A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 933
Paul, however, was not taking Cordy's words to heart. "I'm not about to buy into your tall tales.""Uncle Paul," Sean said sternly then. "You can doubt us, but just don't impede us. Cordy and I have decided to come clean because we're family—we can work as one instead of pointing fingers. It's obvious that someone is out to hurt Grandfather, and if we don't find them, our whole family will be in danger. And we shouldn't end up falling because of this."Seeing that Sean had put it that way, Paul knew that he could not stay stubborn, though he was still a little miffed and snapped, "Well, what you say goes now in the family since Dad trusts you so much. But I'm putting it out there first—don't expect us to wipe your butt if you mess up. I'm too old for your nonsense.""Don't worry, Uncle Paul. Just back us up, and you don't have to worry about anything.""Well, I'm not bothered," Paul huffed and left with his family, while the others returned inside Cranston Hall.Sean had 'Jesse' s

"Don't you think the Lynds would set a trap at John and Nana's wedding?" Cordy asked.Sean realized with a start and quickly said, "That's definitely a perfect chance."Cordy, however, turned silent, and Sean frowned.Realizing why in an instant, he asked, "You want to stop the wedding?""Yeah." She never hid anything from Sean."That begs the question, can you stop it?" Sean asked.Cordy's face fell, while Sean made himself very clear. "I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but given current circumstances, you have no chance of beating Nana.""But what if I do?" Cordy asked."Then we'll just have to wait for opportunities," Sean said with understanding.In other words, if she could stop the wedding, she would have his blessing."Don't you dare regret it." Cordy smiled."I won't," Sean replied. "I've been wanting John Levine on my side early on." "I know.""He told you?""Yeah." Cordy nodded."He really told you everything, huh?" "He loved me to bits.""That's in th

Sean explained, "There was no disputing that John would be the perfect man for that job. I was amazed by his abilities in his confrontation against the Stuarts, and following further conversations at length, I became sure that he's the one I want.""But why won't you consider taking over leadership of the family?" Cordy remained curious about that.He was the eldest grandson, was at the right age, and had the strength for it. One might even say that the rest of the Cranstons had already tacitly acknowledged him in that capacity—even Paul, his uncle and a known troublemaker, would more or less defer to him.What reason could he have to delegate such a grand legacy to someone else?!Nonetheless, Sean simply smiled. "I think I'll pass on telling you my reasons, or that might ruin the amazing opinion you have of me.""Don't worry, you're not that amazing in my opinion.""But I'd still rather you afford me some dignity," Sean said bluntly, though it only made Cordy more interested."

Nana groaned, "But I want to get discharged soon. We're supposed to get married this week.""We can change the date," John told her."I refuse. It's so difficult to arrange this, and changing it might jinx things too.""Your health is more important.""I know my body," Nana snapped. "Getting married would only improve my health, and don't you remember what my former cardiologist said? I'd live well and longer if I'm in a good mood."John gave up right then. "It's your call.""Oh, I love you so much, Lucas." Nana reached out for his hand.His fingers clearly twitched, but he did not push her away.-The next day, Cordy went looking for John at the hospital in her wheelchair.Sean was worried about letting her go alone and insisted on coming along.They waited for John in his ward, since John spent most of his ward at Nana's ward.If he did not go, she would get out of bed to look for her, and she could not bear the exertion given her health.As such, he usually waited until

Cordy's eyes were welling up with tears even as she asked, "Can't you just call off the wedding?""No," John replied."You'll definitely regret it," Cordy told him solemnly."Even so, I'll marry Nana," John told her definitively.Cordy bit her lip—she had so much more to say, but she could not say them.John was frighteningly determined, and she could not persuade him at all.There was nothing she could do."Don't waste your time on me." John remained unmoved by her misery. "I'm not worth it."With those words, he turned to leave, completely cold toward Cordy.Cordy ultimately could not stop the tears streaming down her cheeks.She always thought herself strong and was prepared for John's rejection.But if John really was that easy, Nana would not have to push him this far.And now, each time John was being cruel to her, it felt like her heart was cut to the quick…She did not even see Sean chasing down John, snapping icily at him across the walkway in the hospital, "John

Cordy did not argue, since she understood Sean's concern. Once John married Nana, Nana would have a million different ways to humiliate her no matter how she tried to cling on to John. That was why she must stop the wedding.-Sean found himself genuinely impressed by Cordy's perseverance as she headed to the hospital again the next day.She was just so cruelly rejected yesterday and clearly moody, but once the day changed, she seemed rejuvenated and motivated again.He went with Cordy, and they were just arriving at John's ward when they saw him stepping outside.He appeared surprised when he saw Cordy, surprised that she had returned so soon."Cordy—""Don't get so full of yourself. I'm not here for you." Cordy cut him short, turning her face away in true tsundere fashion.John pursed his lips, while Sean appeared stunned as he stood beside Cordy.So, today's plan was playing hard to get?!It was certainly unorthodox, but Sean was convinced that it would not work either

"Of course." Nana did not hesitate—she always got what she wanted no matter who stood in her way."Let's discuss terms," Cordy said bluntly."Us?""Yes." Cordy nodded.Nana hesitated. She knew for a while that Cordy was no pushover, but she was not afraid of Cordy—Cordy was the one who lost whenever they clashed, after all."Fine." Nana agreed to it just then, somehow interested in what Cordy was up to.Cordy then turned to John and Sean. "Please clear the room." Both of them frowned but left the room, leaving just Cordy and Nana."Speak," Nana told Cordy while watching her calmly."I'm sure you know a lot about me by now."Nana raised a brow. "In what way?""Every way," Cordy replied confidently. Nana pursed her lips—she certainly did, since Cordy was the enemy."So you'd know what I'm like. I can dazzle even if I've been dealt a bad hand, without any help."Nana raised a brow again. "Are you threatening me?" "Not quite, but I guess I'm telling you that I'm not as

Having come to an agreement, Cordy did not linger and strode out of Nana's ward.John and Sean were standing in the corridor, with a great distance between them.It was obvious they could not stand each other… or to be precise, Sean could not stand John."You done?' Sean asked."Yeah.""What did you talk about?" Sean asked in curiosity."I'll tell you later. Let's head back for now."Sean refrained from asking right then and walked over to wheel Cordy away, passing by John who watched them.Like every other moment he was left watching Cordy left, he clenched his fists…"Lucas," Nana called out to him just then.John withdrew his gaze and headed inside her ward.She watched him and asked, "Don't you want to know why Cordy wanted to talk to me?"John had been getting quieter around her ever since Cordy showed up, as if he no longer cared about her."You'd tell me if you wanted to tell me. It's pointless even if I asked if you don't," John said indifferently.One could feel

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
