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

“Is he a man?”“Don’t worry. Our nursing staff is professional, no matter their gender. It’s better to have a male nurse for your situation. They’re usually stronger, so if your legs cramp up, they can help you get in and out of bed. Pregnant women often have leg cramps, and as your belly gets bigger, it will happen more often.”Ms. Xavier made a good point. It made sense for them to assign me a male nurse.“But why doesn’t he talk?”Ms. Xavier lowered her voice. “This is Mr. Ganes. He has a speech impediment. But don’t worry. He’s skilled at caring for patients, and he’ll take good care of you.”A speech impediment? I had heard of that. It seemed to be more of a psychological issue than a physical one.I did not judge people with disabilities. After all, I could not see.I nodded at the white figure before me. “Sorry about that. Ever since I lost my sight, I’ve been a bit paranoid. I always feel like someone’s out to get me.”The figure did not respond. Ms. Xavier smiled and s

I had a vision therapy session at 7 p.m. after dinner. The doctor would put magnetic patches around my eyes. Whenever current ran through them, I would feel slight tingling sensations. It did not hurt, but it was a bit uncomfortable.Hayden said that the treatment would be effective for me. Maybe it was just in my head, but after a few sessions, I felt the same too. Everything looked blurry in the past. But after the treatment, I could finally make out their shapes. The doctor said that it was a good sign. It meant I was slowly getting better.Mr. Ganes accompanied me to the session. I held on to his arm as we walked down the hallway. When we passed the nurse’s station, I overheard young nurses whispering. “He’s so handsome.”Were they talking about a show?I smiled and chimed in. “Got a new TV crush? I’ve been thinking about swapping crushes. Introduce someone to me.”They did not reply. Even with my blurry vision, I could tell that they were staring at me in shock. Oh, I

“There are still a few months to go. I haven’t thought of names yet.”I was bad at naming things. I named our pets, and if they could talk, they would probably complain about it for a long time.I figured that Eloise and the others had already chosen names for the babies anyway. After all, they would be taking care of the babies. So, I did not need to stress about it.After the vision therapy session, Mr. Ganes walked back with me.Just then, my phone beeped in my pocket. I took it out and saw a notification.A robotic voice said, “Hello, this is your reminder. Zach’s birthday is in one week. Is your gift ready?”I stared at my phone. In the past, I would be anxious about Zach’s birthday and prepare his gift days in advance.Most of my reminders were about him. I stood there and deleted them one by one.With each deletion, the voice asked, “Are you sure you want to delete the reminder for Zach’s birthday in three days?“Are you sure you want to delete the reminder to replace t

I was satisfied after I finished the fried chicken. I was not actually hungry, though. I just had a craving for it.After that, I sat on the terrace with my hand on my belly and enjoyed the fresh air. Mr. Ganes covered my legs with a thin blanket. Then, to keep me warm, he brought over a comforter and wrapped me up completely.“Do I look like a cocoon now?” I smiled at him.He was quiet, so quiet that I could not even hear him breathe.It was nice that he could not speak. Having someone by my side made me feel less lonely.“You’re so thoughtful. Your wife must be happy,” I said genuinely. “I like sweet guys. It feels good to know someone cares about you. By the way, my boyfriend is also a sweet guy,” I added with a bit of pride.I lay back in the lounge chair and curled up in the blanket. Only my face was showing.Suddenly, I felt like talking and sharing my thoughts.I looked up at the dark sky. “Are there stars tonight? There should be, right? Ms. Xavier said that the sky

He typed on his phone. “Didn’t you ask me to see if your eyebrows moved?”I was at a loss for words.It was late, and the cold wind felt like it was creeping into my blankets. So, I sat up in the lounge chair and said, “I’m going to sleep. I’m tired.”While I was looking for my shoes, he suddenly bent down and picked me up.This was not his first time carrying me. Sometimes, he would carry me when it was inconvenient for me to walk.My face was pressed against his chest, and that strange feeling of familiarity returned.I could hear his heart pounding.Weirdly, my heart started to race a little too.I knew that I should not think this way, but he really reminded me of Zach.“You kind of look like someone I know,” I said.He set me down on the bed and typed on his phone. “Who?”I contemplated for a moment and did not answer.In the end, I just lay down. Mr. Ganes was in the room next to mine, and I had a call button. So, if I needed anything or shouted, he would hear me.Th

I remembered that Zach had a sweater just like this one. In fact, I was the one who had given it to him.He did not wear it often because he usually dressed formally.Was this the sweater from me?I reached out and touched the soft fabric. It felt fuzzy, and there was no painful static electricity.At the same time, my phone rang.I extended one hand toward Mr. Ganes while I answered the call with the other.Sophie said, “Cassia, Zach’s with Cecilia.”“Are you sure?”“Absolutely. They were hugging in a car. My friend, who’s a private investigator, sent me a picture. It shows the inside of Zach’s car, and he’s hugging Cecilia. I would send it to you, but you can’t see.”“Oh, okay.”I was still reaching for Mr. Ganes, but my arm was getting tired.I hung up on Sophie and lowered my left hand.Mr. Ganes typed on his phone. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing,” I replied softly.“Are you sure? Do you feel okay?”“I’m fine. You should go to sleep. I won’t bother you anymore.”I turned

“I can see its color. My eyesight’s gotten a bit better these past few days. I can kind of see your face now.”“Am I pretty?”“You’re gorgeous.”Ms. Xavier laughed. “Your eyesight’s still not fully healed if you think that.”As I prepared to wash up, I asked, “My friend’s visiting today. If she stays late, can she spend the night?”“No one can stay, but for you? Sure.”My dad had shares in the rehabilitation center, so I could do whatever I wanted.Honestly, I was thinking about Mr. Ganes starting his shift at 6 p.m. If Sophie stayed, she might get to see him. For some reason, I just could not let it go.I trusted my intuition. After being with Zach and loving him for so long, I knew every little thing about him.While I walked by the lake after breakfast, Ms. Xavier came over. “Ms. Sophie Freeman is here.”From afar, I could hear Sophie yelling, “Cassia! Cassia!”She ran up to me with a bunch of bags and dropped them casually on the ground.“What did you bring?” I asked.

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
