A Life Debt Repaid

Chapter 1482

Chapter 1482

Having basically not slept for 24 hours, Quinn basically fell asleep when she lay down.

On the other hand, Sam, who had caught up with sleep and was less drowsy, did not doze off even after laying in

bed for a long while.

He simply lay beside Quinn, watching her sleeping face.

How much longer could he see her like this from up close?

He always knew that Ryan always got what he wanted, and he was no match for Ryan.

He leaned in, unable to resist kissing her on the forehead.

He gulped, the emotions he kept flaring.

He really wanted to hold Quinn firmly in his arms and never let go.

There was no telling how long had passed when Quinn's phone started ringing.

Sam promptly muted it for her and saw that it was Lindsay.

He hesitated, but eventually got out of bed and walked towards the balcony sliding doors. He then answered softly,

"Hello.''

Lindsay could clearly tell it was him and asked bluntly, "Where's Quinn?"

"She's still sleeping."

"Tell her to come to the hospital-Ryan wants to see her," Lindsay said right away.

"It's only 10 AM, and we only left after 8 AM," Sam said slowly.

"What are you getting at?" Lindsay demanded.

"Dad just told us to get some rest and take care of ourselves, for we can't afford to wear ourselves out. Quinn

already went 24 hours without sleep, and you're telling her to go just an hour after sleeping? Do you think she's

made of steel?"

"But Ryan made it clear he wants to see Quinn," Lindsay cried, desperate.

She was so afraid of upsetting Ryan that she would do anything he said, even if she was concerned about Quinn.

Still, Sam snorted. "So you're going to give Ryan the world if he asks?"

Lindsay was shaking with rage right then but did not snap at Sam like he did yesterday.

Working hard to control herself, she said calmly, "It's an important time for Ryan now. We have to satisfy him as

much as we can-’

"It's during this time that you should learn to tell him no. Make him learn to be strong instead of avoiding reality-"

"Can't you listen to me, Sam?! I know I've mistreated you and focused too much on Ryan, and I'm now guilty! But

be understanding now-you're both my children. How could I live if anything happens to either of you?!"

Lindsay burst out in tears right then.

Sam pursed his lips, understanding emotional blackmail for the first time.

His fingers clenched on Quinn's phone as he trembled.

As a man of principle, he would not be so easily dissuaded of his convictions.

However, just as he was about to refuse, he heard his father snap from the other end, "Did you call Quinn?! Didn't I

tell you not to do it?! How long did you think she got to sleep?! Just calm down already-Ryan is traumatized after

that accident, but he doesn't get to make everyone suffer with him! His health is his own, and Quinn's health is

hers!"

"So you're saying I'm wrong?! That everything I do is wrong?! That I'm ruining our family?!" Lindsay cried

hysterically in retort.

Sam listened to them argue for a while and eventually growled, "I'll be there.

It was time he and Ryan had a proper talk.
