Chapter 108

Author: Hardy Banana
Eloise, Mary, and Zach tagged along as I visited the hospital.

The staff gave me a full check-up, including a pregnancy test.

Zach planned to ask a doctor to fake my pregnancy. However, he did not know that I was actually pregnant, so there was no need to fake it.

They finished my tests while Zach was still on the phone down the hall.

The doctor came over and happily told Eloise and Mary the news.

“She’s about six weeks along, and the baby is developing well. Her health is great. Come back in three months for regular check-ups. Mdm. Gordon, you’ll be holding your great-grandchild soon.”

That made Eloise light up with joy. She quickly told Mary to bring the doctor some food.

The doctor was surprised, but he did not refuse her offer.

So, Mary sent the driver to pick up some food to share with all the doctors and nurses in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.

They were already this excited just to hear that I was pregnant. I could not even imagine how they would act when the

    I thought that I could finally go home, but Eloise smiled mysteriously and said, “Hold on. Someone else is coming.”Who was coming?Cecilia.She hurried over with a flustered look and stood unsteadily at the end of the hallway. Eloise calmly held my hand and watched as Cecilia stumbled toward us.“Cassia, you’re Zach’s legitimate wife, and now, you’re having his child. So, don’t worry about any outsiders.”At this moment, an outsider was standing right before me. Eloise must have told her. Since Zach had probably not explained anything to her yet, she looked anxious.Cecilia stared at my belly in shock. Her eyes seemed ready to attack as if she wanted to pull the baby right out of me.“C-Cassia, you’re pregnant?”Eloise answered for me, “Yeah. Didn’t I explain it clearly on the phone?”“How can you be pregnant?” She was so surprised that she failed to mask her expression.Eloise frowned. “What do you mean? Why can’t Cassia be pregnant? Cecilia, you need to understand your pla

    There was a crystal ashtray on the desk. I had to fight the urge to smash it on Zach’s head.“Zach, you’re not going to push all the blame of this on me, are you?”“Well, you’re the one who brought up the divorce.” He laughed as he turned away. “So, when you don’t have a backup plan, it’s better not to act on impulse.”He walked toward the door, and I saw the pink scarf at the door disappear.I felt really frustrated. “I didn’t act on impulse! Zach, I’ve thought this through! I don’t love you anymore!”He held the doorknob. As he opened the door, he smiled at me over his shoulder.His smile seemed to say that I was just putting on a tough act.Zach left, and the door clicked shut behind him.Fine.The words “I don’t love you anymore” were not completely true. It was still too soon for me to move on.Imagine having loved someone for ten years. You would not be able to just forget it after a few hours of telling yourself to move on during a quiet night.Reason might tell me to

    I let her in, and sure enough, she walked over with a charming smile. It was so sweet that it felt like candy had spilled everywhere.“Mrs. Gordon, you’re here,” she said softly. “Perfect timing! I ordered your favorite lavender cake, and it just arrived. You should try it.”Cecilia was great at making people feel good. She knew how to read the room. Whenever she wanted to befriend someone, she would flatter them until they were delighted.She brought over a nice paper box and placed it in front of Mary. Then, she sat next to her. “Mrs. Gordon, try this and see if you like it.”Mary smiled politely and pushed the box toward me. “Cassia, you try it for me. I haven’t been eating sweets lately because I don’t want to gain weight. My waist is getting bigger.”Cecilia’s smile became a little awkward, but she still remained sweet. “Oh my, look at all this food! Mrs. Zara’s cooking is amazing. I sometimes crave her dishes.”“Oh my, I only brought two sets of utensils. Why don’t you go g

