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

Cordy felt like she never had a good day ever since she met Lucas.She caught cold twice when she never fell sick before, and she kept tripping over when she never fell…He really was a jinx."Cordy."Nana suddenly called out from the doorway.Cordy turned toward her and replied, "Nana.""I knew you'd be here. Lucas is having an IV infusion next door," Nana said as she walked up to her bed. "Are you okay alone? Should I keep you company?""I'm fine. You should stay with Lucas.""But your face looks so red," Nana said worriedly."It's normal for a fever. I'll be fine when my fever breaks.""Oh." Nana nodded and said eagerly, "I'll peel an apple for you.""You don't have to…""It's alright. Don't push me away now—we're cousins, remember?" Nana said earnestly. "My grandma always mentions you, saying how hard it was to bring you back to the family. She said we should be nicer to you since you've suffered a lot out on your own.""What about Lucas? Don't you have to stay with hi

Cordy coughed for a long while before she caught her breath, while Nana quickly explained, "I'm sorry, but I was just curious… I don't have many friends because of my health, and I'd like to know more about relationships between men and women. It's just—I think my relationship with Lucas is different from others.""It's fine. I just accidentally choked, it's nothing," Cordy told her."Then… Can I ask you about you and your boyfriend?" Nana asked."What do you want to ask?""Like… Have you had sex before?" Nana was embarrassed yet stubborn."No… Not yet.""But why?" Nana gasped in surprise. "I thought that's only me and Lucas… I googled about it, and it says that couples tend to do it after confirming their relationship, but Lucas seemed to have no intention of doing it. That's why I thought we had relationship issues, so I'm surprised you're the same.""I… I had some bad experiences before, and we just confirmed our relationship, so it's not time for us yet." Cordy came up with

As Nana happily left, Cordy's gaze darkened as she watched her leave.If she was not sure before if Nana had been probing her, she was now.Nana was clearly testing her, to see if there was anything fishy going on between her and Lucas. In fact, Nana deliberately mentioned that she never had sex with Lucas just to test if Cordy would react happily to that information. That in turn would compel Cordy to suggest that Lucas was abstaining because of Nana's health problems, which was a reminder to Cordy of how much Lucas cared about Nana, so that Cordy would not get any funny ideas.It was just as Cordy thought—Nana was not as simple as she seemed.However, it did not matter that much since she was just a distant relative. What Nana was really like was not something she had to worry about.Cordy just had to know that Nana was not as childishly naive as she appeared, and that was plenty enough.Cordy fidgeted in bed, actually feeling sleepy because of her fever.And as she closed h

Finally having had enough, Cordy yelled back at Lucas, "Did I ask you for anything?! Who told you to come?! I was sleeping here just fine, and I didn't need you to wake me, let alone yell at me! Even if I'm being negligent to my son, that's my own business. What right do you have to care?! You're not his father!""Cordy Sachs!" Lucas snarled through his teeth.Nonetheless, Cordy continued, "Don't stand there acting like you're being noble when you're just going to emotionally blackmail me! Who do you think you are?! Even if I die here, it has nothing to do with you! What you did was a violation of my personal privacy, and I can sue you for it!"Lucas was left absolutely livid, and glaring at Cordy with red eyes while feeling the impulse to strangle her for an instant. He had no idea why he would overreact to her. All he knew was that when he passed by, an unknown sense of terror struck him when he saw that her blood was being drained into the IV bag. He did not hesitate in that in

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
