Chapter 266

Author: Hardy Banana
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 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.

    “Lucy Grant is a fake name. What about her ID? Doesn’t she have one?”“Her ID is fake too.”“That’s impressive.”“What kind of comment is that?”“How else should I respond?” In winter, it got dark early. By about 5 p.m., the sun was already gone.We went inside, and Sophie said, “By the way, where’s your male nurse? You keep suspecting that he’s Zach. I want to see if he looks like him.”“The next shift starts at 6 p.m.”“Oh. I’ll stay here tonight, then.”Even though I did not really want her there, she had an important mission tonight.At 6 p.m., Ms. Xavier came in to change my sheets. “Why are you still here? Isn’t Mr. Ganes supposed to start his shift at 6 p.m.?” I asked.“I’ll leave soon.”“Mr. Ganes isn’t here yet?”“He’s changing.”I felt relieved. I thought that Mr. Ganes might avoid coming to stay away from Sophie.I had not given up yet. I knew that I was acting strange.After Ms. Xavier finished changing the sheets, she smiled and said, “Well, I’m leaving now.

    Sophie sighed and patted my shoulder. “You’ve loved Zach for so many years. It’s not easy to move on. I understand.”There was no way she could understand.We lay on my bed and stared at the ceiling. “So, what’s going on with you and Austin?” I asked.“What do you mean?”“I thought I told you to ask him if he likes you. If he doesn’t, just find someone else. Don’t drag it out. It’s not good for either of you.”“Whatever.” She snorted.I wanted to talk more, but Sophie had already fallen asleep.She could fall asleep anywhere, even better than me, a pregnant woman.At 7 p.m., Mr. Ganes came to take me to vision therapy.I rested my hand on his wrist as usual. Realizing that my suspicions were all in my head, walking beside him felt different.The hallway was long, and I smiled at him. “You know what? I almost mistook you for someone else.”He typed on his phone. “Who?”I did not answer, so he asked again, “Zach?”I laughed and said, “Yeah. He keeps coming back into my life.

    After vision therapy, Mr. Ganes walked me back to my room. The hallway was quiet, and his footsteps sounded so familiar.All of a sudden, I broke down.I stopped walking, and Mr. Ganes stopped too.I looked up at his blurry face behind the mask and asked, “Are you Zach?”He did not answer. The air felt heavy and uncomfortable.I felt like I was going crazy. One second, I thought he was Zach. The next, I did not.When I was with Sophie earlier, I was sure that he was not Zach. But at this moment, I felt that he could be.I did not know if I should trust my feelings or force myself to ignore them.I thought that I had moved on. I had already accepted Hayden, so why did every man I encountered seem like Zach?I wanted to touch his face. I could not see well, but touching him would tell me if he was Zach.Just before I made contact, I retracted my hand.What was wrong with me?Everyone kept telling me that he was not Zach, but I just could not let it go.Even if he was Zach, w

    “Cassia...” Sophie ran over and hugged me tightly. My appearance clearly scared her. “Mr. Ganes told me that got very emotional. What’s wrong?” she said with a quiver.“Where is he?”“He’s over there.”“Is he Zach?”“Cassia, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me like this.” Sophie held me tightly. “How could he be Zach? He’s just your nurse.”“Don’t lie to me.”“Why would I lie? What’s going on, Cassia? Do you love him so much that you can’t move on?”I thought that I had moved on. I really thought that I had.However, that feeling would not leave me. It felt so real that I started to doubt myself.I sobbed and leaned on Sophie. She held me and rested my head on her shoulder. “Oh, my poor Cassia. You don’t have to pretend to be strong. You were in love with Zach for such a long time. It’s not easy to just move on. If you really can’t, take your time. It scares me to see you like this.”I took out the Rubik’s Cube that Dr. Savier had given me and handed it to Sophie. She took it and as

    The next morning, Sophie tagged along for my checkup. After that, she had to leave because she had things to do.However, she looked worried and said, “Should I tell Hayden? I’m not comfortable with how you’re feeling.”“Please don’t.”“I know. If Hayden finds out that you’re always thinking about Zach, he won’t like it.”“Just go. I got through yesterday’s breakdown. I won’t keep losing it.”“But Cassia—”“Stop dragging this out. Once my vision therapy sessions are done, I’ll go back home.”“Okay.”After Sophie left, I sat in the doctor’s office. He looked over my test results and said, “Ms. Freeman, the CT scan looks good. The blood clot is smaller than before. By your next checkup, it should be gone.”“So, my brain is okay?”“There’s no structural damage.”“Then, it must be a mental issue,” I muttered. “How do you figure out if someone has a mental problem? What tests do you do?”“No, that’s not necessary.” The doctor smiled and shook his head. “Ms. Freeman, it might jus

    A soft breeze blew by. However, it was so quiet that it felt like I was the only person in the world.I knew that was not true. Mr. Ganes was still with me.Ever since I lost my eyesight, it sometimes felt like the whole world had left me behind.I sat there waiting and kept falling asleep due to the silence.Every time I woke up, I would panic. “Did I miss it? Has the meteor shower started? Make sure to wake me if anything happens.”Mr. Ganes used his phone to answer, “Go ahead and sleep. I’ll wake you.”So, I fell asleep again. Pregnancy made me so tired that I could nap anywhere.I even dreamed that Zach and I were watching the meteor shower together.In my dream, I felt torn. I had promised to watch it with Hayden. I told myself that this was not right. How could I watch it with Zach?I tried running away, but I seemed to be in a maze. No matter how hard I ran, I kept ending up in front of Zach.He felt like a curse that I could not escape.While I ran around in my dream

    My hand dropped from his face.Unless I had lost my mind and I was imagining things, I knew that I was right.“You’re Zach, not Mr. Ganes. You’re not talking because once you do, I’ll know it’s you. Zach, what do you want? Why are you here, and why did you kiss me? Why?” I yanked the blanket off and threw it at him.It landed softly at my feet.Without thinking, I gave him a hard slap. Even though I could not see clearly, I hit him right on the face.He did not even try to dodge.My hand stung, and the slap made my fingers go numb. This just confirmed the fact that he was Zach. If it had been anyone else, they would have fought back.I lowered my hand. Blood rushed to my fingertips and made my palm swell. It was as if it might burst out of my veins.I could not put my feelings into words, but I felt like such a fool. Since I could not see, he could mess with me however he wanted.Right then, it started to rain. I felt the tiny drops landing on my face.I looked up and could

    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
