I understood what Yulia was saying.

She had known from the start when I pretended to be Hayden’s girlfriend. But this time, it was real.

I apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry.”

“There’s no need to apologize. I know Hayden loves you, but I also know that you don’t feel the same way about him.”

I froze and pulled my hand away from hers. “I didn’t know you could read people like that.”

“Stop pretending. You don’t look at him that way.”

“I’m blind.” I laughed. “I can’t see anyone.”

She took me to the examination room and let me in. When Dr. Jordan arrived to help me, she left.

I could tell that Yulia had feelings for Hayden.

I lost my cool and got a little angry earlier when she said that I did not love him.

Everyone said that I did not love Hayden, but we just started dating. Feelings could develop over time. Besides, I really liked him. Love could grow from liking someone in a warm and caring environment.

Eventually, those feelings would blossom, and no one would be able to st

    However, Dr. Xavier was with me this time.I thanked him and took a big sip.I felt a little uneasy with him sitting next to me, so I said, “I can wait alone. It’s fine. You can carry on with your work.”He shook his head. He was wearing a medical mask, a white coat, and glasses. My eyes were getting better every day. I could see certain details, even though I still could not make out his finer features.“Did Hayden ask you to stay with me? He’s just being overly cautious. I hope I’m not bothering you.” Sitting in silence was a bit boring, so I tried to talk to him.Unfortunately, Dr. Xavier did not seem very chatty. He just listened in silence. I loved to talk, unlike some people who were quiet.Since he was not saying a word, I could not just awkwardly fill the silence.I had to stay quiet and wait.Even so, I could not shake the feeling that Dr. Xavier was always looking at me. It made me uncomfortable. I touched my face and asked, “Is there something on my face?”Sud

    After the test was over, I heard Hayden’s voice as soon as the doctor walked me out.“Cassia.”“Finished your rounds?”“Yeah.” He came over and held me. “Just had your intracranial pressure test?”“Yeah, but the results aren’t out yet.”“Let’s wait in the office, then.”“Oh, by the way, Dr. Jordan said that my eyesight’s getting better.”“That’s good,” Hayden said. “Your last brain scan looked better too. These things take time. It’s not like in the movies where your vision suddenly comes back one day.”“I know. Life isn’t a fairytale.”He wrapped his arm around me and touched my coat pocket. “What’s this?”“Oh, the Rubik’s Cube.” I pulled it out. “I already solved one side. Pretty good, right?”“Did you bring it?”“No, Dr. Xavier gave it to me.”“Dr. Xavier?”“Yeah, the one from your department who’s getting married soon.”“He’s on leave to prepare for his wedding.”“What?” I froze and felt uneasy. “That wasn’t Dr. Xavier? Who was it, then?”“Maybe it was Dr. Savier?”

    I stopped playing with the cube, as I did not think I was charming; I was just lucky.I smiled at her. “Is Hayden the most popular guy in this hospital?”“Of course! After learning that Dr. Smith has a girlfriend, all the single nurses were so disappointed.”“Well, I guess I need to treat Hayden even better. I can’t let you all down.”“Ms. Freeman, you have such a pleasant personality. It’s rare to see someone with your background being so down-to-earth.”I laughed. “What background?”“Some rich people love to act like they’re better than everyone else.”While we chatted, someone knocked on the door. “Is Hayden here?”The voice sounded familiar. I looked up and saw the outline of a woman at the door. I stood up and cautiously asked, “Mrs. Smith?”“Cassia?” Sure enough, it was Hayden’s mom. It appeared that my hearing was getting sharper.“Hayden went to check on some test results for me,” I said.“Oh, I brought him some soup.” Mrs. Smith came in, and Ms. Linden went to pour

