I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 309
I did not know how many people Brent had saved, but I did know that many people had died because of him. His hospital is well-known for its obstetrics and gynecology department, but more people came in for abortions than for giving birth.One time, when we were eating, Brent sighed and said, “I’ve performed so many abortions that I feel like a killer.”I hesitated and asked, “Lucy doesn’t have a guardian and is underage. Will this get Brent into trouble?”“He has performed abortions for girls as young as fourteen. Lucy is seventeen. She can make decisions for herself. She can sign the papers and has an ID. It’s fine.”We decided to go ahead, but it still felt wrong. We went back to find Lucy.After searching for a while, we still could not find her. Then, a nurse came out of the restroom and angrily said, “What the hell? She’s smoking in the restroom! This isn’t a smoking area! These young girls today don’t know how to behave!”It was probably Lucy. Sophie got angry. “Cassia, w

Sophie had her friend look up Lucy’s background and send it to us.Lucy’s story was pretty simple.Her mom, Jane Lynch, had passed away. She had worked in a lot of different places, mostly ones where she used her looks.Her dad was unknown. He had never been in her life since she was born.She had no siblings and not many friends. She came to West City earlier this year to work as a model. It was unclear how she met Austin, but she seemed to have pursued him on her own.The file did not reveal much. The only clear thing was that Lucy had no one to take care of her. She was completely alone. She could either keep the baby or have an abortion.At just seventeen, having a baby would ruin her future.We sat in my garden. After reading the file, Sophie sighed. “No one ever took care of her. That’s why she turned into a troubled girl.”Sophie sounded almost sympathetic.Even though Sophie seemed tough, she was actually very kind-hearted and caring.“She’s kind of pitiful, being on

I was a little hesitant to speak up. He said indifferently, “If you feel that it’s inconvenient, I’ll find someone else to accompany her to get her abortion done.” Austin was basically admitting that the child was his by saying that. I could not see, but I guessed that Sophie’s face must be ashen. Austin had said so himself, so that was enough evidence that the child was his. Austin was always very cold toward others. There must be a reason why he was so concerned about Lucy. I did not know what to say. Sophie suddenly stood up and walked out of Austin’s office. I did not know if I should stop her, so I stood up too. Austin continued slowly, “She’s fine, don’t worry.” “Austin, you…” I licked my dried lips. “Don’t you feel that you’re…”“I can’t be seen with Lucy. I plan to take over Cameron Hill, so my reputation is really important. Sophie will be fine after being angry for a while. After her anger is over, get her to bring Lucy to do the surgery.” “You know that Sophie

She had already cried and ranted. She hugged me and swore through gritted teeth, “I won’t ever care about him again. I want to cut him out of my life! What a jerk!” However, after she swore that, she still got into action. She called Lucy after she got into the car and said coldly, “Send your location to me and stay there until I arrive.”I shook my head in disapproval. Sophie used to tell me that I had unconditional love for Zach. Was she not the same? We drove to pick Lucy up. She also seemed like she knew that no one would care about her if she continued being rude. Hence, she hung her head low. “If you don’t care about me, I’ll kill myself.” Sophie did not answer her. Instead, she gave Brent a call. “Hey, what do you think about taking another life since you’ve killed so many?” We took Lucy to Brent’s hospital and told her the plan while we were in the car. I said, “Even though you’re not eighteen yet, you’re already a functional adult. You should know what will b

We brought Lucy to complete the paperwork first. Before we left Brent’s office, he asked me, “Cassia, do I look old?”I laughed, “I can’t even see.” Brent was around our age. He was quite accomplished for a 26-year-old.After we completed Lucy’s paperwork and signed the agreement, she was ready for the surgery.She was very nervous. Her bratty behavior was gone.She tightly grabbed Sophie. “I’m scared. Can you accompany me?” “Get lost!” Sophie yelled. “I’m afraid I’ll kill you if I go in.” “I’m scared.” Lucy suddenly started crying. It was only then that I felt that she was truly a seventeen-year-old girl.“What are you afraid of? Didn’t Brent just say that it’s not going to be painful?” “Sophie, can you accompany me?” She turned to Sophie. “Get lost!” “Sophie,” Lucy started sobbing. “My mom died from an abortion.”“Stop lying!” “It’s true. My mom was having her boyfriend’s baby, but that man wouldn’t marry my mom. She had no choice but to abort the baby. However, s

After half an hour, Sophie came out of the operating room. I could roughly tell that her face was pale, as if she was the one who got the abortion. “Where’s Lucy?”“She’s still under general anesthesia. She will only wake up after an hour. Initially, they wanted to give her partial anesthesia, but she was too afraid and she was moving around a lot.” “Oh.”She sat down next to me. “Cassia, do you want to go back first? I think I’ll still have to wait for a while.”“It’s fine, I have nothing to do at home anyway.” I grabbed Sophie’s hands. They were extremely cold. We remained silent. We had nothing left to say. I was at a loss for words. I hoped my company brought some comfort to Sophie. I could truly empathize with what she was feeling. No one could judge a person in love. When you truly loved a person, you would lower your boundaries and do things that no one else would understand. Even though you clearly knew that you were wrong, you still could not stop yourself.

