A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 643
Cordy's heart was filled with yet another sense of bitterness. She touched Richard's head slightly and made a promise. "I'll take good care of you." "Mommy, I'll take good care of you too." Richard smiled sweetly. After that, they seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and they never mentioned Lucas. Half a month passed by, and Sean called and asked her when she was going to the capital. She had promised his grandfather the other day that she would stay in the capital for a while that month. As expected, she could not make promises casually. Though she did not feel like going, one should not break their promise. Besides, Richard was on winter break now, and Sean had even specially asked her to bring Richard along. Hence, Cordy could only agree to it. Luckily, Richard had a winter camp these few days and he would be back a week later, so she could delay their trip there until next week. She went to negotiate some business at North City TV. They were the ones w

In a public makeup room backstage of the shooting room of Actors on Set, the makeup artists chatted with each other as they worked. "Hey, did you guys see him? Mr. Parker, the great director, is here. I didn't believe it when they announced that he would join this show. After all, I've never seen him join any variety show. So, our TV station is quite awesome." "Yes, I saw him. I walked past from behind him just now. He's so handsome and tall. He'll be very outstanding among the stars. It's a pity that he became a director." "It's not a pity at all. We won't see so many good films if he's not a director. Not only are his movies and dramas good, but the female stars in his shows are very beautiful too. The people in the field claim that there won't be any ugly women in his shows. He's indeed a lucky star for female celebrities." "That's right. I saw an actress before, who is a famous star now. She generally looks ordinary, but the audience soon saw how beautiful she was in Mr. Park

"I rested for a bit." Zoe did not say much about that. She also did not want to talk about her past experiences People in the entertainment circle were no fools. All her jobs were canceled and her work was removed. She was even banned. So, she must have offended someone powerful in the entertainment circle. Claire did not ask any more about that before she changed the topic and said, "Alas, this is the first time I've been so nervous in ten years of filming. Zoe, are you nervous?" Zoe nodded and answered honestly, "I made a few mistakes yesterday, and I couldn't fall asleep last night." "Me too. I made a lot of mistakes during the rehearsal yesterday. I'm afraid the same thing will happen today." Claire echoed what Zoe had said. "The rules of this competition stipulate that the judges will be the ones who will pick candidates in the first round. After the primary election, they'll then start the competition. It's where the audience will vote. I'm afraid that I can't even pass

She felt that she seemed to be worse than others at the moment. As expected, people would have self-denial when they lacked confidence. It was Cora's performance before Zoe's turn, and she made the scene quite exciting by singing and dancing. Cora had indeed improved a lot on stage during these years. Zoe watched TV too, and she always watched Cora's films on TV. Cora's acting was childish at the beginning but it had become mature now. She could now handle the stage skillfully and easily, and one could not deny her excellence. Zoe even thought of the possibility that her appearance in the next moment would ruin the excitement Cora had built up at the scene. The staff then reminded Zoe to get ready, so she got up from her seat in the waiting area, where the surrounding few people even encouraged her. They were not stupid. They knew that Zoe had offended someone, so she was banned. Thus, they would not easily be friendly with her now given that they were unaware of her curr

"Hmm," Jay answered. "What a pity! I thought so highly of her that year," Hailey added. Zoe was an experienced senior, and she was also considered an artist in performance. For her, her fame and honor in the entertainment industry were no longer important now. She sincerely hoped to see new power rise to support the entertainment industry instead of those famous young stars who had no acting skills at all. Jay then ignored her. His eyes were glued on Zoe, and he could not avert his gaze at all until Zoe's performance ended. She bowed to the audience and judges before she turned around to leave the stage. "Please stay, Zoe." The host suddenly went up the stage from backstage and stopped her. That session was not included in the previous rehearsal. The actresses who needed to answer questions were informed beforehand. She was sure that she did not receive such a notice. However, she still paused and faced the host, judges, and audience. "Everyone is very surprised to

"No." Zoe denied it and tried her best to joke. "Well, I'm still a lucky single lady." "If that's the case, I think there's something worth expecting in your acting skills." "Thank you, sir." Zoe bowed and thanked him. "I also felt a lot of things when I saw Zoe's performance just now," Harry chimed in. "Zoe, do you remember we once collaborated?" "Of course I do." Smiling, Zoe admitted to it. They debuted at the same time, but she got famous faster than him. However, times had changed. He was now a judge while she became a candidate. "I heard Ms. Zimmerman and Mr. Moore's comments on your acting skills and I feel that they made the right comment. So, I won't say much. I just hope that you can continue on your journey at this stage. I'm rooting for you." Harry cheered her up. "Thank you, Mr. Campbell." Zoe made a polite bow again. When she got up, she looked at Jay. Since all the judges had commented on her acting, Jay could not act differently. She looked over

Smiling faintly, Zoe did not reply. She knew very well that everyone here was her competitor. If one performed badly, one would become more popular. She had now started to plan her upcoming arrangement. After the performance of the first show, all actresses were invited to the stage for the first round of voting. A few people were chosen behind closed doors. Undeniably, there would be unfair deals in all shows, though most people were still fair. Only fifteen people would remain out of the thirty people. Zoe stood in a corner at the back. She had no expectations whatever. The competition rules of the first round of elimination were very simple and direct. Some judges discussed and made choices. The ones whose names were called could stay while the others were asked to leave. Zoe heard others' names one after another. It was now the last name. The host paused for a while. At that time, Zoe had turned to look in the direction in which she should leave. She was

Jay looked at the hand before him. Was it because of her makeup? Her hand seemed slightly rougher. Zoe's hand stiffened in the air awkwardly because Jay did not respond for a long time. She thought that he would pretend in public. After all, he shook hands with every actress before her. Unexpectedly, he still resisted her so much. Smiling, she retrieved her hand in a seemingly very composed manner. She then walked past him to Harry. She was again meek and humble. She did not notice that Jay had stretched his hand out after she left. He then slowly retrieved his hand. After the actresses greeted the judges, they returned backstage. Zoe sat in the public makeup room to remove her makeup, where Claire was doing the same too. She had advanced to the next level and was one of the first few ones to do so. Although the host explained that the name list of the actresses who had advanced to the next level had no placing, they were arranged according to placing. Zoe was

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