    Cameron and I had stayed in touch. We would occasionally have video calls, and we got along well. He was divorced, and he had a lively six-year-old daughter.I asked Hailey to get a doll for her. It was made just for this little girl, and I liked the princess dress so much that I knew she would love it even more.Then, I asked the driver to take me to the airport. When I walked in holding the big doll, I was surprised to see Zach and Cecilia at the arrival gate.Was I seeing things? What were they doing there?Cecilia was also holding a doll, and she smiled smugly when she saw me.D*mn it, Hailey. She told me that she had firsthand information.At this point, I had to approach them. “Hey, Cassia! What are you doing here? Who are you picking up?” Cecilia said.“Take a guess.” I did not want to talk to her.Zach stood next to me with a calm smile. Suddenly, he leaned in and whispered, “You received the right information. Cameron changed his flight three times, and you got the e

    I nudged Cecilia aside with my hip and sat next to Rachel.Zach took the front seat, while Cameron and I sat on either side of Rachel.The car could only fit five people. As such, Cecilia had to use another car so that the driver could do his job.I could tell that Rachel did not like her. Kids could sense certain things. They would not be fooled like adults.Cecilia was reluctant, but she had no choice.Even though Zach probably wanted to get out and be with her, he could not.If he left, it would give me time to discuss my partnership with Cameron.Rachel loved her doll and hugged it tightly. She looked up at me and said, “Cassia, what should we name her?”“How about ‘Long Hair?’” I suggested.She looked at me. “That’s it?”“Isn’t it a good name?”She smiled and kissed the doll’s head. “Long Hair, you’re so cute.”She accepted the name even though I was not good at naming things.My pets always had simple names. For example, I once had a dog named Mop because of how it

    Zach’s sneaky plan was outrageous.There was no way that I would let him win.I leaned back in my seat with my eyes closed and pretended to be in pain.Rachel squeezed my hand and asked, “Cassia, what’s wrong?”“I’m not feeling well.”“Why?”“Because I have a baby in my belly,” I said softly but loud enough for Cameron to hear.Cameron glanced at me. “Are you feeling really bad?”“I can’t sit in the car for too long. I need to lie down.”“If I had known, I wouldn’t have asked you to pick me up.”“If it had only been a short drive from the airport to the office, it would’ve been fine.”I was implying that I did not know Zach would drag us to this random Cameron Hill.My comment was directed at him, and he was smart enough to catch on right away.He quickly turned around and squeezed my hand with concern. “Sorry, Mr. Quinlan. Cassia’s pregnant and not feeling well. We’ll go another time,” he apologized to Cameron.“Sure. We can go another day,” Cameron agreed.I almost fel

    Sophie was surprised. “Why? Aren’t you the Gordon family’s priority now? How did you end up without a place to stay?”“Quit that nonsense. I have a kid with me.”“Isn’t the baby still in your belly?”“She’s six years old.”“Wow, she’s grown fast!”I did not waste time chatting and told her to go home right away.Rachel was already very tired. She was only six, after all. She fell asleep as she leaned on me in the car.When we reached Sophie’s house, she was not home yet. Nevertheless, my aunt was happy to see me. “Cassia, you’re here! Sophie called earlier but didn’t explain much. Oh, who’s this pretty little girl?”“Aunt Lauren, we’ll be staying here for a few days.”Lauren followed me. “Of course, of course! Mr. Ziegler, Mrs. Ziegler, please get a guest room ready and make the bed.”The driver then carried the sleeping Rachel inside. After all that running around, my back was hurting.I followed them upstairs while I held my back. Mrs. Ziegler had made the bed, and the dri

    Lauren hit Sophie on the head. “You brat. Can’t you eat a little less? Cassia’s pregnant, and it’s not easy for her to find foods that she likes.”Sophie rubbed her head and kept trying to grab more pulled pork from me. “When did we get to the point where we can’t even afford pulled pork?”Mrs. Ziegler smiled as she watched us. “There are still enough ingredients in the fridge. I’ll make another batch. These kids have been stealing food from each other since they were little.”Yes, Sophie and I had been competing for food for over twenty years.Rachel woke up and came down the stairs without shoes. Her hair was messy, and she was crying.I rushed over with food still in my mouth and kneeled down in front of her. “Don’t cry. I’m here.”She touched my face. “What’s that smell, Cassia?”“It’s pulled pork. Do you want to try some?”“I’ve never had it.” She shook her head.Since she was not allergic to pork, I thought that it would be fine to let her try some. I picked her up and

