was constantly by his side, helping him with rehab and spending time with him.One day, Quinn got a call from Zoe, asking her to have dinner at her place.Zoe complained that since she would be giving birth soon, and that also meant postpartum care would soon follow—she would not be able to eat anything as she liked, and she wanted to have her fill before that.Quinn thought she should let loose a little as well.She had no idea if she had been stressed lately, but there was simply nothing to look forward to, so sh

Things got a little awkward, though Zoe quickly said, "That's not the same for us.""How so?" Bob asked."I never loved you," Zoe said bluntly. "Of course we can be friends."Bob was left staring at her—talk about going for the jugular!What, was she worried she had not hurt him enough and had to keep rubbing salt on his wound?That was when Zoe deliberately asked Quinn, "Don't you think you wouldn't actually be friends if you were really in love with him?"Quinn pursed her lips in silence, and it was Sam who said, "Nope. Maybe you find said person not worth your time."Quinn held her tongue right then, while Zoe shot Sam a glare.Getting into a relationship and even marrying? He was more suited to be forever alone!Still, Jay quickly tried to smooth things over. "It's rare for us to gather, and the next time would be my baby's birthday. Open another bottle, Bob. Let's get drunk.""Yeah," Bob was certainly sharp.This world where only he got hurt was already a husk, and he d

Zoe: [Honestly, these two are as stressful as me and Jay back in the day.]Cordy: [At least you're self aware.]Zoe: […We're getting off-topic, sister.]Cordy smiled. [Let Quinn indulge a little tonight. We can talk to her tomorrow.]Zoe: [Fine.]And with that, Quinn drank five beers on her own that night—it was basically her limit, and she lay sprawled, her head muddled.Both her stomach and her heart hurt, and she really felt frustrated.She needed to vent, but she had been keeping a lid on it because she was the type who never cried no matter how bad things got.Whether it was her parents dying when she was a child and leaving her with no refuge, she could never reveal her true self."That's about enough," Zoe told the others right then.Cordy echoed, "It's late, Johnny. We should get home soon too."Now basically a slave to the missus, John would spit out the alcohol he was just chugging if Cordy so much as said it.As he hurried home with her, Zoe shot Bob a look, who

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
