A Life Debt Repaid

Sam had just stepped outside the hospital and was ready to get in a cab when Quinn ran outside, calling out to him loudly, “Sam!”

He glanced at her, almost telling the cabbie to leave just then.

However, seeing that she appeared pressed, he decided not to leave her behind even if that meant being scolded by her.

Quinn was panting as she got in the cab-she thought Sam was going to leave without her.

Fortunately, he did not, or she would have to take her own cab back to the hotel. Though that would actually be fine, since Sam was upset and needed time alone, there was no telling if he would go to the hotel, and if he did not answer his calls on top of that…

Either way, she was worried about his present state of mind.

Sam waited as she got in before telling the cabbie to head to their hotel, and the journey there was silent.

Sam stared outside at the streets without saying anything.

Though Quinn tried to muster her courage to talk to him a few times, she remained silent as she watched his cool demeanor from behind.
