A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 292
Now, Dicky was shaking with inconsolable rage. He had been bullied, and his beloved mother was mocked for protecting him; she almost got hit for it, too!Hence, he took the trash can off Jerry's head, his little cheeks looking stern as he demanded, "Apologize to my mommy and me!"John’s lips curled up in a smile. Dicky had always been quiet, withdrawn, and poor at expressing himself. He would never behave like a spoiled child around him either; that honor belonged to only Cordy.Yet, he was now able to strut and demand an apology. All children can definitely be taught!Nonetheless, Jerry kept bawling and refused to apologize. Adam suddenly pulled Jerry aside and slapped him.Even as Jerry bawled harder, Adam barked at him, "Apologize, now!"That certainly scared Jerry—he had always been the little tyrant at home, and his father had never laid a finger on him. Now, however, he had no choice but to apologize tamely, with an almost inaudible voice, "I'm sorry.""Louder!" Dick

Cordy stared coldly at Adam and Eva.Even if they looked pitiable now, there was a reason for it.She took Dicky's hand, and told John, "I'll get Dicky cleaned up since he has other events soon. As for the rest…do what you will."John nodded—he really shouldn’t have worried that Cordy would be lenient. Even if she never went out of her way to hurt others, she wasn’t the type to suffer an insult lying down.It was what made her free-spirited yet domineering. After Cordy left with Dicky, John turned back towards Adam and Eva, his gaze suddenly cold.He wasn’t as soft as Cordy, who was satisfied with an eye for an eye.Rather, he wanted ten eyes for one. They were going to bankrupt him, was it?Well, he would show them what the term truly meant!-As Cordy gently wiped away the filth on Dicky's face, she asked sympathetically, "Are you upset you were bullied, Dicky?""No, Mommy," Dicky grinned. "You protected me, and Daddy taught them a lesson. I also did to Jerry what he

Cordy smiled slightly and gave Dicky both thumbs-up in encouragement, showing that she didn’t mind, let alone care about keeping up appearances.As the teachers arranged the groups, they noticed that one of the children didn’t have both parents with her—even though elite private schools like this usually insisted on having both parents attend school activities.Before things could get awkward, Dicky suddenly asked one of the teachers, "Can my mommy join us?""But your mommy's already here…""That's my mommy," Dicky pointed at Cordy on the stands. The teacher simply presumed it to be a child's innocent banter, and didn’t dwell on it as she said, "Of course."She went off to invite Cordy, who agreed to it since Dicky was so eager, and played mommy for the little girl.As the relay was about to begin, Cordy and Dicky were close enough to speak to each other although they were in different groups."Are you good at running, Mommy?""Of course," Cordy said proudly. "Where do you th

Jessica looked like she was in absolute pain, and John dropped to a crouch with his back to her. "Come. I'll give you a piggyback."Jessica felt a little upset at that—John always went to the gym, and he was definitely capable of scooping her up in his arms. And yet, he was only giving her a piggyback.Since there was no way she could reject it, she forced herself to lean on his broad back.John didn’t even hold on to her thighs, only allowing her to wrap her arms around his neck. To make things even worse, he barely walked a few feet and quickly put her down on one of the spectator seats, saying, "I'm calling in a chopper to take you to the hospital.""You don't have to," Jessica said quickly. "That's unnecessary. It's not that serious.""I'd rest easy if you go," John said firmly, so Jessica kept mum.Even now, she had no idea if John was actually worried about her. In fact, his unnecessary gesture only made them seem distant—as if he was just resolving some annoying issue at

After dinner, Cordy helped Dicky take a bath as usual. She then handed him a storybook to read by himself while she took a bath.When she undressed, she looked at the mirror to see a large bruise on her rear flank. It hurt from the slightest movement, but she gritted her teeth and finished her bath. She changed into her pajamas, then took a tube of ointment from the first-aid kit.She stood before the full-length mirror in the living room, pulling up her shirt and lowering her trousers slightly, baring her hip so that it was easier to apply the ointment.However, she blinked just as she was about to do it—she saw John in the mirror's reflection.He was suddenly approaching her from the living room, as if he had been there for a while without her noticing.Cordy promptly lowered her shirt and pulled up her trousers, scowling as she snapped, "What are you doing here?"She clearly recalled changing her door password to stop him, and therefore never expected him to enter anyway witho

Cordy had no idea how long had passed, or how much progress John made—or if he was done with applying the ointment.She had basically lost all patience when she suddenly felt the touch of his cool lips on her waist, away from the bruise.She wheeled on him right then, stumbling backward and shoving herself against the mirror, bristling as she snapped at John, "What do you think you're doing? You said you weren't interested!" "Can't help it.""Did you forget you're married?" Cordy exploded—could he be an even worse scumbag at this point?Nonetheless, John replied loudly and clearly, "No. I'm not married yet." "Even if you aren't, you're engaged. The wedding’s but a matter of time," she retorted. "Or maybe you think you can mess around all you like before your wedding, even when you have a fiancee? Are contractual agreements the only thing capable of making you restrain yourself?"John was actually left speechless by her rant.In the end, he was simply bewitched and failed to s

Cordy quickly turned towards Vince and said quietly, "I'll be going with the prosecutors, so you're taking over the rest. The invitation to tender is definitely going to be called off, but keep dragging it out until I can return and clean up this mess.""Yes, ma'am," Vinc replied quickly, but he could hardly hide his apprehension.He was genuinely impressed that she could remain composed even at a time like this.With those simple instructions, Cordy left with the prosecutors. Nonetheless, news of Cordy's arrest soon spread all over North City, leaving everyone in shock.She certainly had been making a lot of headlines lately; whenever one headline was cooling off, she would get another headline which was somehow more sensational. It was as if she existed on trending searches in a loop!John was having a meeting abroad when Cordy was arrested.Zoe called him to inform him of her arrest, but he hung up the first time.When she called him again, he already sensed something was w

Sam nonchalantly picked up a towel, wrapped it around his waist, and made a call in front of the hotel room's glass window. On the other end, Quinn Summer answered the call when she saw that it was him. "How much do you need?" Their parents were the ones who arranged their marriage, so they basically felt nothing for each other.However, Sam's parents liked Quinn so much that they tried to stop Sam from messing around with other women even after they married. Thus, Quinn was given full control of their bank accounts, and Sam wouldn’t contact her unless he ran out of money.In reality, Quinn wouldn’t set a limit to his finances. She would always give him a fixed allowance every month, and more if he ran out. After all, every cent she had was still the Saunders' property; Sam would ask for cash every time to ensure that his family never found out.After three years of marriage, they were certainly used to it."Actually, just send a set of respectable clothes and ask your lawye

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