    Mrs. Smith’s arrival had caught me off guard. The best thing to do was to make a quick escape.I was not the only one unprepared. Mrs. Smith was not ready either.I said goodbye to her, and Hayden said, “Mom, I’ll send Cassia off. Wait here for me.”“Oh, take this to Yulia,” Mrs. Smith replied. “I brought some soup for you and Yulia too.”“I’ll ask her to come get it later.”“You brat. You should take it to her. She—”“Mom, I told you before. Yulia and I aren’t together. Right now, I’m with Cassia—”Before Hayden could speak further, I pulled him away.I dragged him into the elevator, and he broke free from my grip. “Cassia, why don’t you want me to tell my mom the truth?”“Your mom isn’t ready to hear the truth yet,” I said. “Look at me. I can’t see, and I’m pregnant. I don’t want to scare her.”“I already told her. She knows, so she’s just pretending.”Maybe Mrs. Smith was blocking it out. I understood why.Everyone knew how great Hayden was. His family might not be as ri

    Zach had already proposed to Cecilia. How could I still have feelings for him?Hayden was acting a bit weird today. He seemed fine at first, but he suddenly changed. He had always been thoughtful. Did he not realize how vulnerable I felt?I had my pride too. How could I confidently tell Mrs. Smith that I was dating her son when I was pregnant with another man’s babies? I could not say that.So, I did not look back or explain myself. I followed the driver down the stairs and got into the car. Feeling bored and down, I decided not to go home. Instead, I went straight to Sophie’s coffee shop.As soon as I walked in, I could tell that something was wrong. Sophie was not there. I asked one of her staff where she had gone, and they told me, “There’s this woman who keeps coming to see the boss. No matter how much the boss tries to send her away, she won’t leave. So, the boss dragged her away and hasn’t returned yet.”A woman? I thought about it briefly. Could it be Lucy? Why had

    I stayed at Sophie’s coffee shop until evening. Hayden did not call me the whole afternoon, so I figured he had to be angry.Sophie offered to drive me home, but I said that I had already called my driver.“Why don’t you ask Hayden to pick you up? He doesn’t have a late shift today.”“No, it’s okay.”“What do you mean by ‘it’s okay?’”“I had a fight with him.”“What?!” Sophie sounded shocked. “How could you two fight? I mean, how could Hayden fight with you? He’s always so accommodating!”I explained what had happened with Mrs. Smith earlier. Sophie contemplated for a moment and asked, “Do you think Hayden feels that you don’t want to date him because you lied to his mother?”“How can I be honest right now?” I showed her my big belly. “I have my pride.”“Well, once Hayden calms down, you should talk to him.”“He seemed to be a bit on edge today.”“Is it that time of the month?”I did not want to get into that with Sophie. The driver had arrived, so I entered the car to go h

    “Okay.”I decided to go to the rehabilitation center. I had nothing to do at home, and my mom would feel upset seeing me touching things when walking. It was better to take some time to relax and recharge.My dad quickly arranged everything and told me I could go tomorrow.At night, my mom helped me pack my clothes. I called Sophie to let her know I would be at the rehabilitation center for a while.Sophie said, “Take me with you. I need a break too.”Before bed, I wondered if I should call Hayden to let him know I was staying at a rehabilitation center. After thinking it over, I decided to go ahead and call.However, his phone was off.It looked like Hayden was really upset this time.I was not sure why he was so angry that he turned off his phone.I sent him a voice message saying I would be at the rehabilitation center starting tomorrow. He still had not replied by the next morning.Sometimes, Hayden could act a bit childish.The rehabilitation center was in Lynx City, wh

    My life at the rehabilitation center had started.It was quiet here. There were only three rooms on each floor, and they were spaced out.Each room had its own bathroom, living room, bedroom, and even study. It was like a presidential suite with nurses and doctors.My room was made for visually impaired people. Everything had padding, so it would not hurt if I fell.There were also helpful features for people like me. I could go about most of my day without help.The nurses were dedicated. They could even help me brush my teeth if I needed help with that.I liked this place. I could zone out without anyone bothering me. Besides the daily eye therapy with the doctors, I spent most of my time alone.Sophie called to ask if I could get used to the place.I told her that I could totally get used to it. The air was fresh, and the nurses took me for walks. If I ever got tired and wanted to sit, they would step away and come back as soon as I stood up.“Have you learned any life less

