A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1320

Everyone was waiting quietly in the hallway, and Sam was amongst them.

Around two or three hours later, the doors to the operating room opened, and the surgeon stepped outside.

Everyone surrounded him right then. "How is he, doctor?"

"Don't worry—he's not in danger."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Quinn did so too, although her eyes were on Sam.

"How are his legs? He was squeezed beneath the dashboard when he crashed," Sam asked calmly then.

"He was brought in just in time—any later and he would need amputation," the doctor said generously. "But thanks to the timely intervention, he'll make a full recovery without any issues. It would take a while since it is a serious fracture, though."

"Good. He's a racer, after all," someone suddenly said.

Sam nodded silently, relieved just then.

Just as the patient was wheeled out of the operating room, hurried footsteps and cries could be heard from the other end of the hallway. "What happened to my son? How is he?"

It was the racer's parents—Quinn could see from afar that they were wobbling and were tearing up even as they hurried to their son.

They were on the verge of a breakdown when they saw their son covered in bandages, with the racer's mother almost fainting.

"He's fine, ma'am," one of the racers assured her. "He's not in danger, and the doctor said he was brought in just in time. He'll make a full recovery, although it would take him a while since the fracture was quite serious."

The parents started to cry tears of joy—if something really bad happened to their son, they would definitely be overwhelmed.

Lunging at their son's stretcher, they shouted his name in agitation while following the medical staff toward the patient wards.

The others started to file out of the hospital, with a couple who were close with the racer staying with his parents.
