Toward the end of the day, I received a call from who I thought was Rachel.

So, I happily answered, “Hey, are you done with school?”

However, it was Cameron sounding worried. “Cassia…”

He rarely sounded like that. People like him, who managed a big company, always stayed calm. The only person who could make him that worried was Rachel.

I immediately thought that something had happened to her, so I asked, “What happened to Rachel?”

“I think she’s on her way to see you.”

“Huh?” I was confused. “Rachel’s on her way to see me? From Spain?”

“Yes, she’s been asking me since New Year’s to bring her to West City. I promised her that I would, but then, a few clients came to Madrid. I had to entertain them.”

“So, Rachel’s missing?” I started to break out in a cold sweat. “How do you know she’s on her way to see me? How would she get here? I’m so far away.”

“She left a note with messy handwriting. It said that she was going to Sommerset to find you.”

“But how could she fly alone?”

    “Who told you that you could buy a ticket and fly on your own?! Do you realize how lucky you are?! If anything went wrong, you could have died!” I yelled. It was my first time being so tough on Rachel.I had to be strict with her. Otherwise, she would not know right from wrong.“We’re staying at the airport until your dad gets here to bring you back!”She got scared, and her face turned pale. “Cassia, why are you being so mean? Don’t you like me anymore? Don’t you want me here?”“You should have talked to your dad about coming here.”“He always says ‘soon,’ but if I wait any longer, you’ll have the babies. Then, you won’t like me anymore!” she shouted and cried.I never expected her to think of all this. As she sobbed, Sophie tried to comfort her. However, I gave Sophie a sharp look, and she stepped back.Before she could say anything, I warned, “You might as well leave if you’re planning to speak up for her!”“Okay, okay, I won’t say anything.” Sophie covered her mouth and ste

    “My dad only cares about work, not me. He’s lied to me so many times. He promised that he’d bring me to see you for New Year’s, but he kept getting busier. If I never figured it out myself, I wouldn’t have been able to see you.” Her cold tears kept falling onto the back of my hand.It was hard to see her cry, but I could not let myself feel sorry for her.I pulled her arm off my neck and said, “Don’t give me excuses. You made a mistake, understand? You’re only six years old. You’re too young to travel on your own. You could’ve been hurt. I won’t forgive you just because you wanted to see me or because you’re crying.”“Cassia.” Rachel sniffled, and her tears continued to fall. “What do you want, then?”She made it sound like I was being unreasonable.Fine. If she refused to admit that she was wrong, I would just ignore her.I crossed my arms and looked away while she cried. After a while, she could not take it anymore and said between sobs, “Cassia, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.

    “So, are you saying we’re cheap?”Rachel had been on a flight for over ten hours and even had a layover. While Mrs. Gibson helped Rachel with her bath, Sophie said, “I have to admit that Rachel is really smart. She’s only six, but she flew all the way here to see you. When we were six, we were still playing with clay and wiping our noses!”“That’s you,” I replied with annoyance. “Just don’t say that in front of her. Who knows if she’ll be as lucky next time?”“You were harsh with Rachel just now.”“If I wasn’t, she wouldn’t understand how serious this is.”“Cassia, I think you’d be a great mom. How are you so amazing? You’re perfect at everything.”“Are you out of your mind?” I shot her a look. “I just feel that once the babies are born, you’ll be able to take care of them yourself. If the Gordon family tries to take them away, you can sue them and fight for your kids. I know you’ll win. Cassia, I believe in you.”“Go away.” I did not want to talk about it. “Anyway, don’t prai

    “Oh.” I glanced at Sophie, who was sound asleep on the couch. “She’s just exhausted.”After I ended the call, I noticed that Austin was still changing his shoes.Were they that hard to put on? Why did it take him so long?I walked over. “Need help?”“You think I’d let a pregnant woman help me with my shoes?” He pulled a small pill bottle from his pocket and swallowed two pills.“What are those?”“Vitamins,” he said. “Sophie’s snoring is so loud. I need all the brain power I can get.”He was being critical again. If Sophie were awake, they would be arguing.As I walked him to the door, I asked, “Sophie’s so likable. Why don’t you like her?”“Why should I?” he shot back.I had no answer. He was not wrong since feelings could not be forced. No matter how amazing Sophie was, some people would simply not like her.After a moment, I said, “Apart from you, lots of people like her.”“You mean Lance? If you weren’t pregnant, he’d probably like you too.”“Not just Lance. I set her

    He tiptoed into the room to see her. When he left, his eyes were filled with fatigue.He leaned against the railing and said to me, “Thank you, Cassia.”“You can leave her with me for now. She really needs someone to keep her company.” Cameron nodded. “Alright, thank you.” After some small talk, we went downstairs to have our breakfast. Mrs. Yates made lamb stew, and the dining hall smelled really good. Cameron took a bite and sighed. “I felt like I haven’t had a good breakfast in a very long time.” “Stop exaggerating.” I laughed. “Do you want to have some bread? Mrs. Yates is a great baker.” He said yes, so we each took a piece of bread and started eating. Cameron was looking down, and his long fringe was blocking his eyes. Some longer strands were touching the tip of his nose. He was tearing the bread into huge chunks, but this affected the texture. Hence, I took the bread from him and showed him the right way of doing it. “You should tear it into smaller pieces. That

