Lindsay was absolutely furious. "Why did I call you? Don't you have any empathy, Sam?! Your brother is still in the ICU!""And what do you think I should do?!" Sam bellowed. "Shall I watch him 24/7, or would you have preferred me to be the one in the accident?! In the end, I mean nothing ever since I was a child, and there's no problem even if I get killed!" Sam's sudden outburst was so loud that it startled Quinn."Sam…" she called out to him tentatively.Sam pretended not to hear it.At the same time, Lindsay turned silent on the other end and started sobbing after a long while. "You're killing me, Sam…""Not me. You—all of you—have been killing me from the very start!" And with that, Sam flung his phone on the floor so loudly Quinn was left stunned silent. He then got out of bed and stormed out of the room.He even slammed the door shut loudly in his wake, but Quinn needed a long while before she came to her senses. She had never seen him that furious despite having a chip

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Saunders," Quinn replied, avoiding Lindsay's question. "I may be upset too since what happened in the past couple days can get on anyone's nerves. I'll do my best to show restraint after this—I'm getting changed now. I'll talk to Ryan."As Quinn left, Lindsay wheeled on Marvin, who sighed. "She's right—everyone's upset after what happened, but we can't take it out on others because of that. It's unfair to anyone.""I'm just—""You're the one who told me how much Sam changed, and said we should make it up to him after owing him so much, so why are you so upset with him now? He stayed here alone keeping watch the entire night without sleep, and he needs it no matter what happens. How else would he be able to take over while we rest?! Don't forget that we're too old to stay up for too long."Lindsay remained indignant. "Then why would Sam tell Ryan about the amputation?! The doctor had orders to keep Ryan in the dark, and even if we neglected Sam, it's unbelievable wh

While Quinn stayed with Marvin and Lindsay at the hospital, she kept holding on to her phone, waiting anxiously for news.Eventually, Cordy texted her when night arrived.[Don't worry—my cousin found Sam drinking at a bar. He's just cranky but otherwise fine. John and I are now coming to the capital and we'll see him soon. We'll keep an eye on him.]Relieved, Quinn was earnestly grateful. [Thank you, Cordy. Sorry for putting you through all that trouble.][It's no trouble. John and I are coming anyway—Sean's been urging me to do so for a while now, and there's no better time to do it.][Yeah.]Quinn had no idea what to say, though there were times when feelings did not need to be expressed. Cordy soon sent her a photo of Sam drinking at a bar.It was dark and grainy, but Quinn could sense that Sam was upset even from behind the screen.She really wanted to go to him, but as she turned to glance at Ryan in the ICU, and then at Marvin and Lindsay who looked exhausted, she ultim

Ryan seemed to notice she had been sleeping outside and wanted to send her away. "Quinn, you don't have to stay with me all the time.""No, your parents insisted that I stay with you until they're back," Quinn said, rejecting him right away."That's unnecessary," Ryan said. "There's no reason to put everyone through so much.""It doesn't matter as long as you get better.""Get better…" Scorn was clear in Ryan's eyes."I've told you, Ryan—it doesn't matter if you're missing a limb." Quinn did her best to reason with him. "You have such a great mind that can still contribute to the world. Have you forgotten your ambition? Are you giving up already?" "I don't want to give up," Ryan replied, shaking his head.Even so, he was just aggrieved. How did this happen to him?! It was just so unfair!His work has merit and contributes to humankind, and this was what he got? How was he going to stay calm and rational in this world with a missing leg?!"You have to be strong Ryan," Quinn

"Okay," Cordy said.Quinn then led them to the ICU, and even Cordy felt a little overwhelmed to see Ryan's condition.That was despite them being distant from Ryan, as John had mentioned that they never could warm up to each other since Ryan did not like friends.Moreover, just because they were a little younger, they were all brats to Ryan and beneath him.However, John still had reason to come visit since Ryan was Sam's brother, and Sam was his best friend."How is he?" Cordy asked."Much better," Quinn replied. "He was overwhelmed before, but he's slowly adjusting—he needs time."Cordy nodded—that would be the case for anyone."I believe in him. He's always been strong, and he'll pull together once he accepts reality," Quinn said.Sam and John were standing beside them, and Sam could hear the affirmation Quinn had for Ryan.That was true—Ryan was probably all-powerful in her mind, just as everyone else considered him the greatest existence.As for Sam himself, he was born
