I'm Glad We Met After Marriage Chapter 36
It was highly possible that Mrs. Wilson knew Cecilia was faking her illness. She did not seem sad at all.Her reaction was completely different from my mom’s when she learned about my illness.Ever since I started pretending to be sick, my mom had not visited me. She called every day but avoided talking about my illness and sounded extremely worried. I could not bear to hear her voice.That was how a mother would normally react.The look in Sophie’s eyes told me that she felt the same way as I did.The agreement was still on the table in the coffee shop. Sophie threw it in the trash, but after some thought, I decided to take it back out.“Don’t tell me you’re thinking about signing it.”“I need to talk to Zach about it face-to-face.”“You’re right.”This day had been so frustrating. I needed a good meal to feel better.So, Sophie and I went for buffalo wings. It was the first time I had to be sneaky to get them.We secretly booked a private room. I wore sunglasses and a

I jumped out of the car, and Sophie said, “You forgot this.”She handed me the folder with the share transfer agreement, and I took it.“Throw it in Zach’s face and tell him that you’re not dead yet!”“But he’s transferring his own shares.”“You’re still his partner.”With that, I entered the house. Mrs. Hudson was still waiting for me. She had made porridge and kept it warm in a pot.She helped me change into some slippers and said, “Mr. Gordon came home early today and asked why you weren’t back yet.”“Oh.” I then thanked her for helping me.“He went straight to his room when he got home and didn’t visit Ms. Wilson,” she whispered.I knew that she was just trying to be helpful. But when she said that, it sounded like Cecilia and I were waiting in our separate houses for Zach to visit us.As I went upstairs, Zach came downstairs with a cup of milk. Seeing him made me grip the folder even tighter.While we walked past each other, he suddenly stopped and asked, “Have you ea

When Zach and I stepped out, Cecilia was watering her flowers in her garden.I suspected that she had been waiting for us. She put down the watering can and came over. Then, she walked up to Zach with a sweet smile and started fixing his tie.“You’re wearing the gray tie today. I knew you’d pick it, so I ironed it for you yesterday.”The way she interacted with Zach made it seem like she was his legal wife and I was just a coworker.I was not going to let it slide. That was just how I was.I cleared my throat and said, “Cecilia, I’m not dead yet. Can’t you see me?”Only then did she seem to notice me. She smiled and said to Zach, “She’s sick. Why are you taking her to the office so early?”She appeared concerned, but she ignored me completely.“We’re not going to the office.” Zach probably felt awkward, so he moved her hand away. “I have an appointment. We’re leaving now.”“Drive safely,” Cecilia said gently. It looked like she was talking to her husband who was going to work.

Zach was there yesterday?I was still out of it when Derrick said, “Put your hand on this pillow. I’ll check your pulse.”With shaky hands, I placed my hand on the pillow. My heart was beating fast.Derrick had a sharp gaze. As he checked my pulse, he would occasionally glance up at me. Each time he did, my heart would skip a beat.“Are you feeling nervous?” he suddenly asked.“You can tell from my pulse alone?”He laughed. “Of course. When someone’s nervous, their pulse is quick and uneven. Don’t worry. Your condition isn’t that serious.”Zach stood next to me, and I felt a lot of pressure.Derrick appeared to be incredibly skilled, not like any ordinary doctor. It felt as if he could even tell how many moles I had.The pulse check seemed to take forever. Besides, the room was so quiet that I could only hear the ticking clock on the wall.Finally, Derrick lifted his fingers off my wrist, and I sighed in relief.He smiled and nodded at me. “Mrs. Gordon, please wait in the wa

After Zach dropped me off at home, he left. Mrs. Hudson came out to help me carry the bag of alternative medicine. Cecilia was still in her garden, and she watched me coldly through the fence. I even noticed a little jealousy on her face.Oh, Cecilia was jealous because Zach had taken me to a doctor.I could have shown off, but feeling guilty, I was not in the mood to argue.As I walked into my garden, Cecilia called out to me, “Cassia.”I stopped and turned to her. “What do you want?”“Alternative medicine can’t cure incurable illnesses.”She was incredibly mean. Luckily, I did not actually have an incurable illness, or else, she would have upset me even more.“Cecilia, ever since I was little, I’ve wanted to slap you every time I spoke to you. All these years, nothing has changed,” I said before going inside. I did not want to waste my time on her.Mrs. Hudson could not help but comment, “Mrs. Gordon, don’t be upset. Ms. Wilson usually doesn’t speak like that.”“That depends

My phone began to vibrate on my pillow, and it annoyed me. I answered it without looking. “Who’s calling?”“It’s me, sweetheart.” It was my mom. “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”I softened my tone. “Mom, are you still in Nepal?”“I’m back. I’ve received something wonderful from the priest. Come home tonight. Oh, bring Zach with you.”“What’s this wonderful thing?”“Don’t worry about it. Just come home early.”After the call, I felt even more dejected.My mom had traveled all the way to Nepal for some deity, even though she hated flying. Every flight felt like a small disaster for her.Sometimes, I felt like a horrible daughter.I packed up in the afternoon and headed home. I made no plans to bring Zach along, but I ran into him at the front door.“Did my mom call you?” I asked.“Yeah.” He closed the car door. “Have you taken your medicine?”“Yes,” I said, but I actually poured the medicine down the toilet.We went inside together. Sophie was there, and to my surpr

“Let Hayden handle it. He can tell your dad that you’re in no condition to have surgery.” Sophie grabbed my arm.“Don’t involve him any further.” My head throbbed. “He’s already helped us so much. I don’t want to ruin his career as a doctor.”“I just don’t get it. Cecilia is faking it too, but she’s doing it so well.”“She only fooled Zach, but I’ve been lying to everyone.” I flopped onto the bed and covered my head with a pillow. “One lie just leads to more lies. I wish I never lied at all.”While we were talking, there was a sudden crash outside. Sophie jumped up from the bed. “What was that?”She ran to check and saw that the little ceramic doll hanging on my door had fallen and shattered.Mrs. Clark quickly came over to clean up the broken pieces. “Please go back to your room. Don’t step on the shards.”“How did the doll fall?” I wondered out loud.“I’ll ask Ms. Wilson later. She was here a moment ago.”Cecilia? Could she have been eavesdropping on our conversation?Sophi

Zach lied to me. It did not hurt a little; it hurt a lot.However, I had always been good at handling pain. No matter how much it hurt, I never cried out.When I was a kid, I often got hurt. After playing with friends, I would come back home covered in bruises. But I would not cry out in pain, so no one knew. I would just hide and treat my injuries.Cecilia was different. Once, when we were playing, she fell and scraped her knee. She looked so weak, like she might faint. Zach quickly carried her into the living room. She sat on the couch in silence. But she looked pale and had tears streaming down her face. Her mother was panicking as if she was about to die.I did not even make such a fuss when I broke my leg.However, Cecilia’s pale and tearful face was honestly quite a pitiful sight.Sophie once said that if I did not speak up about being hurt, no one would ever know. But even if everyone knew, the pain would still be the same.As Zach iced my ankle, I did not tell him that i

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
