A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 393
"Why?" Cordy asked, working hard to keep herself calm."I'll explain when I get back," John replied. "Are you going to announce your wedding date?" Cordy asked bluntly. John was left silent for heartbeats, while Cordy made herself very clear. "It's already expected. It doesn't affect me at all.""That's not all—""You're scarily selfish, John," she said, putting weight behind every word.John felt suffocated right then.At the same time, Cordy continued, "Whether this marriage is by your will or otherwise, Jessica Stuart considers you her partner now. It’s a legitimate relationship, so why would you keep clinging to me? Is this fair to her? Sure, I'm not that much of a saint to sympathize with someone who wants me dead, but it still disgusts me how irresponsible you can be—to her and to me.""I will never marry Jessica Stuart," John repeated, his tone somber and obviously repressing his rage. "That's your business," Cordy snapped, losing control as well. "You can do whateve

Jay said, "Johnny would never hurt you.""Well, he’s really testing the limits of my patience!" Cordy snapped, and shut the door violently in his face. Jay pursed his lips; he could see Cordy's rage. He wasn’t sure if John would ever earn Cordy's forgiveness from this.Behind the door, Cordy's heart was ablaze even as she repeatedly told herself to calm down and think of a way to leave.She wasn’t about to let anyone do whatever they wanted to her, let alone someone like John!Her eyes narrowing, she called Patrick."What time are you arriving? I'll be there to receive you," he said, as forthright as ever."I can't make it. There's people stopping me."Patrick paused for a moment, but soon asked, "John Levine?""Yeah.""And you need my help.""That’s right.""I'll be right there," Patrick said without hesitation."Okay."Cordy hung up, pinning all her hopes on Patrick.-When Cordy opened her door in the afternoon, Jay was still standing outside along with the bodygu

Cordy didn’t chase Jay away after lunch, nor did he volunteer to leave.He stayed on the couch, watching the television while Cordy worked in her study.It was an amicable sight, though Jay had been yawning many times as he sat on the couch.He would never admit to himself that he had been losing sleep, even going sleepless on occasion.Still, he shouldn’t be this sleepy…Deciding that television might be too boring, he whipped out his phone to browse through videos and news articles, which were all obsessing over the Stuarts' charity ball tonight.Even as he browsed through everything, Jay's eyelid was drooping; he soon fell asleep with his phone still in his hand. Cordy stepped out of her study and watched as Jay lay on the couch, his breathing turning rhythmic.She had spiked his pasta with sleeping pills—she had some ready in her house, since she lost sleep on occasion too.Still, the pills worked faster than she had expected. She had been under the impression that it wou

Two men emerged from the black car ahead, stopping their car.The bodyguard in the backseat noticed, too. "I'll go take a look."He got out of the car, intent on making things quick and leaving.At the same time, Cordy’s palm was sweating as she put it on the door handle. She watched as the bodyguard alighted and walked several paces away, before opening the door and rushing out.The other bodyguard in the driver's seat noticed immediately and got out to try to stop her, only to watch her run into the black car that had been tailing them for a while. It sped away even as he tried to reach it; there was no way for him to chase the car down, especially since his car's way was blocked. Scowling, he had no choice but to dial a number to report. "I'm sorry, Mr. Levine, but Miss Sachs escaped."-Cordy's heart was racing even after she made it into Patrick’s car.She took a deep breath to calm herself. Patrick sat beside her with a faint smile.Cordy frowned as she turned towa

Many people were gathered outside the Stuarts' charity ball even before the main event; there were countless scores of journalists, fans, spectators, and security personnel.It was a grand sight that could beat any celebrity gala. Soon, a black Rolls Roys stopped at the edge of the red carpet. Inside, Patrick was watching Cordy, who sat beside him.He was with her as she got changed after they left the hospital, and she was breathtaking in that emerald gown—no man could resist staring.And yet, Patrick wasn’t any man—he showed focus, and remained respectfully distant with Cordy. "Shall we?" he asked.Cordy pursed her lips, a little emotional.She came, pulling every trick in her book in doing so, even though John did all he could to stop her.She had no idea how he would react when he saw her…but she was not obliged to care, either. "Okay," she said confidently, looking up at Patrick.A faint light shone over her black eyes; they dazzled like the stars, leaving Patrick mes

Patrick kept smiling faintly, giving an impression of politeness and refined elegance. "I feel like I'm really on the red carpet for the first time," he whispered into Cordy’s ear as he did. "And it's all thanks to you. I'm sure John wants me dead now.""Eyes on the road," Cordy snapped, though she was smiling too.Patrick's smile broadened, while journalists captured every moment of their interaction, bombarding them with questions as they approached. "Mr. Stuart! Why are you attending the charity ball with Miss Sachs? Is there a special connection here?""Mr. Stuart! Rumor has it that your grandfather, Monty Stuart, was taken ill. Will he be attending the ball?""Mr. Stuart! It was alleged that your family has a special surprise announcement in store for us, aside from the charity drive. Would you care to tell us what it is?""Miss Sachs! What's your relationship with Mr. Stuart? Are you attending this charity ball as Mr. Stuart's companion, or did the Stuarts extend a speci

Noel was attending the charity ball too, but as board chairwoman of Sachs Enterprises. Sachs Enterprises would never make the list of the Stuarts' grandest annual charity ball, and it was Jessica who had personally extended an invitation to Noel. Jessica said that since they were partners, she should give Noel more opportunities if it was within her abilities.Noel was beside herself with joy, and went out of her way to brag in front of her family. After all, she was no longer staying at the family's mansion, having bought herself another that was much grander than theirs.Still, Sue met her in private. She appeared to be happy for Noel, saying that she and Noel could finally hold their own in the Sachs family. She also added that Plum had been kept miserably in house arrest at the mansion by Simon himself. Despite all her fawning, it was clear Sue wanted to win Noel over and take a cut of the Sachs's family estate. However, Noel was no pushover. She grew up watching Sue, and kne

While every journalist swarmed towards John and Jessica, Patrick asked Cordy softly, "Are you alright? Can you walk?""I'm fine," Cordy said, pivoting her ankles a little—it hurt a little, but it wouldn’t affect her that much."Don't push yourself," Patrick told her."I'm not," Cordy replied, determined."Okay." Patrick shrugged, and said nothing else. Cordy straightened herself in turn, and put her hand around Patrick's arm again and entered the hall.Behind them, John and Jessica naturally saw them and the rather intimate exchange. "I'm surprised my cousin’s already so close with Cordy," Jessica said, seemingly nonchalant.John didn’t react at all, as if he didn’t care.Or perhaps he just didn’t want to show it in front of Jessica.Jessica controlled herself in turn—she was going to announce the date of their wedding tonight, anyway.Over the past month, her grandfather William Stuart had been determined to push the issue. John himself had stayed at Rocktown the entir

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
