“What?” He did not get into the details, so I was confused. “What happened to Sophie? How did she get hurt?”“She twisted her ankle playing basketball. It looks pretty bad.”“Basketball? Why was she even playing that?” How did she end up in this mess? “Where are you two now?”“We’re on the way to the hospital.”“Which hospital? I’ll head there right away.”Kingston gave me the hospital’s address, and I hurried into the car. “Take Lucy home. I need to get to the hospital. Sophie’s hurt,” I told Austin.“Let me drive you.” He opened the door for me. “Mr. Pepper can take Lucy back.”That worked, so I got into Austin’s car. “Kindness Hospital,” I told him.He drove at an incredible speed, and his car weaved smoothly through traffic.I glanced at him in the rearview mirror and could only see his eyes. They reflected the lights from the cars around us.“She just twisted her ankle. You don’t need to drive so fast,” I said.He ignored me and maintained the same speed. He only said

Kingston went to get Sophie’s medicine. Since my belly was too big to push the wheelchair, Austin pushed her down the long hallway. I followed them. It was already past 9 p.m., and I wondered what Rachel was doing.I gave Zach a call, and he softly answered, “We’re at my place, but she’s already asleep. I’ve carried her to the bedroom.”It looked like Rachel would be staying at his place tonight.“Sophie got into some trouble. I’ll be there a little later,” I said.“What happened to her?”“I don’t want to talk about it. But it was basically her own fault.” I sighed. “Give me your address.”“You know where it is. It’s our wedding house.”I paused for a moment and replied, “Okay.”By the time I hung up, Sophie and the others were at the hospital entrance. So, I walked over to them. Austin was putting his jacket over Sophie, but she sarcastically said, “It’s okay. The weather’s chilly, and you’re too delicate. Don’t catch a cold.”“At least I didn’t hurt myself playing basket

I looked at Sophie’s face, and it was slowly regaining its color. For some reason, I glanced at Austin, who was driving.He was focused on the road. However, I had a feeling that he heard everything we said and took it to heart. The neon lights outside were reflected in his dark eyes.Sophie poked my belly. “Cassia, are you even listening to me?”“I am. You’re so ungrateful. Who says that no one thinks you’re precious? Your parents, me, Bryce, and my parents all treasure you.”“I’m not talking about family. I mean romantic love between a man and a woman.”Without thinking, I glanced at Austin again. He caught my eye in the rearview mirror and looked away.“Oh,” I said absentmindedly. “Good for you.”“Cassia, I’m going to officially start dating.”“Go ahead,” I replied.When we arrived at my house, Kingston was already there. He picked Sophie up and carried her upstairs. Mrs. Gibson and the others were startled. “Ms. Freeman, what happened?”“She twisted her ankle and fractu

On the way to Zach’s house, I felt a little out of it.Perhaps it was because I had not eaten dinner, or I was shaken by Sophie’s accident. Either way, I felt dizzy and light-headed.Mr. Pepper asked, “Ms. Freeman, I have some cookies in the car. Would you like some?”“Sure.” I opened the package and slowly nibbled on a piece. “Mr. Pepper.”“Yes?”“Don’t you think Austin’s been looking worse lately? His face is so pale.”“Now that you mention it, yeah.” Mr. Pepper nodded. “Sometimes, he even looks a little blue. The last time I drove him home, he suddenly clutched his chest and didn’t speak for a long time. I was so scared that I almost took him to the hospital, but he said he was fine.”Austin’s heart condition was like a ticking bomb that could go off at any time.The doctors said a heart transplant would help, but finding a donor was nearly impossible. Even if they did, the surgery would be risky.It felt as if I was stumbling upon some kind of revelation, but it was not ye

I always felt that the food a professional chef made and the food I made were different. They were special in different ways.I never thought I would actually get to eat Zach’s cooking.“So, you and Rachel ate dinner at home tonight?”“Yeah.” He nodded. “I made buffalo wings. Rachel asked for them.”“You know how to make buffalo wings?”“I used a seasoning packet. It’s easy. Don’t worry. I only made them a little spicy, so she could handle it.”I finished the whole plate of pasta as he talked. When one was hungry, everything tasted great.After dinner, Zach refused to let me do the dishes, and I did not argue.If he wanted to take care of me, I was happy to let him.I went to the living room to watch TV instead. Reality shows were way more fun than dramas lately.The best part was that you did not have to get emotionally involved. All I had to do was watch and laugh. Then, I could forget about it.While I was watching a group of celebrities fighting over a pancake, Zach plac

I did not respond to Zach. It was not that I had no answer, but I just did not think it was necessary. Once he realized that I had always been genuine, he wanted us to get back together.However, I had already moved on, and I was not looking back. Us getting back together would not fix anything.After I washed up, I lay next to Rachel. My old clothes were still in the room. I did not take any of the clothes that I had bought when I got married. I never thought that I would wear them again. The pajamas were loose, so I could still fit into them.Suddenly, Rachel hugged me and whispered, “Mommy, you smell so nice.”Of course, no child wanted to be away from their mother. Unfortunately, I was not Rachel’s mother.I gently stroked her soft hair and soon fell asleep.The next morning, I woke up to Rachel caressing my face with her little hands.I grabbed her hand and said, “Got you.”She giggled. “Cassia, you’re so pretty.”It felt nice to hear that first thing in the morning

Rachel was adorable when she was sweet, but she could be unreasonable and stubborn too.At this moment, Zach crouched in front of her. “Tomorrow, I’ll help you with the castle all day. We’ll definitely finish it.”“Really?” Rachel looked unsure.“Of course. I wouldn’t lie to you.”“Pinky promise, then.” Rachel held out her hand, and Zach linked his pinky with hers.He was good at winning people over. Rachel had been dismissive of him, but the promise to finish the Lego castle won her over.Rachel wrapped her arms around Zach’s neck as he carried her to the car. Right then, I remembered a line from a movie. “There’s no lasting hate and no lasting love.”The love I once had for Zach faded, but my resentment toward him also disappeared.I decided to let it go. Love and hate were too complicated to dwell on.Mr. Dennis’s high school daughter was on winter break. So, after I dropped Rachel off at home, I asked them to spend the day together. Little kids loved hanging out with o

This morning, I had a meeting with Zach and the others. In the afternoon, I had a prenatal checkup. Zach insisted on coming with me. I tried to reject his offer, but he would not take no for an answer. He said that he was the father of the babies. Since he was so sure of himself, I did not want to argue. After all, he really was their father.I had been getting two checkups every month, and everything had been fine. The only issue was the occasional leg cramps. Right after my checkup, my leg cramped up again. Zach immediately helped me. “Are you okay?”“It’s a leg cramp. It feels like someone’s pulling on my tendons.” I described it clearly, and Zach looked at me. “I’ve never had my tendons pulled, but I can imagine that it must hurt a lot.”Well, that was obvious!He supported me as I slowly walked. Just then, I spotted someone. Every time I ran into her, I could not help but think the world was small. But since she was pregnant too, running into her here was not surpris

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