    “There isn’t a reason why. I just don’t love him,” I said. “Who do you love, then?”“It’s none of your business.”“Cassia, Zach…”“I know. Even if he’s the last man on Earth, I won’t choose him. Don’t worry!” Oliver was repeating the same thing again. “Cassia, while I was on my morning run the other day, I saw Zach sleeping in his car. It was parked in front of our gate. Zach seems different now.” I looked up in surprise. “Are you trying to say something nice about Zach?”“Of course not. I’m just telling you what I truly feel.”He was definitely a different person. However, I had changed as well. I woke Sophie up for work, and her eyes were even more swollen after sleeping. “When did that jerk, Austin, leave?” she asked.“After you fell asleep.”Sophie rolled her eyes. “By the way, Kingston asked you to head over to his company today for a launching ceremony,” I said.“What’s it for?”“A robot.”“Hmm, I’m interested. What time is it?”“At 10 a.m.” “I need to work.”

    He looked down, and the soup was reflected in his eyes. I had no idea what he was thinking. However, I had a feeling that he was starting to give up. I did not think that he was doing all this because he loved me. He was just repaying me for everything I had done for him before. Unfortunately, he could only mimic my past actions. It was unclear if his intentions were as pure as mine. In the end, Zach left with the unfinished soup. One of Gordon Corporation’s heirs had willingly put aside his ego and made soup for me. Yet, I rejected him. The room still smelled like soup. So, I opened the window to get rid of the aroma. Then, I chewed on a piece of gum to get rid of the taste from my mouth. In the afternoon, Austin gave me a call. He invited me to the opening of his friend’s bar. “I don’t think it’s suitable for me to visit a bar as a pregnant lady,” I said.“It’s a chill bar. It won’t be noisy.” In that case, I would drop by and show some support. I picked Sophie up

    “It really is him,” Sophie said and stood up. “I’ll go say hi to him.”Two young women were with Kingston, so I stopped her. She stared at me in confusion. “What?”“Just sit down.” “Why?” She was really oblivious. “Just do as I say.”She sat down in bewilderment. “What’s wrong?” “Don’t you see the two young women next to him?”“Yeah, I’m not blind.”“Is Kingston pursuing you?” Sophie thought about it. “I think so. He’s quite attentive toward me, and he’s sort of hinted at the possibility.”I looked at Kingston and the two young women in the booth. A few other of their friends soon arrived—they were a mixture of men and women. I did some counting, and they seemed to be in pairs. Mrs. Hanson had constantly praised Kingston in front of me. According to her, he was a workaholic who was shy around girls. I had also hired someone to do some investigating. Kingston did not seem like the type to fool around, but that was just hearsay. It might not be the truth. Since we

    “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

    Sophie’s voice was shaky, and I did not say anything else.Her decision to get married was partly due to her parents and Bryce.As for the other half? I was not sure if she was doing it out of anger toward Austin.“Do you still like Austin?” I asked carefully.“Who’s Austin?” She turned over. “I’m going to sleep.”“Hey, don’t sleep here. You’re going to squish me.”“I’m skinny. I won’t take up much space.”Sophie did not say anything else, and I could not tell if she had fallen asleep.Maybe it was because the bed was too crowded with the three of us, but I hardly slept at all.I looked in the mirror the next morning. The dark circles under my eyes made it seem like a squid had sprayed ink on me.Sophie was already on the phone with Kingston. Their wedding was less than three weeks away, and there was a lot to do.My mom told me that after the wedding, Sophie and Kingston would live with her parents for a while. With Bryce gone, the house would feel too empty if Sophie moved

    If my aunt had not mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I was the one who had introduced Kingston to Sophie. At that time, I did not know how Austin truly felt about Sophie. I was worried that Sophie would end up like me from falling for the wrong person. I was not sure if that was the right decision after all.The atmosphere in the living room was lively. Everyone was eating fruit and drinking tea. Rachel asked me to watch a cartoon with her, so I excused myself and went upstairs. After the cartoon, I helped Rachel get ready for bed. Just then, I heard a car starting outside.I went up to the window and saw our guests were leaving. Sophie was supporting herself with a cane and leaning on Kingston’s shoulder. They were also holding hands. Just looking at her back, I could tell that Sophie was happy. I did not know if she was in love with Kingston or if she just liked him, but it was clear that she had moved on from Austin.After Oscar’s family and Sophie’s parents left, my

