A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 678
Lucas frowned, feeling a sharp sting ever so slightly.He looked up at Dicky, and saw the boy blushing. Dicky quickly got out of his seat with the excuse that he was full.Cordy noted her son's odd behavior. Since she wasn't watching when Dicky touched Lucas's head, she didn’t know what exactly he did.She watched as he suddenly left, thinking that he probably got embarrassed—he never acted like that before.Still, they were fortunate that they weren’t seated at the main table, where the elders were. Rules weren’t that strictly enforced on the other tables.On the other hand, Nana watched as Dicky left. She turned to ask Lucas softly, "You really like Dicky, don't you?""Why'd you say that?" Lucas asked in return, putting a shrimp on her plate.He had been doting on her like that since the food arrived. The others on the table had teased her a few times, leaving her blushing."Well, you're really nice to him," Nana said."Aren't I nice to you?""That's different!" Nana shook

Cordy went upstairs again after getting another slice of cake. Just as she reached the second floor, however, a ruckus took place downstairs.Cordy hurried downstairs, presuming that the Lynds were leaving and that she should see them off as well as a gesture of respect. At least, until she heard, "Help! Somebody! Nana's in trouble!"Cordy's heart skipped a beat—what happened to Nana?In that instant, she quickly strode downstairs. Just as she did so, Lucas entered from the living room, shoving his way through the crowd and cradling Nana's breathless frame in her arms.Her cheeks were flushed and her breathing rushed—she looked like she could catch something terrible and die at an instant!Cordy wondered if there really was something wrong with Nana's health, since even Jesse had been especially concerned about it; as was Lucas. She appeared very concerned, completely oblivious that she had something to do with Nana's sudden condition.Lucas cried, "Get an ambulance right now!"

In turn, Cordy’s fury rose and she shot back, "How should I know?!"Cordy knew she shouldn’t be throwing a fit when Nana was this weak, but Nana kept eating the cake despite knowing her own allergy. That was Nana's own fault!"Who told you to give it to her without asking? She's physically different, get it?!" Lucas kept yelling at her regardless, albeit over a different reason."I didn't give it to her. She asked for it!" Cordy lost her cool for some reason, though she certainly didn’t want to take it lying down when she was unjustly framed. "She asked for it? When she knows that her allergy could stop her heart?!" Lucas kept screaming, uncaring for her words. "Do you know about her congenital heart defect? That her allergy could trigger it? Are you saying that she wanted to die when she asked for that cake?!"Cordy bit her lip, confused why Nana would play around when her own life was at stake.Was Nana that eager to fill her belly? Even if it meant dying?!Lucas was still de

Cordy bit her lip, having no response to her grandfather's begrudging accusation of her.It turned out that Jesse knew all along—he simply left it unsaid. "Don't let it get to you. I know you, and if I hadn't…" Jesse's words trailed off as he sighed, and quickly changed the subject. "The Lynds were feeling hot-headed tonight. That's why I didn't defend you—saying too much would upset them, and in turn, they’d be even angrier with you. Let's wait until Nana recovers. I’ll find a chance to clear the air with my sister.""Thank you, Grandfather.""You must be tired too. Get some rest.""You too." With that, Cordy left Jesse's room.She could feel his care and love for her, but in reality, she had a hard time accepting such an unfamiliar family.-Dicky was waiting for her in her room. Cordy asked him calmly, "Aren't you going back to your room to sleep?""Aren't you upset? Lucas yelled at you," Dicky asked her very bluntly. "I am, but it's understandable," she replied.Sh

Cordy assured Dicky. "Don't worry. You'll definitely grow very tall.""Yeah!" Dicky nodded. "I'll definitely become taller than Lucas.” Cordy was left speechless, since that might be unnecessary. What if he got taller than six feet? That would make getting a girlfriend harder.Nonetheless, her feigned composure crumbled after Dicky left. It had been an unpleasant day, after all.-Early next morning, someone knocked on Cordy's door.She opened it to find Sean standing at the doorway, looking a little tired.Had he just returned from the hospital? What about Nana?"Sorry to wake you this early," he apologized, unaware that he was insomniac.Come to think of it, Cordy had been forgetting to buy herself sleeping pills since she came to Cranson Hall. She basically hadn’t slept for days; technically, Sean wasn’t waking her up. "How's Nana?" she asked bluntly."She's fine. She's not in any immediate danger," Sean said, and breathed a sigh of relief."It's that serious? What

"I'm coming with you," Sean said, asserting his stance.Though he wanted Cordy to go, he would never allow her to suffer any grief.Still, Cordy told him, "It's okay. You've been on your feet the whole night. You should get some proper rest for the day.""No, I'm perfectly fine. Let's go."Cordy hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn’t turn him down.Sean only wanted to resolve the matter as soon as he could. As the eldest of his generation, he was obliged to help his father and grandfather in handling various family issues, and he certainly took that responsibility seriously. Moreover, he wanted Cordy to understand that he would always be at her side, protecting her no matter what.However, Cordy was unsure why he was so nice to her.Sure, she was as rich as she was famous. However, she couldn’t see what Sean would get out of helping her so much.Well, perhaps she could just pretend it was due to their familial bond."I'll tell Dicky," she said, since she was worried the

As Lucas entered the room, Sean stirred—he was the type who got woken up easily.Staring at the blanket over himself for a moment and then at Cordy, he asked, "How long have I been asleep?""Less than ten minutes," Cordy said feebly. As a chronic insomniac, she had a profound empathy for being woken up abruptly.Sean stretched his arms, and didn’t appear to be upset from being woken up abruptly. "I wasn't tired, but fell asleep for some reason. You brought me this blanket?""It's nothing.""I know." Sean smiled faintly. Was she really so concerned to let on that she was actually that nice?She definitely got that from her mother, his aunt."Come in," Lucas said, suddenly emerging from Nana's room. "Nana’s asking to see you.""She's finally awake," Sean said, though his tone was a little grumpy."Yeah," Cordy said, and nothing else as they followed Lucas inside.Nana's face was still pale and she looked weak, but she smiled when she saw them come in. Seeing her like that, anyo

Lucas pursed his lips, but said nothing."Yes, he’s too worried about me. Otherwise, he'd never yell at people without knowing what happened. He usually doesn't behave like that," Nana defended Lucas.It appeared as if she wanted them to settle their differences, but in reality, anyone could tell that she was bragging about her close relationship with Lucas. However, she conveyed herself so naturally there would never be wounded feelings."That's how people behave when it comes to people they care about," Cordy said, agreeing to it.She was convinced it was fine as long as they cleared the air, and that she didn’t need any apologies. It was unnecessary, and was no big deal in the first place."Don't worry, Cordy. I'll head home soon and talk to my family to clear the misunderstanding," Nana promised."Thank you," Cordy replied, not rejecting the offer since it was naturally better to clear her name. Otherwise, things would be difficult for her grandfather Jesse."Of course. Bu

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
