A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 68
It took Cordy considerable effort to help John back to his bed.He was staying in a VVIP ward, though it was more apt to call it a suite. Nurses and rehab staff were waiting for orders in the living area, while Cordy was alone with John in the bedroom.Randy his assistant, was nowhere to be seen.And things suddenly got awkward as they were alone together. "Would you like some fruit?" Cordy asked, just to say something. "Yeah."She glanced at the fruits in the room and asked, "Apple?""Sure.""Okay."Cordy picked up an apple, washed it, and started peeling it.She was no fan of fruits and basically kept none at home. Moreover, she had been busy during her time abroad, at Jessop Corp, and now at Starstream Group. She never had time to peel fruits for herself, and the apple certainly left a mess.She awkwardly looked up at John and saw the obvious smile in his eyes as he asked, "Are you done?""If you don't mind," she said, and gave it to him.John stared at it before comm

It took Randy a long while to finish feeding John, and he fled the room after.Still, he did not forget to kindly lock the door behind him.Cordy glanced at the clock and saw that it was already 10 pm. She should be heading home. But just as she was about to speak, John suddenly said, "Please wipe my body."As she turned toward him, he continued, "The doctors told me that I should not bathe."She certainly knew that—but was it appropriate for her to do it?!"I'm not used to being touched by other men," John explained then, and Cordy quickly remembered that all the rehab staff were men too."I don't think I can sleep feeling dirty," John said. "Please."Cordy took a deep breath right then. It was always good manners to repay a favor, and she owed John more than a favor this time.Thus, she headed to the bathroom, filled a bucket with warm water, and soaked a towel before returning to him."Close your eyes," Cordy said. "I'll start with your face."John did as he was told,

As such, Cordy promised him, "I'll come tomorrow when I'm finished with work.""Sure," John replied, grinning without going through the motions of being polite.He was just… sly!After Cordy left the hospital, Randy entered the room, groveling. "Mr. Levine.""Help me to the washroom," John told him."But you had the perfect chance… Why didn't you ask the missus to help?"John shot him a look.Cowed, Randy quickly corrected himself. "Oh, you're always straightlaced, sir. You'd never mess around."John scowled even harder—he just did not want Cordy to think that his kidneys were weak if he went to the washroom one too many times. As Randy helped him to the washroom, John paused. Randy quickly offered, "Should I help you with your pants, sir?"He had certainly lost John's 'affection' ever since John became lovesick.However, he was still a bootlicker when it was necessary, and he would always do so when the opportunity presented itself."Get out!" John snapped.Randy cring

Keeping his temper in check, Simon asked, "What do I have to do for you to accept a private settlement?"Cordy sneered. "Why are you so eager to settle it privately? I'd be half-dead if John Levine didn't take that blow for me.""I know you suffered, but I'm doing this for Starstream Group," Simon said, his tone turning soft gradually. "It's going to affect the company negatively if this gets out, and we're still family, right? I naturally feel sentiment for Starstream after working there for so many years—I don't want our scores of employees to get hurt over this."Cordy sneered again—despite Simon's pretty words, he was just afraid that they would connect the incident to him.Still, she relented. "Well, since you've put it that way, it's not as if I can't settle it privately.""Really?" Simon was clearly thrilled."But I have several conditions.""What conditions?""Firstly, the culprit must cover all of John's medical expenses, including the fee for his medication, his hospi

Noel had called Simon immediately after she left Cordy's office before driving straight to the hospital where John was staying.She had certainly been waiting for this day.Without any chance to get close to John and worried that she might repulse him, she now had the perfect excuse to approach him after he was hospitalized.And when it came to men, she had always bewitched them with relative ease.She knocked on the bedroom door and entered, a bouquet of flowers in her hand and a bright smile on her face. Seeing the man who was ridiculously handsome even as he lay in bed, she greeted him. "Hello, Mr. Levine."John, however, was looking at her coolly, so she quickly introduced herself. "I'm Noel Sachs, Cordy's sister.""Same father, different mother," John added.It left Noel feeling a little awkward, but she soon regained her composure. "You see, my sister is busy, so she sent me here to visit you. Also, allow me to apologize on behalf of Starstream Group after one of the wor

Noel was left frozen stiff for a moment, but she quickly changed her expression, looking miserable and teary-eyed. "I'm so sorry," she said. "I didn't know you were allergic to lilies—I'll be careful next time.""I'm not allergic to lilies—I'm allergic to you," John said icily, every word a threat. "Just be careful not to show your face around me."Noel's face abruptly turned pale.She could not believe what she was hearing!No man had insulted her like that ever since she was a child, because they all loved her shy, delicate nature…It must be Cordy's fault! John must have said that for her benefit! Still, Noel withstood her distress and picked up the bouquet of lilies before running out of the ward.Cordy watched as Noel left, and she must admit that she felt a little exhilarated.Boys would hover around Noel ever since they started attending school, and Cordy had no idea why they all liked Noel so much.Did the scent of hypocrisy not stink enough? In fact, Cordy felt

Cordy stayed in John's ward, keeping him company while working on her laptop—there was still a lot of work to do.She was so engrossed on the occasion that she did not hear what John was saying. Still, he did not disturb her, even picking up an apple nearby and starting to peel it.Randy Martin was just passing by when he happened upon the scene, his jaw dropping right then!Who was the patient there?! To think that his boss was quite the domestic goddess!Still, he quickly fled, afraid to disturb them just then.Meanwhile, Cordy was still reviewing several letters asking for instructions. Then, she suddenly spotted the plate of peeled apple slices beside her laptop, and each had a toothpick as a skewer. She picked one up and ate it offhandedly.It had been a while since she had apples, and she almost forgot that they could be so sweet. And after the first slice, she took a second, her eyes fixed on the screen… until she realized something unusual while eating.There was

Before Cordy could speak, John added sharply, "And don't tell me you weren't being distant. I have a heart; I can feel it."In other words, he was telling her not to lie to him. Cordy stared at him in silence for a while before asking, "I thought you knew?""No, I don't," he replied, not bothered to play around."I don't believe in love, and I've rejected you before already," Cordy said, lowering her gaze in fear of meeting him. "It's just your stubbornness talking."She did not want to admit that it was because of Zoe York.There would be no 'other woman' if he never wanted to be with her."So you mean to say that my effort was bearing fruit, which was why you're deliberately distancing yourself?" John asked, as if to confirm it.Cordy was taken aback, but she admitted it with her silence. What other reason was there?!John was too dangerous—she must not get too involved with him."So, I failed to offer you a sense of security," John said. "I will restrain myself as best

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