She had already made her oath, so it was too late.I sighed and left the hospital with her. Sophie was a woman of her word. Once she had made her decision, she would not regret it. I got Mr. Pepper to send her to the cafe. I asked her if she needed me to accompany her. She declined my offer. “I’m fine. It’s not a break-up. I already know how this one-sided love is going to end. It’s the same as you.”Why did she bring my past up when she was talking about herself? I sent her to the shop entrance, and Mr. Pepper walked her in. After a while, Mr. Pepper came out and told me, “Ms. Sophie’s looking okay.” “Alright.” Maybe it was like what she had said. She had already predicted the ending. A was just a matter of time before it happened, so she had mentally prepared herself for that. I went back home. My mood was low when I leaned my back against the car seat. I hoped Sophie could get together with Austin. Sophie had liked Austin for so many years, her efforts had to be rewa

Hayden’s hands were really cold. I shivered from the sensation. I was very relieved that I could not see clearly, so I did not have to see Hayden’s hurt expression. I took my hand out from Hayden’s palm and grabbed the cup again. The milk had cooled down. Sophie walked over to take our cooled drinks. She poked me with her elbow. “Say something. You should be more decisive if you want to cut it off. Don’t give him any false hope.” Sophie was right. I opened my mouth, but before I could say anything, Hayden said, “Cassia, I will let you go. I know you’ve tried your best.”“Um, I’m not a doctor, and you’re not a patient.” “It’s difficult for you to forget Zach, and it’s hard for you to accept anyone else. I was too optimistic.” He looked down. The breeze ruffled his thick, dark locks. It was my fault, but he was apologizing instead. Actually, it had nothing to do with Zach anymore. I just wanted enough time to get myself back on my feet after giving birth to the babies

He was clearly showing off his wealth, so why did I suddenly feel sad?Maybe my pregnancy hormones were acting up.Somehow, I ended up going to the police station. On the way, Rachel gave me a call. “Cassia, when are you picking me up?”I had completely forgotten about her because of Lucy. I could only ask Zach to take Rachel to my house.Zach said, “I’m still blacklisted by your security.”Oh, right. He could not get past my gate. “Just watch Rachel for now. I’ll pick her up later,” I replied.“Got it. Don’t worry about her.”He did not ask why, and I did not explain.We were not friends or a couple, so there was no need for details.When I arrived at the police station, I saw Austin staring out the window.I walked over and cleared my throat. He finally turned to look at me.Maybe it was because he was so pale, but his eyes were pitch black—they looked like an endless and starless night.“The value of your jewelry is too high. You’ll have to drop the charges for Lucy to b

“There are a few places.” He turned to look at me. “I’ll find out for you. What got stolen?”I showed him a photo. I knew what jewelry Mrs. Gibson had referred to. They were very expensive gifts from Mary, and you could not just buy them at any store. But if Lucy tried to sell them, she would only get a regular amount of money.Zach looked at the photo and nodded. “Got it. I’ll get them back for you.”“Bring me the thief too.”“Okay.”Zach acted quickly. After lunch, he took Rachel to his office, and I returned to mine. Before long, his assistant, Novan, brought Lucy in.She looked angry and acted as if she was not worried. She probably thought that I would not do anything to her.Anyway, Novan placed my diamond necklace and earrings on the table.Lucy was defiant, and she tried to sit in the chair in front of my desk. I gave Novan a look, and he quickly kicked it away. As a result, Lucy fell to the floor.“Ouch!” she complained as she got up. “Cassia, you—”Before she could

Zach helped Rachel with the Legos until Sophie came to get us for the pizza buffet. “What’s going on here?” she asked in surprise.“It’s exactly what it looks like.”“When did he get here?”“After 9 a.m., I think.”“Is Yonder Trading closed or something? Why is he so free?”I rolled my eyes and helped Rachel put on her jacket. “We’re going for lunch.”Rachel did not want to stop. “But I want to keep building.”“Have a break. You can continue later. Let’s eat first.”“Mr. Gordon.” She called me “Cassia” but called Zach “Mr. Gordon.” I wondered why.“Can you play with me this afternoon?”“Probably not. I have paperwork to do,” Zach said.“I knew it! You can only play with me for a little while. Adults only stay in my life for a short time.”Sophie laughed so hard that she could not stand up straight.“He only spent a couple of hours with you. That’s even less than a short time.” I tied her scarf around her and said, “I’ll play with you this afternoon.”“But your belly’s t

Benjamin was caught off guard. But then, he smiled and shook her hand. “Nice to meet you. I’m Benjamin Lowe. You can call me Mr. Lowe.”I told him, “Can you buy some books and toys, like Legos, for her? She’ll be around quite frequently.”“Sure.” He then glanced awkwardly at the soup on the table. “Mr. Gordon brought this in early this morning.”“Drink it or toss it. Just don’t bring it in next time.” I took Rachel’s hand and walked into my office.There was a couch and a coffee table in the corner of my huge office. Benjamin quickly returned with the toys and books. He even got a playmat, so Rachel could sit on it and play. He piled everything on the table.Whenever I was not busy, I would play with her for a bit and tell her a story or two. Most of the time, she would play quietly by herself.Rachel was sharp but also so sweet that she tugged at my heartstrings. For example, when I said that I would spend more time with her, she told me, “You should work. Don’t waste time on

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.
I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 436
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
