A Life Debt Repaid Chapter 1489

Quinn followed Sam out of Ryan’s ward in silence.

As they stepped outside the hospital, Sam’s car was already parked there and waiting.

Sam pursed his lips, intent on leaving directly since he had no idea what to tell Quinn.

“Sam,” Quinn suddenly called out to him. “Will you be coming back to the capital after you return to North City?”

Sam stopped then. “Probably not. Ryan’s recovering well, and it looks like he’ll be discharged soon. Mom and Dad will take him back to North City for rehab as

well, so I won’t have to travel back here.”

“So you’re leaving me here alone,” Quinn muttered under breath.

Her words were quiet, but it struck Sam in the heart so violently and abruptly he almost could not breathe.

He clenched his teeth and stayed silent, basically saying yes.

What else was she hoping for?! He had already said that he was just making do with her, and once he left, it was over between them.

She simply could not move him even after everything she did.

“Safe travels,” she said, because there was nothing else to say.

Understanding was enough. She smiled at him and turned to leave.

Sam watched her cutting a lonely figure, suddenly finding her so small.

Sam himself felt an ache in his chest as he left alone, as if he had really abandoned her, leaving her all by herself.

He clenched his fist so hard it was shaking.

He really wanted to gather her in his arms, but he must not.

Resisting the impulse, he got into the car.

Quinn was not alone anyway—she had Ryan.

At the same time, Quinn finally stopped after walking for a while, unable to resist turning around after walking past the main entrance. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

If… just if… Sam did not leave, she would tell him to stay and make an excuse to hold him.

But he did.

He and his car were gone, showing no ounce of sentiment.

Quinn’s tears flowed down her cheeks right then-she thought she could take it,

and that she pretended well enough.

But her chest hurt so much she just could not control herself.

It took a long while for her to calm down, and it was not until Lindsay called her that she composed herself and returned to Ryan’s ward.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief seeing her return, since they were all worried that Quinn left with Sam.

In fact, Quinn always fulfilled her promises. Even if she had mustered her courage to ask Sam to stay just now, she would not have left with him—she would only ask him to wait for her to go back to North City.

Trying to ease the awkwardness in the room just then, Lindsay asked, “Has Sam left?”
