A Life Debt Repaid

A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1475-Ryan turned toward Quinn, his gaze projecting frailness and despair.
Quinn could actually imagine how hurt and hysterical he could be inside, but she assured him, “It’s alright, Ryan. Well be by your
side and get through this. Don’t give up-the doctor said your surgery was a success, and you’ll recover.”
“Recover?” Ryan groaned feebly in grief. “Without my leg? I’m never recovering-l’m useless now.”
“You’re not useless. Don’t forget that you’re a scientist who works at the most famous research center in the country,”
Quinn quickly said. “Don’t be mean to yourself-did you forget that your wisdom is a wealth for all people? Don’t give up just
because of a little setback. You’re always a genius to me, and that will never change.”
Ryan listened in silence, his tears welling up in his eyes and still in denial about losing a leg.
“Don’t do this, Ryan,” Quinn said, wiping her tears. “Your parents are waiting outside, and they’re worried. They can’t live if you
don’t pull yourself together. Don’t let them down now, they’ve always been so proud of you.”
“I already did. I’m less of a man now.”
“They love you the most in this world. They’d accept you even if you lose both legs and actually feel your pain.”
“You don’t think I’m disgusting?” Ryan asked her just then.” It’s so revolting to lose a leg.”
“Not at all. I just feel pain for you,” Quinn said determinedly.” Don’t give up on yourself, Ryan. We’re family, and we’ll always have
your back-you’ll have us even if you lose everything.”
“You too?” Ryan murmured.
“Of course.” Quinn nodded. “I’ll always be with you.”
“Quinn, you’d better come good on that promise,” Ryan said.
“Yeah.” Quinn agreed to it, under the impression that she would stay with him as family to help and encourage him, just like his
parents would.
She did not think of anything else at all.
After that, Quinn and Ryan made small talk, in which Quinn kept encouraging Ryan.

She was not allowed to visit for too long, since the last time Sam did, Ryan had needed emergency surgery. The medical staff
had her leave in concern that Ryan would get agitated again.
Marvin and Lindsay promptly came up to her. “So? What did Ryan say?”
“He’s still depressed, but I think he’s not giving up,” Quinn replied. “I think he’ll come to terms if we give him time.”
“That’s good.” Lindsay breathed a sigh of relief at those words.
Quinn was actually relieved as well, since she was worried that Ryan would really give up.
Clearly, he was not suicidal when they spoke.
If anything, Quinn was more worried about Sam. Where did he go, alone and without his phone?!