    It was late at night, and everyone was too tired to do anything. I was heavily pregnant, and Sophie had no energy left. So, she stopped fighting back. She just collapsed onto the bed and pulled the blanket over her head.Lucy had already fallen asleep. She was young, and she could sleep through anything, including all our talking.Austin was as cold as ice while he sat on the couch. Since I could not convince him to budge, I gave him some water and went back to sleep.He could do whatever he wanted.When I closed the door, I saw him staring at the bed. The look in his eyes was soft and almost dreamy. I could sense love from where I stood.Did he really love Lucy? I could not believe it because I never thought he felt that way about her.I was exhausted, and my mind was all over the place. I went to sleep and had no idea when Austin left.The next morning, Sophie appeared at my door with a pillow.“If you didn’t sleep well last night, you can sleep a little longer. You’re

    “I’m not scared. With Austin to protect me, what do I have to worry about? But I think you’re pretty pathetic, Sophie. I show up, and you just give me your room. Tsk, tsk, tsk.” Lucy shook her head. “So pathetic.”Sophie simply stared at her. Lucy was nervous, but she was trying to put on a tough front.Right after, Sophie wore an eerie and unsettling smile.“Fine. You want to sleep with me? Let’s do it. After all, I’m scared of you.” With that, she went back into the room. “It’s time for a shower. Who’s going first, you or me?”Since Lucy had won, she gave me a smug look. “Sophie’s so easy to deal with.”“I don’t think you’ll enjoy sleeping in the same room with her as much as you think,” I warned.The room next door became eerily quiet after I returned to my room.I knew that Sophie would not hurt Lucy. She was not one to go overboard.I texted her. [If you don’t want to share a room with her, come to mine.][It’s fine. The bed’s big enough,] Sophie replied.Alright, then.

    As I approached Sophie’s room, the yelling got increasingly loud and made my ears hurt.I opened the door to see her dragging Lucy out by the ear. Lucy was screaming, “Sophie, let go! You’re a barbarian! Austin told me to stay here! Who are you to kick me out? This isn’t even your house!”“This is my house.” I stepped aside to avoid the chaos. “And I’m telling you to leave.”“Austin said I could stay!” “Austin isn’t the king of the world.” I sneered. “Why should I listen to him?”Before I could finish, Sophie had already dragged Lucy to the door. I opened it wide so that she could toss her out.Lucy clung to the doorframe like her life depended on it. “I’m not leaving! Sophie, if you kick me out, what will you do when Austin comes looking for me?”Sophie grabbed a feather duster that Mrs. Gibson had left behind and marched toward Lucy.She started screaming, “Sophie, what are you doing?! Don’t hit me! Sophie! Stop!”Sophie raised the feather duster up high. I knew that she wo

    Sophie completely ruined a happy moment.I looked at her. “You’re not still hoping for something with Austin, are you?”“Of course not!” she raised her voice. “I’m not a masochist!”Just then, Mrs. Gibson knocked on the door. “Ms. Cassia Freeman, Ms. Sophie Freeman, someone’s here to see you.”Who could it be this late?We went downstairs and saw Lucy at the front door with a suitcase.She simply would not leave us alone.My head hurt when I saw her.Lucy saw us and walked right in without taking off her shoes. “I told you Cassia and Sophie know who I am! Cassia, your housekeeper’s so rude. She wouldn’t let me in.”“Hey, what are you doing?” Sophie blocked her path. “Take another step, and I’ll get security to throw you out.”“Starting today, I’ll be staying here.” Lucy sat on her suitcase and grinned.“What are you talking about? Are you sure you’re not crazy?”I did not want to argue with her. “Did Austin kick you out?”Lucy was like glue. Once she stuck to you, you coul

