A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1471

Quinn then said, "Ryan was rushed to the ER again. You're worried your parents would be overwhelmed, so you'd rather take a scolding so they can vent rather than tell them the truth."

"I'm not that noble. I just didn't want to talk," Sam said darkly.

"No way that's true," Quinn said, reading his mind.

He was never a good liar anyway, and he had a million different tells whenever he did lie.

"You're really kind, Sam," Quinn said earnestly—even more than Ryan.

It was true that Ryan was the pride of the Saunders family ever since a child. Though he respected his parents, he only ever took from the family and never gave anything.

On the other hand, Sam was often neglected by the family. Though he was mischievous and incorrigible, he would be there for the family when anything happened.

Getting embarrassed by Quinn's words, Sam was blushing up to his ears. "I'm going to sleep."

He was no sensationalist, and he would not get started now.

Quinn watched as he headed straight to the bathroom and felt thankful that she followed him.

Sam would be hurting a lot if he still believed that no one believed him.

After all, everyone was only looking at Ryan ever since they were children, including Quinn herself.

Was Sam envious or perhaps even jealous?!

But he had never said anything nor fought Ryan for anything.

Somehow, that left Quinn hurting inside.

She took a deep breath and worked hard not to let her bad mood fester—Ryan was still in the ICU, while Marvin and Lindsay's health could be affected if they persistently stayed with him.
