A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 660
Zoe was beginning to lose hope.Was she going to stay the night here?!It was probably impossible for her to try to find her phone in such darkness.She might fall to her death before she made it to the rehearsal room.It was eerily silent in the darkness, and neither of them spoke a word.They could only hear the subtle sounds of each other's breathing."Where's your phone?" Jay suddenly spoke up after a long while.Zoe almost thought that Jay had vanished into thin air."It's in my bag in the rehearsal room," Zoe replied to his question."Are you going to take it?""I don't dare to. It's too dark and scary.""You kicked my walking stick away just now.""Oh. It's next to your right arm," Zoe said.Jay crouched down and groped around in the darkness.Zoe heard the sound of the walking stick against the floor and figured that Jay probably found it.She then sensed Jay standing up next to her.Was he planning to help her take her phone?!How kind-hearted of him.No, he

"No, thank you." Zoey rejected him politely.Jay did not ask her any further. See? He was being phony after all. The night stretched on, and Zoe did not even know what time it was.She pondered the terrible prospect of sitting here the entire night.Putting aside all else, she was worried she might catch a cold from the chilly night.If that happened, how would she be well enough to participate in the second round of the competition?!Zoe was feeling anxious inside, but she did not dare to express her fears.After all, there was no point in feeling anxious.Right now, both of their phones could not be used to call others for help.What's more, it was so dark around them. There was nothing she could do.Zoe sighed.She managed to compose herself after the surge of emotions.She rationalized with herself that having overcome things that were way more difficult to swallow, like acknowledging the wrong woman as her mother, such a small issue like being trapped in a buildin

He knew that Zoe was afraid of the dark, but because of his leg condition, he wasn't able to move fast.He held his phone loosely in his hand.When he heard movement in front of him, he hastened forward.Before he could reach the source of the sound, he felt someone push him down on the floor.His phone fell from his hand as he lost balance and collapsed on the ground.Before he could make any sound, Zoe yelled in pain next to him.He bore the pain shooting up his leg and grunted.That was when Zoe calmed down.He was unable to get up because of his right foot and his walking stick which fell a distance away from him.He asked Zoe for help to search for his phone.In the process, Zoe stepped on him a couple of times.He even suspected that Zoe did it on purpose.When he heard her walking further away, he thought he was finally safe from her stomping.Who knew that the next moment, he felt her falling right on his chest.The impact of her falling on him nearly killed him.

Zoe was stunned for a moment.She immediately kept her distance and said, "I'm sorry for waking you up."After they reunited, Zoe seemed to be always apologizing to him.It felt as if she greatly feared provoking him.Jay swallowed past his dry, parched throat.He was a light sleeper and did not sleep much during the night. Moreover, it was not easy to fall asleep with Zoe in his arms.He finally felt sleepy at daybreak.He released Zoe from his embrace and leaned her gently against the wall. He was afraid that if she suddenly woke up, she would be appalled at how intimately they were leaning against each other.He sat in another corner, leaning against the wall, and fell asleep."The sky's turning bright. The staff should be reporting to work soon," Zoe said as she stood up and stretched out her limbs.It was indeed uncomfortable sleeping on the floor the entire night."I'll take a look outside," Zoe said as she headed out."Zoe," Jay called out.Zoe stopped in her tracks

"Candice? How could that be possible? I just called her and she only just got out of bed," Wynn grumbled.Zoe could not bring herself to point out that Wynn did not even bother coming for rehearsals in the beginning.After all, she was enjoying breakfast that Wynn invited her to."I heard that Director Parker was the one who treated everyone to breakfast. He said he was worried that we would go hungry, reporting so early for rehearsals. He asked his assistant to deliver loads of food to every single rehearsal room!" Wynn explained as he gobbled a mouthful of food. "I didn't expect Director Jay to be so thoughtful."Zoe was not surprised.Having been with the Levines for so many years, Jay was adept at accommodating their needs. These skills that he honed over time helped him navigate and go far in high society."I say, have you heard from the staff members?""About what?""Director Parker was trapped in here last night.""Oh, I didn't hear about it." Zoe went on eating her bre

Zoe instinctively closed her eyes when Wynn blew hard at her eyes."Feel better?" Wynn asked, slightly anxious.Zoe blinked her eyes cautiously. She felt like the foreign object was gone.As the corners of her lips lifted in a bright smile, she suddenly looked in the direction of the door.Wynn followed the direction of Zoe's gaze and looked over as well.That was when both of them saw the director and judges standing at the door of the rehearsal room.Wynn and Zoe immediately widened the gap between them.There was nothing between them, but their sudden pulling apart made it look like they had a guilty conscience and prime for a misunderstanding to occur.The director joked, "Zoe and Wynn are getting along really well, aren't they?""We're just rehearsing the scene," Wynn explained in a hurry."Candice isn't here?" Jay changed the topic.He directed the question at Wynn and ignored Zoe.Zoe thought that Jay would have gone home to sleep after being trapped the entire night

"Don't set a trap for me to fall into, I'm just hypothesizing." Zoe would never say something that would put her at a disadvantage right now. "But I truly feel that Ms. Zimmerman is just focused on acting skills. It's completely acceptable for her to point out bad acting if she sees it.""Zoe York, you've really changed!" Wynn lamented as he shook his head.He had seen Zoe when she was an A-lister. She had been extremely proud and haughty back then.Yet, now…She was on the verge of having the title 'Bootlicker of the Entertainment Circle' bestowed upon her.-One week later, Cordy brought Richard to the capital.Before that, she called Zoe and Quinn out for another meal.Zoe kept yawning non-stop throughout the meal.It was clear that she was beyond exhausted."Are you that tired?" Quinn said, her heart aching for her friend. "If it's really too tough, just quit.""No way. This is my only chance at a comeback that finally came after so long." Zoe rejected Quinn's suggestion

After the meal, Cordy set off for the capital.She had never told Zoe and Quinn about her true identity. She felt that her relationship with them in the capital was not deep and she only went back to placate them. Zoe and Quinn did not need to know about her life in the capital.It was cold in the capital, but this time, Cordy went prepared with thicker and warmer clothes. Sean picked her and Richard from the airport.After they got into the car, he said "Don't even think about bringing Dicky to stay in a hotel. We've prepared a room for the two of you which we've furnished and cleaned at least three times.""Okay." Cordy did not think about going back on her word.She could not retract her words once she said it even though she detested the idea deep down in her heart.Sean did not pay further attention to Cordy. Instead, he looked at Richard through the rear view mirror and asked, "Dicky, have you thought of where you'd like me to bring you to play in your visit to the capita

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
