A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1464

Quinn nodded, knowing that it was most important to take care of Marvin and Lindsay's health at the moment. With both of them being old, and Marvin recently suffering health issues himself, anything that happened to him now might turn out to be terrible.

"Let's go to the hotel for now. Sam will stay here to keep an eye on Ryan," Quinn quickly reasoned.

Lindsay eventually agreed to it thanks to Marvin's insistence, though she told Sam again to immediately inform them if anything happened.

"Don't worry, Mom." Sam nodded. "Come—I'll walk you to the entrance."

Sam watched as Marvin and Linsday got in, and then at Quinn, who was riding shotgun.

A million things crossed his mind, but he ultimately buried it and stayed quiet.

Quinn turned to look at Sam as well. There was a sense of an attachment in their gaze, but it ultimately went unsaid.

Sam hence watched as the car sped into the distance, its tail lights disappearing before he returned to the hospital.

He sat in the hallway outside the ICU, finally having the time and mood to check his phone.

Unsurprisingly, he had countless missed calls and texts.

He ignored most, tapping on the group chats with John and Cordy respectively.

Everyone was asking basically the same thing.

John: [What happened?]

Jay: [Sam, what is it? Why was Mr. Saunders' birthday event suddenly canceled?]

Bob: [Say something, man. You're killing us, not answering our calls! What could be so serious?]

Cordy: [What happened, Sam?]

Zoe: [Reply, Sam! What in the world happened?! You should look at your face—that and your parents'! It's on the news?!]
