A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 428
The elevation of the slope made it difficult to traverse and even more so for John, who had to carry Cordy.However, she was really spent and could not even open her eyes as she leaned in his arms.She vaguely heard cars screeching to a stop and the whirring rotors of a helicopter…Patrick's people had probably arrived.What perfect timing—not a moment too soon and not a moment too late.With that, Cordy finally dozed off. -When she woke up again, she found herself in a place she did not recognize.It was not the hospital, her apartment in North City, or John's apartment.She blinked, her eyelids still feeling very heavy just like her head.She felt like she had slept for a long while to the point that she could not wake up."You're awake." John's deep voice spoke beside her just then, quietly and tenderly.Cordy turned toward that familiar face of his and saw that his fair, handsome cheeks were covered in cuts and bruises of every size. Blinking, she asked, "Where am I

In the end, Cordy had to ask him.John had been unbelievably nice, and that left her suspecting if she was somehow crippled.Nonetheless, John chuckled so she could feel panic too.Cordy had to avert her eyes in turn—somehow, that man's smile was simply beautiful, even if it was filled with cuts and bruises. "Don't worry, you're not missing any limbs, though there's a minor fracture on your right foot," John answered seriously then. "There are also plenty of cuts and bruises all over your body, and you lost quite a lot of blood. The doctor assured me that you'll soon make a full recovery, regardless.""What about you?" Cordy asked, staring at him just then.Sure, she was fine, but what about him? Was he hurt? Even if he was not in the car when it crashed, he was definitely hurt when he rescued them.She noticed that both his hands were bandaged, but he still took care of her, even helping her drink."I'm fine," he said flatly.Cordy gulped.There was so much she wanted to

Cordy also never saw the so-called doctor John spoke of."Would you rather have Dicky keep you company?" John asked. "The doctor said that you should stay in bed and rest for up to five days given your condition, and it'd be two weeks before you can move around freely. To be precise, two weeks is how long it would take for you to recover your physical abilities, but that fractured leg would need at least three months to heal.""No." She rejected John just then—she would not want Richard to be sad seeing her in this miserable state. "Alright." John respected her decision.But with that, silence ensued between them until Cordy suddenly said, "I need the washroom.""I'll carry you," John said, and scooped her up in his arms before she could say another word…That was when he realized that the IV drip was still attached to her wrist.Staring at it for a moment, he put her back in bed. "It's a nutrient drip, so you won't need it after you eat. I'm going to pull it out of you, so bea

Cordy stared at John, speechless.He remained calm and collected as he added, "I've been taking care of you over the last few days."So?"I've wiped your face, your body, and changed your diapers…"As John went into detail about how he had been helping her over the last few days, she finally had enough. "Could you please stop?""Okay." John grinned.There's that bewitching smile again."So? Do you still want to take a shower?" John asked."Nope," Cordy refused—ignorance was bliss, but knowledge certainly changed everything."Where are we, specifically?" she then asked, just to distract herself from her urge to shower."My private residence in Rocktown," John replied. "We're two hours away from Stuart Hall. Aside from myself, there are two servants, five bodyguards, and one doctor.""Has Jessica been here?" Cordy asked. She would not take offense, since anything could happen between John and Jessica after how far their relationship had progressed. What she cared about, ho

Cordy nodded, agreeing with John's take.He was still watching her and solemnly giving her his analysis. "In summary, William has two key individuals he needs to deal with before his rise to power: Patrick and myself. However, he has labeled Patrick as a hostile that needs to be eliminated, while using every method at his disposal to attempt luring me to his cause. And for them, the only issue with that is you, which is why there's no doubt that they would come after you."Cordy blinked but did not respond.John then continued. "When you showed up at that charity ball with Patrick, it meant that they could make one move while gaining twice the rewards. They were never going to let that chance slip.""In reality, I'm not that formidable that I can fully read their mind, and everything I've mentioned is my supposition along with some after-action observation. I'm not clairvoyant—I can't protect you even before something happens, and it's not until the last moment that I realized the

Cordy suddenly asked, "How's Patrick?"There were many things she did not understand, so she was not going to rack her brains for nothing.The only thing she knew for a fact was that right now, she and Patrick were on the same side."He's not dead," John replied without further elaboration."Could I borrow your phone to give him a call?" she asked him politely then.John did not agree to it—it was clear that he was still hostile toward the man.That only begged the question further: what on earth was the relationship and standpoint between her and him?!Cordy did not get pushy, however, and calmly said, "Fine. I'm just going to lie down here.""You knew about his… taste?" John suddenly asked."Yeah," Cordy said, not bothered to hide it.In fact, Patrick had given her compromising photos of himself with other men back when he first visited her in her office.That was why she trusted him more than most and even had absolute faith in him. The ensuing controversy those photos co

Cordy snorted. "Let's get down to business.""Alright," Patrick replied cheerfully, and his tone quickly changed. "After we managed to escape by chance the other night, William's side of the family must be fuming—especially Jessica. She must be losing it too, knowing that you are now with John. That's why you'd better watch out. I'm really worried she'll do something drastic.""What, wasn't that night drastic enough?" Cordy scoffed."Their whole family was in on it. In this case, Jessica would be doing it on her own volition, and it's going to be something insane.""Yeah," Cordy replied, having anticipated that.After all, John had left Jessica alone at the charity ball, went straight to Cordy's rescue, and stayed with Cordy ever since.It was far more than what any woman could take."Also, my grandfather is making his move against William following that night," Patrick added bluntly. "William burned his bridges when he tried to hurt us, and I apologize that you almost lost your

The sudden change in subject left Cordy taken aback."What, you don't want to leave?" Patrick teased her."I mean, I would like to, but I'd rather not trouble you," Cordy said bluntly. "I can't even get out of bed right now.""I'm just kidding," Patrick said. "I won't be able to take you with me even if I came, not to mention that I have no idea where you are. I'm sure John would do all he can to hide you from me, but that's the point—he's keeping you very well hidden, so be at ease and take your time to rest for a while at his place."Cordy could not quite describe how she felt after hearing what Patrick said.That was when another call came in, and she said, "I'm hanging up. Jessica is calling John's phone.""Ask the man to buy you a phone, okay? Just stick to your old number so that we can keep in touch," Patrick did not forget to tell her."I know."Once she hung up, she called out at the direction of the door, "John!"John opened the door and entered, having been waiting

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
