A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 706
Cordy had seen 'that' alright.It really hurt her eyes to see it; she needed to wash them when she got home."So I wasn't imagining it?" Zoe's face turned paler.While Cordy and Quinn were both left perplexed, Zoe panickily tugged on Cordy's sleeve. "He must have some grudge that keeps him here to rise from the grave like that! That's why he's haunting us… Come on, we have to visit his grave right this instant!""Visit whose grave?" Cordy was perplexed, suddenly realizing that Zoe was operating on a completely different wavelength from herself. Was Zoe really that drunk?"His grave, of course!" Zoe said solemnly. "He must be getting lonely.""What… Oh?!"Cordy yelped as Zoe started dragging her away. Her body was already aching from the fall just now, and her ankles were swollen.And now, she was getting dragged unceremoniously around by Zoe!Next time…No, there wouldn’t be a next time. She was never drinking with them again, but if she had to, she wouldn’t get drunk!Res

"To light a candle and put some flowers at his grave, of course," Zoe said, as if it made perfect sense."What, did you see a ghost?" Cordy frowned in bemusement. "Yeah!" Zoe nodded repeatedly. "You saw him too, didn't you?""When?" "You just did… Whatever, you were drunk," Zoe snorted, not bothered to elaborate.Who was the one drunk here again?!"Let's go," Zoe said, and quickly dragged both of them towards the graveyard."Hold it." Quinn stopped her. "Are you sure we're going in there? In the middle of the night?""I mean, I have to light a candle and put some flowers at his grave, right?" "Zoe, are you—""Zip it! Let's move."Zoe refused to let them speak and kept shoving them inside.The graveyard was dimly lit, though the rows of graves were clean and tidy.Only the rich and powerful of North City can be interred here. In fact, it cost so much to buy a lot here that the most expensive apartment units in the city were cheaper.For Zoe's part, she never saw the poi

Cordy stared quietly at the headstone, and at the familiar face on the ceramic photo. That face that could only be seen in photos now, so close yet so far…The agony in her heart struck her like a thunderstorm, and she completely lost control as her tears gushed endlessly.It had been three years, but she believed she would never forget John, even if thirty years had passed."Cordy..."Zoe walked up to her side, feeling a little guilty.She was spurred by a drunken impulse to bring Cordy here. Had she known this would happen, she would’ve come alone.John probably just wanted some flowers and candles, and they would just leave them here and be done with it.Cordy bit her lip, trying to hide her feelings. She really hated letting her feelings out.And yet, there was no controlling it when it hurt so much."Let's just go." Zoe had no idea what else to say, other than taking Cordy and leaving as soon as they were done here.In fact, she was worried Cordy could die from the ago

Zoe cried, "W-What should we do?"The shock left her helpless."What else can we do?! Put out the fire!" Quinn snapped."Oh, right!" Zoe exclaimed, and promptly took off her coat.Quinn followed suit, and Cordy had no choice but to follow.The trio did their best, but just as they put it out…"What are you doing?!" A voice barked in the darkness.Zoe thought that she would have died hundreds of times over if she had a bad heart.Nonetheless, the trio turned to find a security guard dressed in uniform, scowling as he barked at them, "Got yourselves drunk and came to set the place on fire, did we?"Zoe began, "Look, gramps—""Who are you calling gramps?!" The man was further incensed. “I'm just in my thirties!"Zoe was left speechless for a moment, wondering how white his hair was for a thirtyish man. Still, she said, "Look, friend, we're not here to burn things or anything. We're just here to visit a grave, and the candle we brought somehow set the flowers on fire. But see? W

Zoe asked innocently, "Then… Can we bail each other?""What do you think?"Zoe sighed quietly, afraid from blurting the “Yes” she had in mind.In fact, she had no intention of making things awkward for the cops. She really had no one who could post bail for her.She had no relatives and no other friends than the pair with her here.Cordy understood Zoe's misgivings, and was left wondering how things became of Zoe and her biological mother.But since Zoe didn’t want to say, Cordy wouldn’t ask.Cordy sent a text on Whatsapp, before calling Randy to post bail…until she gasped in surprise. "What?! You're on your honeymoon?""You approved my leave immediately too, Miss Sachs!" Randy was on the verge of tears. The man had just left town with his new bride, but if he rushed back in the night now, he would end up marrying his job instead."Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot." Cordy remembered then, along with the approval she gave."I delegated my tasks to Walter…""Yeah, I know. Happy ho

Zoe had more to say, but Cordy quickly left with Lucas, leaving Zoe rubbing her eyes. "How much did you drink, honestly?" Quinn groaned beside her."That's definitely John," Zoe insisted.Cordy said he was not—they just looked alike."Likeness is not the point here." Zoe snorted. "Don't you get it? It's his presence—the way it hits you like a truck when he's just standing there. Hell, if I'm wrong, you can take my head and use it as a chair."Quinn was left speechless. "… I wouldn't dare." "So, is that a human or a ghost?" Zoe mused then, seemingly obsessed with the question.Quinn was rolling her eyes, realizing right then that she could not properly communicate with Zoe tonight now that she was all caught up in that mumbo jumbo."Maybe he actually survived?!" Zoe suddenly exclaimed excitedly when she imagined that possibility."Keep it down!" an officer barked."Y-Yes, sir." Zoe was promptly cowed.Even so, she had a hard time calming down at the thought that John might

Zoe noted that Sam still had that old, fashionable buzz cut of his as he walked up and stared down at her. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm here to post bail for Quinn."Zoe pursed her lips—she would still feel awkward being caught red-handed for bad-mouthing someone behind their back."Sam," Jay called out to the man just then.As Sam turned towards his friend, Jay gestured with his chin. "Get registered over here."Sam headed over right then, while Zoe turned toward Quinn, who was smiling faintly.Zoe simply could not understand—she always knew that Quinn had no love for Sam, so why did Quinn insist on sticking with him?-After the paperwork was done, all four of them left the precinct together.Sam and Jay had been talking for a while when, considering that Jay had trouble walking, Sam asked, "Need a ride?""It's fine. My chauffeur's here.""I'm going, then.""Come hang out when you're free," Jay said then. "Bob's been complaining that you haven't been talking to us, an

Jay then asked, "Where are you staying?""Draxton Apartments," Zoe quickly replied."You heard her," Jay told the chauffeur."Yes, Mr. Parker," the man replied respectfully and started the car.-The car sped along the broad, quiet streets in silence.Somehow, the interior of the car was even quieter—one could even hear breathing inside.It seemed that Zoe was really uncomfortable being alone with Jay in the same room, just like she had been with him at the studio before.This was a complete repeat of that experience now, and it felt like she was sitting on a carpet of needles.As such, Zoe kept staring outside the window without turning toward Jay once, therefore not noticing that he was glancing at her a few times.He watches as she basically pressed herself against the door, trying to keep her distance as much as possible. Jay tried to speak many times, but he ultimately chose silence.When they arrived outside her apartment, Zoe quickly opened the door and said, "Thank

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
