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
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 256
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
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 260
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

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
