A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 776
After all, their victory at the competition was overwhelming.Zoe didn’t hold back either, and poured herself a full glass while toasting Jay. "Sorry for being late, Mr. Parker. Bottom's up. "Zoe chugged her glass right after she spoke, while Jay glanced at her before picking her glass and finishing it in one go.Zoe remembered that he couldn’t hold his liquor.Had he improved so much after they were just years apart?Well, that had nothing to do with her anyway."I thought you were busy?" Jay asked nonchalantly."I was just finished," Zoe replied, not bothering to elaborate."Right." Jay didn’t ask anything further—it was just a polite exchange.After they drank, Candice pulled Zoe along to start drinking with the others. Though she was late, Zoe didn’t try to push them away. However, they were so intoxicated that they promptly joined in once Zoe offered them a toast.And thus it was a massacre in under an hour, with some of them vomiting their stomachs out right then and

Zoe quickly asked, "A-Are you alright? Should I call an ambulance?"Jay's heart rate was frighteningly fast! "I-I'm fine," Jay stammered, working hard to make his voice sound calm. "I just had a little too much to drink.""But your heart’s racing," Zoe said seriously. "You might contract something in your veins, and a blood clot in your brain can lead to stroke."Jay chuckled feebly at her words. "You really want me dead, don't you?"Zoe was speechless—that wasn’t what she meant, but whatever. She didn’t want to waste time on him; they were all adults, and it was his own business to take care of himself."Where's your phone? I'll call your assistant to take you home," she said."I think it's in my pants pocket," Jay replied, but he was not reaching for it.Zoe was speechless—a drunk person was really difficult to deal with.She reached into his pockets, but there was nothing in either of them.Was he messing with her?"There's nothing there," she said, not noticing that t

Jay was more or less keeping himself in line on the way home, saying nothing and not vomiting until they arrived at the destination.Zoe paid the cab fare and helped Jay out of the car, asking, "Can you go upstairs yourself?"Jay's figure wobbled, before he said slowly, "I don't know."That was definitely a no—Zoe knew that much.Jay had always been cunning, always troubling others even though he looked like the type who wouldn’t.Zoe clenched her teeth and helped him into his apartment complex, and up to his unit.Naturally, the man was staying in an affluent district. Zoe opened the door to see a spacious apartment, with glass walls covering three of the four walls. It was an expensive property Zoe hadn’t seen for a while, a little impressed and unable to resist giving it a few more looks.She used to scoff at grand apartments like these, but now, they were her dream house.As she helped Jay into his exceedingly luxurious bedroom, he suddenly said, "I think I'm going to be

Zoe quickly left Jay's bedroom, but she must’ve walked around the apartment twice before finding the laundry room. She threw all her clothes inside and pressed the buttons…only to find that it would take almost two hours for her clothes to dry.She suddenly remembered Jay taking Bob to his house three years ago, and how Bob vomited all over him. Jay waited for two hours at the time, too. The circle of life, indeed.As Zoe stayed in the laundry room, Jay never came to check on her—he probably fell asleep right after taking his shower, since anyone would easily doze off with alcohol.It was especially true for her, since she was already feeling drowsy without getting drunk.Still, it was understandable since it was already past midnight.She yawned endlessly, and checked the time to see that it was already one in the morning. She hesitated for a while before heading to the vast living room, out of the laundry room.The view outside the glass wall was indescribably beautiful

How did Jay get up so early?He really was operating like an elderly person would…"Sorry, I fell asleep without noticing," Zoe apologized. In a sense, she was also saying she didn’t want to stay there."I know," Jay replied. "Your clothes have been cleaned, and I’ve already taken them out. It's on the couch beside you.""I'll get changed right away," Zoe said. She promptly picked up her clothes and headed into the main bathroom, where she found even her underwear stacked neatly on her clothes…She decided to ignore it, and started to leave after changing.Their group was on break today—they all got drunk last night, and after a hellish week of rehearsals, they would all be sleeping in and resting to get themselves sorted on their break. Zoe was planning to go home and sleep the entire day too, but Jay called out to her just as she stepped out of the bathroom."Zoe…""Is there something else?'"Yeah. Have some breakfast before you go.""I'll pass.""It's ready…""I don’t

Cora said, "Mom’s asking everyone to eat at the manor. You didn't answer our calls, so she told me and Bob to swing by while we're heading over.""Oh, okay," Jay replied. "Will Cordy be bringing Dicky?""They're at the capital. They won't make it."Jay asked no further questions, and said, "Come on in.""Okay," Cora said, and headed inside with Bob."I'll go now," Zoe said, prepared to put on her shoes and leave right there and then."You can leave after breakfast," Jay said, stopping her."I'll pass.""It's fine—it's still early, and we're not going to Levine Manor straight away," Bob suddenly said.Zoe glanced at him, and nodded.Jay pursed his lips, staying impassive. Cora didn’t know that Bob used to date Zoe, and didn’t care much either since she believed that they were just good friends.Still, Zoe felt very much on edge, given the complicated relationship between all four of them who were now sitting in the same room.It was Cora who broke the awkward silence. "What'

Jay quickly offered, "I'll take you home."Zoe immediately declined. "It's alright. I can just take a cab.""That'd be inconvenient. You're quite famous now.""I just need a disguise.""Just wait a moment. I'll get changed," Jay insisted, not giving her a chance to refuse. "You're a cripple and you can't drive. How are you going to take me anywhere?" Zoe said bluntly, and Cora was stunned by her insulting outburst.How could she say cripple on a whim? No one around Jay ever said it for years!"I can go back on my own," Zoe added determinedly, not caring about the looks others were giving her."I can give you a ride," Bob suddenly said. "I happened to bring my car."Cora was slightly irked, since it was her boyfriend who would be getting in a car with another woman.However, Bob simply continued, "Cora, wait for me here. I'll be back to take you and Jay once I've sent Zoe home."Then, turning towards Zoe without waiting for anyone's approval, he told her, "Come on."With th

Bob suddenly asked, "Please don't tell me you're rejecting Jay because he's a cripple.""He's actually a cripple?" Zoe exclaimed in surprise."What, you didn't know? You even called him a cripple just now!" Bob was left dumbfounded. "I thought…it's just a fracture, and it'd heal soon," Zoe was even more dumbfounded than him.Bob shot her a look before stopping his car by the curb, which left Zoe perplexed. He had seemingly done it for no reason.Once he stopped the car, he asked solemnly, "You really didn't know?" "What?""That Jay was caught in a car crash," Bob said, still surprised. Zoe gasped in shock. "Was it serious?"Bob rolled his eyes. "Are we doing a comedy routine right now?"Zoe was speechless, but she definitely had no idea—she had kept herself isolated from everything the year she left North City, pregnant.Bob actually seemed a little disappointed about that. "Jay never announced it, but most of the people in the business knew—either immediately or eventual

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
