A Life Debt Repaid

A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1490-“Yeah,” Quinn replied.
“Well, Sam’s busy and Saunderia is his responsibility now,” Lindsay said. “It’s good that he’s going back to North City. Now that
Ryan’s much better, he
doesn’t need everyone all the time.”
She wanted to soften the blow, since she could tell immediately that Quinn was depressed, having raised Quinn herself.
“Yeah.” Quinn nodded, smiling faintly.
Mom, Dad,” Ryan said just then. “It’s been hard on you, so why don’t you get some rest? I’ve already left the ICU and the doctors
said I’m fine. I just need to
adjust and get discharged in a few days.”
“Sure,” Lindsay said in agreement, relieved that Ryan had improved so much.
However, she also knew that Ryan wanted to be alone with Quinn. She added,
“We’re going now. Please take good care of Ryan, Quinn.”
In reality, Quinn was not given a choice aside from staying and taking care of Ryan.
“Okay.” Quinn nodded.
That in turn improved Ryan’s mood considerably.
As Lindsay and Marvin left, Marvin sighed audibly, upset with the arrangement.
But there was nothing to be done about it.
With Marvin and Lindsay gone and just them left in the room, Quinn broke the silence and asked Ryan, “Would you like some
fruit?”
“Sure, thanks,” Ryan said, staring at her as she picked up a pear and peeled it seriously, feeling high-spirited just then.
When she was finally done, she cut it into little slices and put it on a plate in front of Ryan. “Take your time.”

“Aren’t you eating?” Ryan asked.
“Not feeling like it.”
Ryan did not try to persuade her further and ate primly, somehow that confident and haughty man from before.
Quinn sat silently beside her, watching him and unsure if she contributed anything.
She put away the plate once Ryan was done and passed him a tissue.
Things were certainly amicable-or at least, that was what Ryan thought.
“I won’t let you down, Quinn,” he said.
Quinn’s fingers twitched, but she stayed silent.
“Mom told me you overheard what Sam said about you that day,” Ryan said bluntly, convinced that there was nothing to hide
about their relationship. “I told
you Sam wasn’t serious about you.”
“That’s between me and him,” Quinn said, clearly repulsed.
Ryan did not take it to heart, simply believing that Quinn was hurt and felt undignified.
“I’m serious about you,” he continued. “I won’t hurt you like you-I’m sure about you, and you’re the only want in my life.”
“Ryan,” Quinn said, looking him in his love-stricken eyes and saying slowly and clearly, “I don’t have any feelings for you.”
Ryan’s glee evaporated into a cold glare, but she continued,” Even if it’s over between me and Sam, nothing’s going to happen
between us.”
“Are you really going to keep being stubborn, Quinn?!”
“I just know full well that things are over between us. I don’t want to lie to you or ingratiate myself,” Quinn said bluntly.
“Then were you pretending to be nice to me?”
“I said you’ll always be a brother to me. And I just want my brother to get better,

and nothing else.”
“I don’t believe you!” Ryan snarled stubbornly. “You were just tricked by Sam to think that you feel nothing for me! When you
calm down, you’ll realize that I’m
the one you love!”