    Sophie knocked on my door the next day around 7 a.m.I only managed to fall asleep at about 2 a.m., so I had a bad headache. I sat on the bed as she ran over excitedly and asked, “Are you busy this morning?” “Go away.” I lay down again. “Come to the city hall with me. I’m getting married!”“Why do you need me there? Am I going to breastfeed you?”“You don’t have milk right now.” I was disgusted by our conversation. Rachel sat up from the bed and asked, “Why are you going to the city hall?”“To get married.”“Shouldn’t you be going to a church for that? There’s supposed to be a priest with a bible that asks if you’re willing to marry this person next to you regardless of
 something?”“That’s a religious wedding. Besides, it has to be lawful. What we’re doing today is the legal side of things.” Sophie carried Rachel up from the bed. “Do you want to be a witness to our marriage?” “Yay, sure!” Rachel immediately beamed and agreed. “I want to be the priest who holds the bibl

    Cecilia had no shame at all. I would be speechless if this worked on Zach. After a while, she walked out dejectedly with her flowers. It seemed like she did not even manage to enter his office. She stood there in annoyance for a while before she suddenly looked over in my direction. I could see her, but she might not be able to see me. I was on a high floor, and the sun was blinding. Right then, Hailey gave me a call. I knew that she wanted to rant about Cecilia. Sure enough, Hailey started to complain, “Ms. Freeman, Cecilia is really shameless. I’ve never seen such a shameless woman. When Mr. Gordon was cut off from Gordon Corporation, she abandoned him immediately. Now that she knows he’s going to be Gordon Corporation’s acting CEO, she instantly starts visiting him again. I really can’t stand her.” “Hasn’t she always been like this?” I was unfazed. “Fortunately, Mr. Gordon is not willing to see her.” Hailey sounded relieved. “Do you really think he won’t see her fo

    I looked at Austin’s pale face, and I was at a loss for words. His argument was reasonable, and I had no way to refute it. I was upset, but I could not cry. I felt a heavy feeling in my chest, and I found it hard to breathe. He looked at me and suddenly smiled. “Look at your face. Have I ever said that I liked Sophie? I don’t like girls like her. I prefer girls like you who are smart, beautiful, and decisive. Why don’t you marry me after you give birth to your babies?”I did not want to joke around with him. It was not funny.After that, Lucy exited the bridal shop and got into the backseat of the car. I stood in front of the bridal shop and watched as his car disappeared into the corner. “Cassia,” Sophie called out to me. I turned around. “What?”“Whose side are you on? I realize you’ve been extra nice to Austin recently. Have you forgotten that he’s a jerk?”“Watch your mouth.”I got into my car unhappily. “I’ll make a move first.”“Aren’t we having dinner together to

    I knew that he was looking at the photos of him and Sophie in her wedding gown. Perhaps this would be the only time in his entire life that he could stand next to Sophie while she was dressed in a wedding gown. I felt the waterworks coming. When I tried to look for tissue papers in my bag, Zach called me. He sounded a bit excited. “Cassia, there’s this person overseas who has the same blood type as Austin. He has ALS, which is a fatal motor neuron disease. His family has already signed an organ donation form for him, and his condition recently worsened. He may pass in a month’s time, so I got in contact with them. His family has agreed to donate his heart to Austin.” “Really?” It was good news, and I almost leaped in joy. I glanced at Austin excitedly. He was staring intently at his phone, so he did not notice me. “Does Austin have to leave immediately?”“It’s still early. We can leave when the donor’s condition worsens.” I estimated the time. Zach said that it would ta

