A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 628
Winston mustered his courage then and said, "Sir, Ms. Sachs really missed you. Please come back soon, once you've done what you need to do."Lucas was in turn speechless.He was never going to make Winston understand that he was not his employer, was he? -Cordy woke up to realize it was already noon.She actually checked three times to see that it really was noon.And she was not in her bed either, but she was where Lucas was sleeping last night instead!What was she doing here?! She had no recollection at all!And if she was sleeping here, where was Lucas sleeping?!She quickly checked her clothes to find her pajamas neatly clinging to her body and that she was straddling a pillow.Lucas' scent seemed to linger on that pillow.No. To be precise, it was John's—it was by sheer coincidence that they almost shared the same scent.So, she was sleeping with him last night? But how did she even get here?! Cordy simply had no idea, but she hurried out of bed to her own room an

Richard continued, "Mommy, I think Daddy might be—"Cordy cut him short right then. "Dicky, I know you miss him. But the dead never return, and I'll always be here to take care of you.She did not want him to hold onto false hopes because it was simply impossible.And that applied to herself as well.Richard bit his lip and tried to explain, but sensing that his mommy would not believe him, he decided to investigate the matter on his own.When the truth was out, she would know that he did not make a mistake."I'll be going out for the afternoon. Be a good boy and stay home, okay?""Okay."With that, Cordy left to look for Jim, her psychiatrist.She was intent on telling him about the situation, so that he would break it down for her and maybe help her with her insomnia. Jim smiled after hearing her story. "Cordy, I think you might have fallen for this gentleman!""Impossible!" Cordy snapped bluntly. "I'll never fall for him—I just found a sense of security because he smells

Cordy nodded. "Yeah."Probably.As long as she could smell John's 'scent', her heart would find security.Then, all thoughts would be drained out of her mind, and she would unwittingly fall asleep."You could try retaining his scent," Jim suggested."What do you mean?" Cordy asked."A person's scent doesn't fade that easily. It might linger on clothes he wore or on the bedsheets and blankets he slept on. If you're sure of a relationship between you and him, I suggest you use his lingering scent to ease your insomnia.""Lingering scent…?" Cordy murmured.The more she thought about it, the more freakish it looked… as if she was becoming a deviant!Jim could read her thoughts, however, and said solemnly, "Dignity is no concern when your health hangs in the balance. Even if men and women should observe propriety and keep their distance, don't male doctors see ladies in their birthday suits during surgery?"Cordy could not help being impressed—psychiatrists really hit the nail on

Lucas snapped right then, "What the devil has gotten into you?!"Cordy rolled her eyes. "I'm perfectly fine, thanks for asking.""If that's true, why are you asking me to come to your place? Don't tell me you've fallen for me now! Does that mean you climbed into my bed on purpose last night?!"Cordy knew it—asking Lucas for help was just asking for it.However, like Jim said, dignity was inconsequential when it came to her health.As such, she gritted her teeth and went for it. "You don't have to pay me back—just stay with me for one night.""Are you crazy?! Are you trying to jump me?! What do you take me for, a gigolo?!""Who's trying to jump you?!" Cordy felt like she could die. "Also, I'd be the one losing out if I slept with you! I'm even paying you for it!""Really?! And what would you lose?! You already have a child, while I…"Lucas' voice suddenly trailed off for a moment, but he soon snapped, "Anyway, I'm the one losing out here! And I'm telling you, Cordy Sachs—you're

Richard pouted. Lucas was so bad-tempered that it was no surprise his mommy did not want to believe that he was really Daddy.However, he was overjoyed that his daddy had returned—after all, he had thought about so many ways to prove that Lucas was his daddy. In the end, the most effective and direct method was a paternity test.They just need to prove that they were father and son, and that would make evident Lucas was his daddy.He had been depressed as he wondered how he could get Lucas' hair, but here he was.-As Lucas put his luggage in the room he stayed last night, he noticed that the bedsheets had really been changed…What was he thinking?! Even if Cordy really had a condition, what did it have to do with him?!He just did not want to owe her anything! Soon, it was evening, and Winston arrived to get him for dinner.As Lucas got out of bed, his back was sore since he had been lying around since the afternoon.When he was about to leave, he saw Winston preparin

The dining table turned quiet.It was obvious that Cordy had raised Richard well, as the boy observed all dining etiquette.Naturally, Lucas was no slouch himself.Still, he was surprised that the food here suited his palate to such an extent.Was this really a coincidence? Most of the food here was really his favorite! However, it was possible that Cordy went out of her way to find out about his preferences, and she just had to ask Maron to know anything she wanted.After dinner, Lucas did not tarry and returned to his room right away, wrapping his blanket in loops around himself.His scent would linger sufficiently like this, no?!And yet, unbelievably—despite the deed itself being absolutely revolting, he was responding to it.He promptly averted his eyes and whipped out his phone, intent on killing time.That was when he heard a knock on his door, and a little head soon poked inside. "Are you asleep, Lucas?"Lucas stared at the boy in turn. "What is it?""I was worried

Richard retorted, "What, are you afraid?""Don't bother provoking me." Lucas snorted. "That won't work.""Alright, then I'll pull it out myself," Richard said and started to reach for Lucas' head."Wait." Seeing that, Lucas clenched his teeth and pulled out a strand of his hair. "Take it and go."Richard smiled smugly in turn and happily left the room with the strand of hair.However, he was in such a good mood that he started running and crashed into Winston as he reached the walkway.He was so fast he almost knocked Winston down as he slammed into him but reacted quickly to catch him. "Are you alright, Winston?!""I'm fine, I'm fine," Winston said, his heart racing. "Are you alright, sir?""I'm fine… Wait, where's my hair?!" Richard suddenly cried out in panic. "What hair?" Winston asked worriedly.Nonetheless, Richard promptly dropped to a crouch to start looking. Since he had used both hands to catch Winston just now, he had no idea where he dropped the hair! "It's v

Cordy was left infuriated even as Lucas violently dragged her to his room. "Are you crazy, Lucas?!"What was he doing in the middle of the night?!Did he not hate her getting close to him?!"You're the crazy one!" Lucas growled viciously. "You stood me up after I warmed the bed for you! You know, I really should…"Cordy glared at him.What could he do to her, when she knew all too well that he was not interested in her body?!"Should, what?!" Cordy challenged him."I…" Lucas once again trailed off, unable to say anything for a long while."What can you do to me—ah!"Cordy yelped as her whole body was pinned against the wall, his towering form restraining her dainty figure in place and denying her any chance of escape.Under the dim lights, she saw the fury in his eyes as if he could eat her.She was really confused—how did she upset him?!"You're really not afraid of me, are you?" Lucas growled through his teeth, his face contorted with rage.Cordy had the feeling he was j

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
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1511
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
