Chapter 1475
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, âItâs alright, Ryan. Well be by your side and get through this. Donât give up-the doctor said your surgery was a success, and youâll recover.â
âRecover?â Ryan groaned feebly in grief. âWithout my leg? Iâm never recovering-lâm useless now.â
âYouâre not useless. Donât forget that youâre a scientist who works at the most famous research center in the country,â
Quinn quickly said. âDonât be mean to yourself-did you forget that your wisdom is a wealth for all people?
Donât give up just because of a little setback. Youâre always a genius to me, and that will never change.â
Ryan listened in silence, his tears welling up in his eyes and still in denial about losing a leg.
âDonât do this, Ryan,â Quinn said, wiping her tears. âYour parents are waiting outside, and theyâre worried. They canât live if you donât pull yourself together. Donât let them down now, theyâve always been so proud of you.â
âI already did. Iâm less of a man now.â
âThey love you the most in this world. Theyâd accept you even if you lose both legs and actually feel your pain.â
âYou donât think Iâm disgusting?â Ryan asked her just then.â Itâs so revolting to lose a leg.â
âNot at all. I just feel pain for you,â Quinn said determinedly.â Donât give up on yourself, Ryan. Weâre family, and weâll always have your back-youâll have us even if you lose everything.â
âYou too?â Ryan murmured.
âOf course.â Quinn nodded. âIâll always be with you.â
âQuinn, youâd better come good on that promise,â Ryan said.
âYeah.â 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. âSo? What did Ryan say?â
âHeâs still depressed, but I think heâs not giving up,â Quinn replied. âI think heâll come to terms if we give him time.â
âThatâs good.â 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?!
