A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 589
Although Cordy picked a thicker set of clothes, she still felt a little cold after putting them on.After musing on it for a while, she decided to go shopping for some thicker clothing with Sean.Just as she stepped out of her hotel room and entered the elevator, she saw a familiar figure inside, and was left lamenting that she had to run Lucas everywhere she went.Lucas was scowling when he saw her too, and muttered sarcastically under his breath, "You really know your timing."Cordy ignored him—there was nothing to say to despicable men like him.The elevator descended, stopping halfway as many guests swarmed inside, seemingly from a tour group of elderly women. Cordy was squeezed further inside the elevator, and one of the elderly women knocked into her.Cordy lost her balance, and fell squarely over Lucas.She didn’t need imagination to expect more sarcasm from the man, and even steeled herself for it…but it never came.She frowned, and straightened herself away from him

The elderly woman was still fuming. After moving away, she growled, "Youngsters these days… They leave their manners at home!"Not one to back down, Lucas retorted, "So you didn't turn senile with age. You're just rotten in the first place."Cordy watched as that elderly woman grew livid, and felt glad for a second—women of this type tend to throw the weight of their seniority around to disrespect everyone.Soon, the elevator reached the lobby, and the elderly woman left with the others in a huff.Cordy shifted, and Lucas quickly released her as if he touched something filthy. He didn’t forget to mock her. "Don't give yourself too much credit. You'd be pushed towards me if that woman kept pushing you—that's why I snapped at her. Also, I despise physical contact the most.""I never did," Cordy replied as she strode out of the elevator. She wanted to thank him, but then thought that it was unnecessary. She strode straight towards the hotel entrance, and caught a chilling breeze

Cordy had no idea how many times they ran into each other by chance since yesterday.And judging from the look in Lucas’s eyes, she knew that he must be thinking that she was following him.She promptly put a hand around Sean’s arm, who appeared surprised by her action.Cordy had never taken the initiative in the years since he met her. The sudden gesture made him smile, and the smile turned gloating as he turned to see Lucas. At the same time, Cordy scowled a little—Lucas had never been nice to her, and he was even prejudiced against her just because she allowed her eyes to linger on him a little yesterday at Maron's backstage lounge.Still, leaving a good impression was unnecessary when it came to strangers. So, she simply kept her hands around Sean and strode past Lucas.A shop assistant promptly received them, but Cordy didn’t have any style in mind since she just needed something warm. Thus, she told the shop assistant to pick a clothing article for her at random.The sh

Sean continued, "He really resembles John, and even carries his bearing. Are you really—""No, he doesn't," Cordy snapped, cutting him short. "You'd know that he and John have nothing in common if you had the displeasure of his acquaintance."Sean smiled faintly, actually surprised that the day would come when someone could push Cordy buttons to this extent.Nonetheless, they returned to his car; Sean took her straight to Cranston House.Cordy inhaled sharply. "Nervous?" Sean asked."No, just not used to it," she replied."Just come back more often, and you'd get used to it.""Don't bother talking me into it," Cordy said bluntly. "My mom left all those years ago, and that makes it very clear that this place isn't all that nice."Sean actually had nothing to say about that. His family was really nothing to brag about. Otherwise, his aunt—that is, Cordy's mother—wouldn’t have cut all ties with Sean's grandfather just to run away from home.As they strode into the front hall, t

The Cranstons all sat down together and enjoyed a calm, peaceful chat before having a meal together.Cordy's coat was much thicker now, but she still felt very cold and lethargic, which was why she kept yawning."Didn't sleep well last night?" Jesse asked in concern. "I've been saying that the hotel is bad, and you should stay here with us.""I worked a little late last night, so I didn't sleep at the usual hour," Cordy lied."Work never ends. Don't work yourself sick," Jesse told her."Yes, I’ll be careful.""Do you want to sleep in your room? I've had the servants prepare it for you, so you could stay here whenever you come back.""It's alright. I've agreed to have a business discussion with Maron later, so I’ll be leaving soon," Cordy excused herself.She actually didn’t like being in the company of such a big family, even if everyone was friendly. Naturally, that friendliness might be surface-level—or perhaps because she posed no threat to them. It didn’t hurt to be nice

When they arrived outside Platinum Club, Cordy alighted. Sean told her. "Call me anytime you need me. I'd be on standby 24/7 as long as you're in the capital.""Why are you being this nice?" Cordy blurted, unable to help herself. Most of the time, she could accept things as they were—or to put it bluntly, she didn’t regard it with that much importance. In other words, she was fine with however Sean would treat her.And yet, her curiosity suddenly got the better of her.Sean was in turn silent for a couple seconds before replying nonchalantly, "It's my first impression of you, I guess. You looked likeable when I first laid eyes on you."Cordy was speechless, but she would give a perfect score to that answer which answered nothing.The Cranstons were certainly as sly as foxes."Drive safe," she told him politely.Sean smiled, and drove away.He was being honest, but Cordy was obviously skeptical. However, his Aunt Evelyn might have played a huge role in that impression too.

Cordy was suddenly very angry.Strangely enough, she couldn’t control her own temper when it came to Lucas."Why did you buy it?" she demanded.Lucas smirked as he looked up at her. "You're such a funny person. I have my own freedom in deciding the clothes I would like to buy—or maybe you're suggesting I should ask for your opinion first?'"You knew I bought the same design.""That's your business. What does that have to do with me?" Lucas’s smirk widened. "I liked it, so I bought it. As for your opinion, Miss Sachs, I'm sorry, but we're not that close that your feelings are within my consideration."Cordy bit her lip, livid.However, she had no comeback against Lucas' words.And did he really grow up abroad? Why was his Zidonian so fluent?!"That just means you both share the same standards," Maron said, quickly trying to calm things down. "You two really are frontliners in fashion—I agree that the design of that coat is good, and I was just talking to Lucas about it."Cordy

It was a hotel staff member, who brought Cordy her medicine. "Miss Sachs, if your symptoms aren't easing even after taking the medicine, you may call our front desk. We’ll provide transport to take you to the hospital.""Okay, thank you." "You're welcome."Cordy closed the door. She never had the habit of going to the hospital, and would usually recover from minor colds with just some medicine.She boiled some water and took her medicine before getting in bed again.She shivered as she curled into a ball under her blanket. She already had layers of those, and she was almost suffocating from the pressure.She finally touched her forehead—why was this one so awful? How bad was her fever?It had been two hours since she took the medicine, but she wasn’t sweating at all; her body temperature wasn’t decreasing either.What was more, it hurt like hell.Cordy eventually gave in—it was the first time she needed the hospital for a cold. Picking up the phone, she called the front d

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
