A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 795
Lucas continued his rant, his anger rising steadily the entire time. "I have a fiancee and we're supposed to get married soon, and we've been together for three years! Somehow, that’s no match for the three months I’ve met you, and now, I’m going to be scum! Fuck! What is it about you that draws me to you, that I’d fall so hard for you?!"He was blaming Cordy for everything, even though she was always so harsh to him and never tried to seduce him—ever.Yet he fell for her, anyway. Was he some sort of masochist?! "Say something!" he snarled furiously, feeling a little creeped out as Cordy continued to gape at him.Cordy came to her senses, since her mind was still processing whether Lucas was John Levine.Everything he said never crossed her mind, and it was certainly not the fact that he was engaged."Say what?" she asked blankly.Lucas almost had a heart attack.She managed to bewitch him after coming over to seduce him, and now, she wasn’t going to claim responsibility?!
A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 796
Lucas was absolutely livid. "You better explain yourself, Cordy! Why the hell did you take my hair—"He looked up, only to find that Cordy was already gone.Fuck! Lucas could blow up from sheer rage—she left right after she was done flirting? Where was her sense of responsibility?!He rushed straight into the bathroom, dousing himself with cold water to cool off. -On the other hand, Cordy wasn’t actually as calm as she appeared as she left Lucas's room.In fact, she was worried she would lose control.Now, the priority was to confirm Lucas's identity with no uncertainty.Dicky's paternity test failed before, but the boy claimed that the sample was the issue. She didn’t think much of it at the time, and was convinced that he was just being obsessed.But at this very moment, she believed Dicky completely.She returned to her hotel room to find Dicky on the couch, watching TV.He beamed when he saw her return. "Welcome back, Mommy."Cordy stared at him, her fingers clenc

It was past work hours at the DNA test center, but naturally, Sean could make the arrangements.They also worked fast, and the result came in under two hours.Sean held out the document folder to Cordy, who looked visibly nervous."Is it really that bad?" Sean asked in surprise, since Cordy always kept her emotions hidden.Even if Dicky didn’t resemble Cordy, he really doubted if they weren’t related, considering the striking resemblance in their mannerisms."Should I read it to you?" Sean offered, considering her reaction."No," Cordy said firmly, taking the folder and slowly opening it.Sean looked over her shoulder to read it out of curiosity, and they both saw it. [99.99% chance of biological connection between subjects.]In other words…Cordy's eyes immediately turned red, and utterly so. The immense emotional turmoil overwhelmed her.She had actually considered the possibility that Lucas was John Levine.Before, both Dicky and Zoe insisted that he was, just as she

The door creaked, and Dicky's voice could be heard as it opened. "Come in, Lucas. Mommy's not around anyway…"Just as he finished, he found Cordy seated on the couch and looking utterly pessimistic."Mommy?" Dicky gasped in surprise. "When did you come back?"Why didn't she call him after she did, or went looking for him?Lucas—no, John—was frowning at Cordy as well, and there was a slight displeasure in his tone. "Why didn't you say anything after you came back?"Cordy turned towards John, and wondered what he went through that he would make his face into that state.Her eyes welled with tears, which started to gush quietly; as if a dam had broken.She wondered for a moment if she would end up using up all the tears she had for the rest of her life.John was shocked by her reaction—had she always been so vulnerable? She certainly wasn't whenever they got into fights.Dicky was shocked too. "What's wrong, Mommy? Please, you're scaring me… Wait, was the test result a dud? T

Cordy wiped her tears subtly and worked hard to repress her emotions, and asked, "You haven’t eaten yet?""Have you?" John asked in return.She shook her head."Then what are you spacing out for? I've already booked a place at the restaurant. Come on," he said, and reached out to pull her up to her feet.Cordy's fingers twitched, her heart aflutter. John urging her to have dinner soon was just a nonchalant gesture on his part, and yet…The instant he touched her hand, she seemed to flinch, which left John with an indescribable emotion.He couldn’t even describe what he was feeling.Damn it! He was never this sharp towards her before, but now, every move and every gaze she had left his heart pounding uncontrollably.However, he didn’t let go of her, and actually held on tighter.Cordy didn’t turn him down either, and the trio left the room.Dicky was so happy, he could hardly hide his delight from his little face—his parents were finally getting back together, and their family

Cordy was afraid of imagining that John was still alive, but he really was… And yet, she was apprehensive all the sameWas this what they meant with 'win some, lose some'?!At the dining table, the waiters brought their respective steaks. Cordy had too much on her mind and ate very slowly, basically not tasting anything at all.That was when she saw John pick up her plate, swapping his with hers. Surprised, Cordy stared blankly at the steak which had been cut into tiny slices.John was actually surprised he would do that for her—he never took the initiative with anyone else.And yet, he couldn’t help it when Cordy was involved."Don't get any funny ideas," he said, though it was clear he was eager to please.Cordy couldn’t help smiling as she watched his terrible acting.John naturally noticed, and gave up on pretenses. "Fine, I just want to be nice to you and couldn't help it, because you’ve bewitched me. Is that good enough?"Cordy's smile broadened.For some reason, sh

John then began to recount how he started dating Nana. "I happened to run into Nana at the time. She was just about to get a heart transplant surgery with not much chance of success, around sixty to seventy."Cordy's fingers clenched on her wine glass—she hated it, but she also wanted to know his past."One of the care workers had wheeled me out on a stroll in the garden of the hospital. I looked like a mummy, with my whole face bandaged. She must’ve found my appearance amusing, so she approached me and asked what condition I had.""She spoke in Zidonian, and it gave me a sense of familiarity in contrast to my parents. Moreover, it's been a while since I just woke up from the accident. I basically never spoke to anyone… And yet, I talked to her a lot that day, and we learned about our respective situations.""That was when she said she’d date me if she survived the surgery. I said yes."John glanced at Cordy as he said that, and saw her calmly sipping her red wine, looking almost

Even if Cordy did her best to hide her smile, John could tell immediately. "Did you fall for me early on, but was afraid to confront those feelings because I was being hostile?""I'm not that childish.""Then, are you rejecting me?" John asked, feeling a little uneasy.Instead of answering, Cordy asked, "How are you going to handle your engagement with Nana?""I'll make it clear to her. Don't worry." John was determined. Now, he knew very well that the feelings he had for Nana was based on sympathy; there was zero attraction whatsoever.Why else was he not eager to get it on with Nana? Was that really because he was careful with her?No. In reality, he felt zero impulse for that at all.As for Cordy… He would have her, right here and now!Whoops, his thoughts strayed a little there.However, his expression had clearly changed; Cordy frowned at that strange look on his face.Nonetheless, he composed himself and asked solemnly, "Well, I've told you everything about me.

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
