A Life Debt Repaid novel Chapter 1358

Sam was worried that Quinn would start crying if he said no, while she said, "I promise to leave once I'm done."

At the same time, she tugged at his hand and shook it adorably.

'Damn it, when did she learn how to play up her cuteness?! And doesn't she get embarrassed, being as old as she is?'

Sam turned and sat on the couch quietly, though his silence made it clear that he gave in.

Quinn chuckled—so the soft approach worked on him.

She walked toward him and took the ointment, applying iodine on his bruised eye with a cotton swab.

Still, seeing it again made her giggle, and he promptly snapped, "Laugh again and I'm throwing you out!"

Quinn bit her lip—fine, she could stop laughing for once.

"Close your eyes," she told him just then.

"Why?"

"What if I get the iodine in your eyes?"

"Then don't laugh," Sam growled.

"I won't," Quinn promised, though she could not resist smiling when he actually closed his eyes.

She had never seen him letting someone land a punch on him even as a child, and yet he ended up bruised like this.
