A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1361

The next morning, Lindsay called to say that Marvin had woken up, but Sam was absolutely refusing to go to the hospital.

For one, he woke up with his eye swollen and even blacker, which was very amusing.

Secondly, he did not want to see Ryan ever again.

Still, Quinn dragged him to the hospital anyway—they were family and were only going to run into each other inevitably.

Marvin appeared enfeebled in the ICU, and the doctor said that he needed time to recover.

However, he seemed worried about work and pestered Lindsay to call in his assistant Peter.

Lindsay naturally refused. "You should be resting, dear. The doctor said that you're really sick, so get some proper rest. Don't worry about anything."

"I'm not. I just want to know about the company's situation—"

"If you're not worried, then you don't have to know," Lindsay told him. "Don't worry, the company would still run itself even without you. Quit worrying, you know your health matters."

"I…"

"Dad," Ryan spoked up, unable to keep watching just then. "You shouldn't worry about the company in your state. What if the same thing happens again if you overworked yourself? You'd be squandering your health as well. How could that be good?"

Marving became a little upset just then. "You don't get it. The company won't be running if I'm not around to worry."

"So you're letting him worry himself sick? Who's going to take responsibility for what happens?!" Ryan demanded.

"I know my body. Quite bothering your mother," Marvin snapped angrily.

Ryan clearly had more to say when Quinn suddenly spoke, "Calm down, Mr. Saunders. I can help with the company."

"Not yet," Marvin said, suddenly calmer as he was always kind toward Quinn.

As for his two sons… The eldest might be accomplished, but there was no question that he never contributed anything to the family business. Naturally, the second contributed even less.

That was why he never held out much hope on either of them—it was only Quinn who always stayed by his side, helping with the company.