    Sophie could easily start a fight wherever she went. I immediately went over and saw that Austin’s forehead had turned red. It seemed to be getting swollen. I kicked Sophie in anger. “Is there something wrong with you? What are you doing?” “Why did you kick me? Didn’t you hear what he just said?”Austin bent down and picked up Sophie’s phone for her. “Luckily, your phone screen isn’t cracked. It’s fine if my skull is cracked; it can heal.” Sophie took her phone, and it immediately unlocked due to face ID. Her wallpaper was a photo of Kingston and her. She had just changed the wallpaper yesterday. It used to be a photo of me and her. Austin was the one who had taken that photo. Even though Austin was not directly in the photo, it felt like it was a photo of the three of us. He must have noticed it. He smiled and said, “I’ll make a move. Tell Lucy I’ll be waiting for her in the car.” Austin walked out of the bridal shop, and Sophie looked dispirited. “I was quite happy, bu

    “You’re getting married too?”“I’ll be your best man or maid of honor. What? You’re too cheap to pay for the outfits?”“You, my best man?”“Look around you. Are there any single people left?”Sophie rolled her eyes. “Hah, I wasn’t planning on inviting you.”Kingston tried to shake Austin’s hand, but Austin ignored him. Sophie got mad and pulled Kingston away. “Don’t pay attention to him. He thinks he’s too good for anyone. He’s crazy.”“Sophie,” I warned.“What? He’s always acting crazy!” she yelled.I was not sure if Austin really wanted to be Sophie’s best man, or if it was just an excuse to come here.Anyway, Austin went to change too. I could not tell the difference between the best man’s and groom’s outfits. However, the difference between the bridesmaid and bride was clear.While Sophie was posing in front of the mirror in her wedding dress, Austin came out of the fitting room.Austin was very thin, and the suit hung loosely on him, but it still looked good.He had a

    Sophie’s wedding preparations were progressing quickly. She limped to work in the mornings and dragged me along in the afternoons to buy wedding stuff.I felt like the wedding was just an excuse for her to go shopping.“This afternoon, Kingston and I are trying on our wedding outfits. You should come too.”“It’s your wedding. Why should I come?”“To help me choose! I look good in everything, so it’s hard to pick.”“If it’s that hard, just buy them all. Aren’t you rich?”“Why are you so grouchy?” She leaned closer and observed me. “Cassia, are your hormones off balance?”“I’m pregnant, so everything’s a mess right now.”After some thought, I called Austin and told him, “Sophie’s trying on wedding dresses this afternoon.”“Okay,” he replied in his usual lifeless tone.“Aren’t you going to say anything to her?”“Don’t eat too much. The wedding dress will be a pain to alter.”I was so angry that I hung up. He was so stubborn. I was sure that he would regret it and cry later.M

    Austin was the weakest among us when we were kids. He could not climb trees, run, or do anything physically demanding. Instead, he would play board games and puzzles with us.Sophie always thought that he was smart, and she admired him.I never imagined that someone I grew up with might die so soon.“You should leave,” he said weakly. “She should be done by now.”“Austin.” I wanted to say something more, but he turned his back to me.He did not want to listen, so I had no choice but to leave.As I reached the door, I heard him say, “Actually, this is a good thing.”Was he saying that Sophie marrying Kingston was a good thing?What was good about it?I felt like grabbing Sophie over. I wanted to point at the dying man in bed and say, “This guy loves you more than you know. He helped you test Kingston’s character. He thinks about you all the time. He comes to see you every night using his half-sister as an excuse, but he’s dying. He doesn’t want you to be sad, so he plans to die

    “I just went for a checkup.” Austin walked over to me. “Why are you sweating so much?”He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and gave it to me. Honestly, only Austin would still carry a handkerchief in his condition.I wiped my sweat. “I came with Sophie to get her cast off, and I thought I’d stop by to see you.”“Get her cast off? I thought that wasn’t until next month?”“She insisted on getting it off today. The doctor checked, and her bone is healing well, so it’s fine for her to take it off.”“When did she start caring so much about her looks?” Austin walked back to his room, and I followed him.He sat down and seemed a little out of breath. I had already asked the doctor about him. Austin could not engage in any physical activity; he could not even walk fast.I was about to pour him some water, but he waved me off. “Don’t bother. I’m not thirsty. How could I let you take care of me? I might be a patient, but you’re pregnant.”At least, he could still joke. If I were him