    My uncle gave Sophie a look, while Aunt Lauren quickly laughed and said, “There aren’t many men who don’t drink these days. That’s good. You can have juice if you don’t drink.”At the dinner table, Aunt Lauren kept piling food onto Kingston’s plate.One way to tell if someone liked their future son-in-law was by how much food they put on his plate.Sophie bit her fork and said, “Mom, Kingston’s plate is so full. I can’t even see his face. Stop giving him food.”“You can help him, then! You’ve just been eating.” Aunt Lauren rolled her eyes at Sophie.Suddenly, Lucy called me and asked, “Austin told me to go back to his house, but I went there and didn’t see him. Where did he go?”“Stop asking so many questions. If there’s a place for you to stay, just stay there.” I hung up.The atmosphere was joyful as dinner came to an end. My dad, uncle, and Oscar drank a whole bottle of whiskey. My uncle looked happy most of the time, almost like he was back to his old self.After dinner, ev

    I turned around, and Sophie was staring at me in her wheelchair. “What’s wrong? Who are you calling? Don’t tell me Zach messed things up again?”“Why would I care if he did? I’m not getting together with him.” I suddenly realized that I had not seen Lucy all afternoon. “Where’s Lucy?”“I gave her some money to go out. If she stayed here, how would I explain who she is? Besides, what if Austin showed up looking for her? That would be super awkward. Oh, by the way, Austin didn’t come to see Lucy last night.”“Oh.” Right then, my phone rang. I glanced down, and it was Austin.I quickly stepped aside and answered the call. His voice was so weak, like he barely had the strength to speak. “Hello? Were you looking for me?”“How are you feeling?” “I was dreaming, but your call woke me up.”“What were you dreaming about?”“I don’t like sharing my dreams with others,” he whispered faintly. His voice was so soft that it was hard to hear.Just then, Sophie spoke loudly from behind me. “C

    “Don’t listen to her nonsense.”Sophie always said the wildest things. I swear that she was going to be a bad influence on the kids. I almost wanted to smack her.By the time I woke up, it was almost noon. I washed up and went downstairs to eat lunch. That was when I saw our parents returning.The moment Aunt Lauren saw Sophie’s injured leg, her eyes turned red. She ran over and hugged her tightly. “What happened to you? I wasn’t even gone that long, and you’re already a mess!”“Mom, you’ve been gone for two or three months already.”“You keep making me worry!” Aunt Lauren cried. Ever since Bryce passed away, she had become so fragile. She could not handle the thought of something happening to Sophie.My mom tried to calm her down. “Cassia said Sophie got hurt playing basketball. Don’t worry. She’s always been a strong girl.”Aunt Lauren kept crying, but then, she started to smack Sophie out of frustration. “You’re already an adult, but you’re still so careless. Who’s going to w

    Suddenly, I felt as if I did not know Austin anymore.The Austin I knew was cold, both inside and outside.Sophie once told me that he was like a thermos. He was cold no matter what.Perhaps that was true for others, but he had the warmest, most loving heart for Sophie.I did not know what to do with his request. Austin’s fingers felt so cold in my hand, like they would never warm up.I did not even remember how I left the hospital. As Zach drove, I curled up in the passenger seat and pressed my face against the window.He glanced at me and nudged my head away. “Isn’t your face cold?”My heart felt even worse.Why was life full of sickness and sadness?Love seemed like a joke. When two healthy people met, their feelings were not mutual. But once they finally loved each other, there was cancer, car accidents, or other heartbreaks.Was this a TV drama or some kind of soap opera?By the time I got home, it was 7 a.m. The weather was beautiful, with the sun shining brightly.Th

    “There’s still another round of bidding for the project. You should stay in the hospital and leave it to your team.”“Cassia, you’re so bossy. You can control Zach, but don’t try to control me.” Even though he was weak, I still felt like hitting him every time he spoke.“Austin, when someone dies, they lose everything. If you don’t take care of yourself, who will?”“My body never listens to me,” he said softly. “If I can’t find a donor, should I just kill someone for their heart?”“Just stay in the hospital and wait for a donor. You’ll get one within three months.”“Even with a transplant, there’s only a 30% chance of success. That’s how bad my condition is.” He closed his eyes and looked tired.“At least there’s a 30% chance.”He remained silent, and I was having a headache from lack of sleep.I heard that Zach had arranged for a nurse to stay with him 24/7. I needed to go home and rest.Before I left, I told Austin, “If you try to leave the hospital, I’ll tell Sophie.”He i

    With that, I called Mr. Pepper. I felt bad for waking him up in the middle of the night, but thankfully, he lived in our house.He was still groggy, but he helped me downstairs after he washed his face with cold water.My legs felt weak, and Mr. Pepper tried to comfort me. “Don’t worry too much, Ms. Freeman. Mr. Jenkins is young. He should be fine.”However, his reasoning was not sound. Death did not care how old you were. It would just take you when it was your time.When I arrived at the hospital, Zach was waiting for me at the entrance.He held my arm and probably noticed that I was shaking, so he reassured me, “He’s in the ER. The doctor said he passed out not long ago. He took some medicine when he first felt ill, so it should be okay.”I looked up at Zach under the bright hospital lights. He took off his coat and wrapped it around me.I had left in such a hurry that I ended up wearing one yellow shoe and one white one.Soon, Austin was brought out of the ER and into a reg
