It was midnight, and there were still no signs of Jay. Zoe didn't bother waiting for him any longer.In fact, his non-appearance spoke for itself.Despite that, she still sent a message to him to ask, [Are you coming back?]There was no reply to it.The following morning, Zoe called Clara. After moving into the house Bob had given them, Clara no longer resided there but went on to work. Perhaps she knew that Zoe didn't like seeing her and left.The two had not kept in touch after she left either.Zoe hadn't wanted to get too involved with Clara, and Clara was probably too embarrassed to meet her.This was the first time Zoe had initiated a phone call to Clara. She could hear the tremble in Clara's voice as she answered, "...Zoe?"The uncertainty in Clara's voice was as clear as day."Yeah. I'm just letting you know that I'm leaving North City," Zoe said calmly.Zoe didn't know exactly why she was letting Clara know about her decision. Maybe because she was the only family Zoe

In the middle of the quiet meal, John's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller, and his expression twisted slightly."It's Grandpa."Cordy's eyes twitched slightly, but she continued looking down and eating her breakfast. John would take it outside and away from her hearing range if it were a private call.After all, that's what happened every time Jessica called."What is it?"After a moment, a hint of panic flashed across John's face. Cordy wondered what had happened that could cause John's mood to change so drastically. She could see his hand holding the phone had also started to shake.His eyes also seemed to have reddened."Okay. I got it."John put his phone down and sat silently for a long time, his eyes staring at nothing in particular."What happened?" Cordy finally asked.What had overwhelmed John to this state?"Jay, he... there's been an accident," John said, clearly trying his best to control the emotions in his voice.Cordy felt her heart get stuck in

A day had passed, but there was still no coverage of Jay’s accident in the news.Curious, Cordy couldn’t resist texting John. [How’s Jay doing?]There were no replies for several minutes, until Jessica called her on Whatsapp.They never traded contact information, so Cordy hesitated before answering. "Cordy, John’s busy and couldn't reply to your text. He told me to call you," Jessica said, sounding rather tired.So Jessica went home with John and even spent the night with him?"How is Jay doing?" Cordy asked calmly, since Jay's condition mattered to her more."He's been in a coma since he left surgery," Jessica replied. "The doctors are saying that he might stay a vegetable, but there's hope. John brought in a team of experts from abroad who just went to examine Jay. He’s staying with them to discuss Jay's treatment in more detail.""Is the situation that bad?" Cordy asked worriedly."Yeah," Jessica admitted. "His heart stopped twice during surgery, but they managed to sav

So when the Levines all traveled abroad, John left Dicky in Jessica’s care? Without asking Cordy's permission, or whether Dicky wanted to stay with Jessica?Still, Cordy clenched her teeth and accepted reality. She was reluctant to bother John given present circumstances. His texts over the next few days were scarce since there was nothing to say, what with Jay not recovering anytime soon.However, Jessica was still constantly sharing updates of her time with Dicky even though it was definitely a mess, be it eating or bathing Dicky, leaving his little face covered in bubbles.She also brought Dicky outdoors to hiking and amusement parks, where they would play with all sorts of exciting rides.Cordy stayed silent, watching as Jessica expressed her motherly nature.That was, until she sent a photo of Dicky hurting his leg.In the photo, the boy was keeping his head lowered and staring at his leg, covered in white bandages, his expression impassive.Jessica's caption was: [I'm so

"Just calm down for now," John said, trying to assure Cordy. "Jessica won't do anything to Dicky.""You trust her so much, huh?!" Cordy shot back, angry."Not at the moment, no," John said, his every word determined. "She let Dicky get hurt!""Children get themselves hurt all the time. It's normal."Cordy's fingers clenched on his phone, her rage hardly repressible."Don't go anywhere without me around," John said calmly. "Jessica won’t hurt Dicky, but she will hurt you."Cordy hung up right there and then—she never could calm down when Dicky was concerned. Even so, she had no way to fight back against John.-John returned in two days, just as he had promised. Cordy was a light sleeper. She heard the noise outside, but didn’t get out of bed. In fact, she simply tossed around and kept sleeping despite hearing the door being sneakily opened.She pretended to stay asleep, reluctant to entertain the intruder.That was when she felt a weight pressing on the bed beside her,

Cordy had to admit, she had fallen straight into Jessica’s trap.Despite that, she wouldn’t dismiss the fact that Jessica was definitely using Dicky to threaten her.Turning around in bed towards Dicky, Cordy watched his little face, sound asleep amidst the dim light.It was a habit she had every time she was sleeping with Dicky—turning on a soft light so that she could see him in the darkness and tuck him in.Only a real mother would feel that indescribable bliss when you see a child sleeping peacefully beside her. Cordy couldn’t help caressing his little cheeks once more. She vowed to herself that she would protect her boy, no matter the cost!-Cordy had gotten used to waking past ten o’clock these days, and that was the case the next morning. Dicky was still asleep since he may have slept too late last night, though he was adorable as ever.Cordy didn’t wake him and carefully got out of bed, limping on her crutch to the washroom to wash up before leaving her bedroom and

John sat down on the couch in his room.As it turned out, he already got his first-aid kit out.Cordy wondered if he would’ve done it himself if she never came in.However, she was the reason he got injured, which was why she ultimately didn’t refuse.She took out iodine and a tube of anti-inflammatory cream, dropping to a crouch to apply everything on the injured area—which definitely was infected."You should be more careful," she told him."It's not a spot you can always keep your eye on," John replied feebly.Cordy didn’t argue, and went to work solemnly to disinfect the affected area."Ugh!" John suddenly grunted."Does it hurt?" Cordy asked."Nope," John said stubbornly—but it certainly did, because it was his inner thigh.Cordy didn’t say anything, but she did ease the pressure. The room was silent, but Cordy was working too seriously to notice anything else. After she disinfected the wound, applied the cream and bandaged it, she looked up to see the strange gaze

Cordy looked up to see that John was panting a little, and that he was flushing somewhat.Pursing her lips, she lowered her gaze and washed her hands, pretending as if she saw nothing while John left.However, she was quite distracted as she washed her fingers, as many images crossed her mind…Still, she soon turned off the tap, dried her hands, and left the washroom. John wasn’t in, and she vaguely saw a silhouette in the walk-in closet. Cordy headed over, entering it unhurriedly to find John changing.He was wearing yet another pair of black boxers, almost the same size as the one he just threw away.He spotted Cordy from the full-length mirror in front of him, a brief look of surprise flashing in his eyes before he soon said, "I'll come out once I'm done changing." "Can you get dressed without problems?" Cordy asked."Yeah.""Won't you be touching your scars?""I'll watch out… Eh?" John suddenly murmured, and gulped unwittingly as he felt Cordy's warm, dainty hands on

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
