Lindsay was absolutely furious. "Why did I call you? Don't you have any empathy, Sam?! Your brother is still in the ICU!"
"And what do you think I should do?!" Sam bellowed. "Shall I watch him 24/7, or would you have preferred me to be the one in the accident?! In the end, I mean nothing ever since I was a child, and there's no problem even if I get killed!"
Sam's sudden outburst was so loud that it startled Quinn.
"Sam…" she called out to him tentatively.
Sam pretended not to hear it.
At the same time, Lindsay turned silent on the other end and started sobbing after a long while. "You're killing me, Sam…"
"Not me. You—all of you—have been killing me from the very start!"
And with that, Sam flung his phone on the floor so loudly Quinn was left stunned silent. He then got out of bed and stormed out of the room.
He even slammed the door shut loudly in his wake, but Quinn needed a long while before she came to her senses. She had never seen him that furious despite having a chip on his shoulder even as a child.
She started to follow him when her phone rang.
Hesitating for a moment, she eventually turned to answer it. "Yes, Mr. Saunders?"
"Is Sam with you?" Marvin asked.
"He was, but he left."
