A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1438

After Sam left, Zoe was about to head to the washroom to bring Jay a wet towel when the man suddenly sat up on bed.

"Zoe," he called out.

"You're up? Does it hurt? You drank a lot," Zoe asked in concern.

"Nope. I was never drunk," Jay replied.

Zoe gaped. "Really?"

"Of course."

"Then you…"

"Yeah," Jay admitted.

"You're ruthless, you know that? It's your brother from another mother out there."

"Who's going to take care of you if I'm drunk?" Jay said as if it was only natural. "Your belly is swelling, y'know."

Zoe stroked her own stomach just then, feeling touched. "You did that for me?"

"Why else would I do it?"

Feeling warm in her heart, Zoe said, "Once I squeeze this one out, I'll get properly drunk with your friends."

Jay was left speechless.

Sam and Bob were drinking happily in the living room.

Quinn did not hurry them and killed time watching TV on the couch.

With Cordy leaving and Zoe taking care of Jay, she had no idea how long Sam and Bob were drinking. If anything, they seemed intent on getting drunk.

Still, Quinn was going to pick a movie when Bob called out with a muffled voice, "Quinn, I think your man's drunk!"

Quinn promptly put down the remote control and headed to the dining room to find Sam lying sprawled over the table, mumbling, "I'm not drunk… I can still drink. Bob… I'll leave you floored or else… Burp."
