A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 712
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

Their car soon arrived at Saunders Mansion and Quinn alighted.Sam stayed inside, looking like he had no intention of moving. "Not getting out?" Quinn asked."Nope.""Not going in?""Nope.""Why?""What do you mean 'why'?" Sam asked in return.Quinn simply stood there, watching him.He rolled his eyes and growled impatiently, "I was in prison for three years, Quinn Summer. That means three years without action—what do you think I want to do most after getting out?""Aren't I enough?" Quinn asked.Sam glowered right then, but she simply continued, demanding, "Are the women out there that much better? Do I sicken you that much? Are my breasts too small or my hips too wide?""I don't need anyone who's forcing themselves to do something they don't like.""Did I ever say I was forcing myself?""Quinn Summer!" Sam flew into a rage right then.His poor temper never changed—and it probably never would, no matter how much time had passed or whatever he went through.Even after

So what the hell was Quinn up to now?!How could she bear to say the word 'husband', especially to him?!"How much did you drink, woman?!" he bellowed. "Don't do it if you can't hold your liquor, and I'm never taking your crap—""Let's start over, Sam," Quinn suddenly said. Her gaze, expression, and overall bearing was serious.Sam's heart skipped a beat, and it felt like he was struck by something—it did not hurt, but it was a powerful feeling nonetheless and one that he could not begin to describe."We're married, so why don't we give each other a chance?" Quinn continued. "Let's move out of Saunders Mansion and stay somewhere else together and try to make this work, okay?"Sam had to tell himself that this was not real, that he must never believe her—that she was just talking out of her butt.How could she say something like making their marriage work when she could not wait to leave him? She must have been doing very well for herself over the last three years, since she

Cordy snapped, "I didn't ask for you!""What, did some jinx call me?!" Lucas shot back."That's an insult to an officer!" Cordy said sternly. Lucas pursed his lips, and said, "What, are you saying you didn't ask the officer to call me?""Nope."Lucas's voice was getting louder as he demanded, "Then, what?! Does he have my number or something?!""Yes! He remembered you from that bar fight!"Lucas was left stumped for a moment before then continued loudly and assuredly, "The cops wouldn't decide on that themselves. You put them up to it!""No, I called my assistant and asked him to help," Cordy explained while restraining herself. "But it turns out that he's on his honeymoon.""What, he didn't delegate his tasks when he works at a big company like yours? Who do you think you're fooling?!""Yes, he had a stand-in, but my phone ran out of juice by coincidence! They don't have a charger for my phone's model either, and do you think they could just get one this late at night? The

Cordy stood on the bleak street, feeling no disappointment at all.Lucas had every reason to leave her out here, but it was just a little awkward for her since her phone was out of juice.She had no way to call for help or a taxi, and she was standing on a street in the quiet outskirts of North City in the wee hours of the morning.There was no car in sight, let alone people.She did not even know where she was or where she should be going.She shuddered as a cool breeze billowed—it was really cold.She hugged herself, but just as she hesitated between leaving or waiting, a familiar car returned and stopped beside her.While Cordy frowned, the car window wound downward, revealing Lucas' smug face. "Get in!"To be honest, she was surprised that he turned around."Get in!" he snapped impatiently then—anyone who did not know better would be convinced that they had a blood feud. Still, Cordy gritted her teeth and got in.The night was dark and cold, and she had to prioritize pe

There was only silence during the journey until they arrived at Cordy's mansion.She had just alighted when the car sped off right then.She just wanted to offer a polite word of gratitude in return—even if it was a bumpy ride, there was no doubt that Lucas had bailed her out and brought her home.She was just about to turn and leave when she realized Lucas' coat was still on her.It was fine, since she could sleep better with his scent.Patients could not be choosers.-The next day, Zoe texted their chat group: [I wish I was dead. Anyone up yet?]Cordy, who was suffering from a head-splitting headache, replied: [Yeah.] She put a hand on her forehead and noticed that she was slightly feverish, so she made a mental note to take some cold medicine as she got out of bed.On the other hand, Zoe was already on the subway heading to the studio for their rehearsal early in the morning.She thought she could die just as she woke up. Still, she asked Quinn: [What about you? @Quin

"Cordy!" Nana appeared excited to see Cordy, perhaps surprised that she would run into her at the hospital.Cordy had wanted to get out of the elevator immediately and take the next one, but that plan failed."What a coincidence," she replied."It is!" Nana exclaimed chipperly. "What are you doing here?""Just a little cold.""You too?" Nana was surprised." Lucas too. He had a fever and a cold, and his temperature was 103 when I checked. He refused to come to the hospital despite that, and I had to force him to come here. See? His face is as red as a beetroot."Cordy turned toward Lucas, who quickly turned away.He was as proud as he always was, though his cheeks were ridiculously red.Cordy snickered since it was really funny, but he saw her reaction.Narrowing his eyes and returning her gaze, he snapped, "Do you think you're any better?! You're redder than me!"Cordy was left speechless—the man really could hold a grudge. "Why are you being so rude to Cordy?" Nana demande