    “Do you want to talk to Sophie?” I asked, even though I knew he would not say anything nice.As expected, he wore the usual mocking smile. “Talk to that idiot? No thanks.”He hung up, and the screen went black.I was so mad that I felt like my heart might stop. Austin never got angry or showed big emotions, but his calm sarcasm was enough to drive anyone crazy.Just then, Sophie ran over and held out her hand. She was sweating and out of breath. “Where’s Rachel’s water bottle? She’s thirsty.”I gave it to her, and she asked, “Who were you talking to?”“An idiot,” I replied.“Oh.” She ran off again without giving it a second thought.We ended up playing there until sundown. Rachel was all sweaty, so I helped her change in the car. Although it was already spring, it was still a little chilly without the sun.We headed home and invited Kingston to join us for dinner.He gave Sophie the mechanical kite. Our garden was big, so she could fly it anytime.We did not usually have gue

    “Let Bob go. Tell Zach to hang the thermos on its neck.”“Isn’t that a bit much?”“He told me that if I didn’t drink his soup, Bob could have it. So, what’s the problem with letting Bob fetch it?”Mrs. Gibson walked away with a troubled expression, and I continued building the sandcastle.Rachel suddenly looked up and asked, “Cassia, don’t you like that guy anymore?”“I don’t like him anymore,” I said.“Is he bad?”“He’s not bad. I just don’t like him anymore.”“You can like my dad, then. He’s handsome, and he knows how to make cheese pizza.”Well, my standards were a little higher than someone who could make cheese pizza.I was not sure what happened to Zach’s soup because I never saw it. His cooking was not that great, and we already had good cooks at home. Mrs. Gibson, Mrs. Ziegler, and Mrs. Harrison made amazing soups. They were from different places, so I got to try food from all over.As such, Zach’s soup was not needed.I never thought there would come a day when I

    “When did your head get so square?” I looked at the metal block for a while, but I could not see how it resembled Sophie.“This robot doesn’t have to look like me. The important part is its core. It can follow my commands, and Kingston said he’ll add my voice to it later.”“What can it do? A two-hundred-dollar smart box can already do things like turn lights on and off or flush the toilet.”“Tch, this is different. Apart from following my commands, it can also read my emotions. It’ll then play the appropriate music to improve my mood.”That sounded interesting. “It should be a mood helper instead of a robot.”“Kingston also mentioned that it has a special function if I get really upset.”“Will it explode into fireworks?”“Tch.” She rolled her eyes and hugged the robot. “I don’t know. He didn’t say.”Sophie seemed to like the gift.However, Kingston did not really give it to her because she was fond of it. He just happened to study this stuff.I was incredibly tired, so I turn

    “I think it’s great that he has his own principles. A lot of people today don’t have any,” Sophie interjected.It was time to change the subject. Everyone had their own views on such things anyway.“Let’s toast to those with principles,” I said to Rachel.She raised her juice cup in response. “Cheers!”“Alright, cheers.” Oscar and Ellie smiled as they clinked glasses with us.We finished eating, and Sophie had two glasses of wine. I did not allow her to have more. Kingston finally returned as well.He was not full, so he ate the leftovers.Sophie asked him how things went, and he looked up in confusion. “The head of the company whose tech was stolen came too. He claimed that it wasn’t their tech, but they’re working on something similar. He kept promoting it.”“What happened after that?”“Nothing. The police just let those two individuals go.” Kingston shook his head and went back to eating.The whole thing seemed strange. I thought about it, but I could not put my finger on

    After a while, Kingston came downstairs. He looked upset, so Sophie asked, “What’s wrong?”“Two people visited the company today to discuss a deal. They offered a high price,” Kingston said.“Isn’t that good?”“At first, I thought so too. But as we talked, something felt off. They brought some tech for the collaboration, but I realized that another company had just created it. They might have stolen it.”“How can they steal someone else’s stuff?”“There are lots of ways.” Kingston peeled an orange and gave half to Sophie before eating the rest himself. “I turned them down, but they kept trying to rope me in.”“Would that tech be useful to you?” I asked.“Of course. It would save us at least a month of work.”Sophie’s eyes lit up as she looked at him. Just then, Ellie brought over a plate of fruit and teased, “Kingston’s too stubborn. If he were a bit more flexible, he’d be super successful by now.”“A gentleman earns money the right way.” Kingston’s stubbornness was somehow
