It was 3 a.m., and the world seemed extremely quiet.I was so tired, but I could not sleep. I wanted to keep Hayden entertained so that he would not fall asleep on the wheel. He still did not ask me why I wanted to leave in the middle of the night. He had given me a lot of personal space. Just because of that, I wanted to give my best to him. The roads were pretty empty. It would be the opposite in West City, where it would be crowded even at this time. Sophie and I went drinking at midnight once, but there were still a lot of people outside. Sophie said that it was harder to have personal space these days.However, I was terrified of being lonely. I did not like to be alone. Sophie was the same. Hence, we spent a lot of time together. Hayden then lowered my car seat. I leaned back with a blanket that he had specially prepared for me. As I looked at his side profile, warm light shone on his fair skin. I recalled the nickname that the nurses had given to him: The Shining K

“Do you really plan to hand the babies to the Gordon family?” “Yes.” I nodded. “Do you feel that I’ll regret it in the future? It’s not like I’m selling them. I’ll still be their mother, even though they’ll be living with the Gordon family. I’ll visit them often.” I knew how important the babies were to the Gordon family. I also knew that if I were to keep them, Eloise and Mary would not agree to that arrangement. However, I was certain that I would not engage with Zach on any other matters apart from the babies. I wanted to flush Zach down the toilet if possible. I did not want to be associated with him anymore. It was almost morning when we reached West City.“Do I send you home?” Hayden asked. “Let’s have breakfast. I know this famous restaurant in the area.” “Alright,” he said. “Where is it?” “It’s near Yonder Trading’s office. They open at about 6 a.m., and they usually sell out at around 9 a.m. Back when Zach and I had to pull all-nighters, we would have breakfast

After Hayden left, they started to approach me.My father asked in confusion, “Why would you want to come back so late at night? Do you know when the director called us, your mom almost fainted from fear? She thought something had happened to you!” “That’s right, Cassia. Yesterday, the doctor told us that your treatments were going great. Based on your progress, you’ll be able to see again soon.” “I can get the same treatment here.” I was extremely tired, and I yawned. “I just want to come home. Don’t you want to see me too?” “Nonsense! When I called you yesterday, you didn’t tell me that you were planning to come home. Then suddenly, at midnight, you changed your mind. We were all so worried.” “I’m fine, I’m fine.” I patted Oliver on the shoulder. “Help me take my bags upstairs.” Oliver held my arm. “Cassia, I can carry you up if you’re too tired.” “I’m fine. I’m pregnant, not disabled.” Oliver carefully supported me as I walked. “Be careful of the stairs.” “Alright,

My mother turned to look at me. “Cassia, what do you think?” “Just let her in. We’ve always been cordial with them. We can’t just push them away because they’re not doing well now.” “After Wilson Corporation ran into problems, we helped them out a lot, but…” My mother paused and sighed. A lot of the time, my parents did not like bringing up the Wilson family. All of them had similar personalities; they would only treat you well if they could gain something from you. Mrs. Wilson brought a lot of gifts with her as she walked in. I had to greet her before I headed to the hospital. I nodded at her and said, “Mrs. Wilson.”“Hey, Cassia.” She spoke dramatically as she walked over to take my hand. “Wow, your tummy’s huge now! Are you due in a few months?” “Not really. I’m having twins, so my tummy’s larger than usual.” “Ah, twins. The Gordon family must be very happy about it!” I smiled at her. “I’ll leave you guys to catch up, Mrs. Wilson. I’m heading to the hospital for my

The tables had turned. Zach had gone from being a desirable bachelor to an unqualified future son-in-law. The Wilson Family was so desperate to get rid of him. It was low of them to do that, especially since they were drooling over Zach just a while ago. The whole family was truly despicable. In the beginning, all our families had great relationships. However, after the Wilson family’s actions, our relationship with them soured. I pulled away from Mrs. Wilson and smiled as I answered, “Mrs. Wilson, not everyone likes to go back to the same person. Cecilia claims that she didn’t want to ruin my relationship with Zach. Yet, why didn’t she say the same thing when we got divorced? Her actions were appalling when she first came back to the country. You didn’t have issues with seeing clearly like me. I heard that to get back with Zach, Cecilia went to Yonder Trading and Gordon Corporation every day to see him. Wasn’t she trying to sabotage my relationship with Zach?” “No. You’ve mi

Hayden was waiting for me at the entrance. “Was something holding you up? I had to let the next patient go first, so you’ll need to wait a bit,” he said.“That’s okay. We had a guest at home, so I stayed to chat for a while.”Hayden took my hand as we walked into the hospital. Just then, a graceful figure approached us.Even though I could not clearly see, my sixth sense was super sharp. It was almost like magic. I smiled and said, “Hi, Dr. Lawson.”It was indeed Yulia, and she was surprised. “You can see, Ms. Freeman?”“Nope. I don’t need my eyes anymore. I use this.” I pointed at my forehead. “I’ve gotten myself a third eye.”Yulia laughed. “You’re the most cheerful patient I’ve ever met.”Did I have to feel like I was dying just because I could not see?Shortly after, Hayden accompanied me to the Physiotherapy Department for treatment.“You should get back to work,” I said.“I’m free since my shift’s ended. I asked Dr. Ford to stay a bit longer to check on you.”“Sorry ab

By the time I got home, Helen was already gone. I asked my mom what else they talked about after I left.She sighed. “Why even ask? Didn’t she make it clear before you left? She came here today for two reasons. One, she wants to get rid of Zach. Two, she wants to partner with Freeman Corporation.”I did not ask how my mom turned her down. She only allowed Helen to stay out of respect for their old friendship.That evening, I went out for burgers with Sophie. My mom insisted that I drink some herbal tea before leaving. Apparently, the burgers were “too greasy.” So, I showed up with tea sloshing in my body.Sophie was already there when I arrived. She handed me the menu, and I asked, “Am I supposed to sniff out what I want?”“Oh, right. I forgot.”“Just order whatever you like. I’m not picky. I need to use the restroom; my mom made me drink a lot of tea.”“Herbal tea before dinner?”“My mom’s obsessed with health.” I got up, and Sophie immediately stood up too. “I’ll go with yo

Sophie finally returned after a long time. She was out of breath as she plopped down in front of me.“Did you go hiking?”“I checked every booth for Zach, and there wasn’t even a guy who looked remotely like him. Some people even tried to get me to drink with them. Can you believe it?”“You didn’t hit them, did you?”“Why shouldn’t I?”No wonder she took so long. I had a feeling that Sophie would not find him.It felt like Zach had become a ghost that kept floating around me. No one else could feel his presence, except me.Sophie touched my hand and said, “Cassia, can you pull yourself together?”“Shut up. I’m fine.”“I need to use the restroom. I can’t hold it in any longer!” Sophie hurried off, while I searched the table for a spoon to drink my soup.I accidentally knocked the spoon to the floor, so I bent down to pick it up.It was metallic, and the floor was dark, so it was hard to see. As I felt around for it, someone suddenly picked it up for me. Then, he gently plac

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
