My mom suddenly hugged me and started bawling. I could not remember the last time she cried like this.She held me close, and I noticed her body trembling a little.It seemed like she had lost weight recently, probably because of all the worry I had caused her.As my mom cried, I saw my dad and Zach standing by the bed. My dad’s eyes were teary, but it was not from sadness.Zach looked even calmer.I gently patted my mom’s back until she finally calmed down and let me go.I wiped her tears with my sleeve, and she sniffled. “Heaven is on our side. We’ve always been a good family, and you’ve been a blessing to us. How could something so unlucky happen to you?”“Just get to the main point.” My dad cleared his throat.My mom wiped her tears again with my sleeve and smiled. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were easy to see. “Sweetheart, you’re not sick. It was a mistake, a misdiagnosis.”It was strange, but I suddenly felt at peace when I heard that. Maybe I had been wor

“Where did that wind come from?”“The air conditioner broke down at that time, but it was fixed later on.”“I see,” my mom said softly. “It’s quite a coincidence. It’s not really anyone’s fault.”“We still made a mistake. After this, our hospital plans to replace all the sample containers to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” Hayden sincerely apologized. “Mr. Freeman, Mrs. Freeman, we’re truly sorry. It was a mistake on our part.”The hospital director also apologized and said, “We’ll suspend that nurse and make improvements to the whole lab.”My mom was kind, and she felt sorry for the nurse. “Well, it’s not really anyone’s fault. The wind blew off the labels. I would’ve made the same mistake.”“Mrs. Freeman, you’re very understanding and kind.” The director was so moved that he almost cried. He reached out to shake my mom’s hand.“Let’s see what my daughter thinks.” My dad turned to me. I licked my lips and pretended to consider it for a moment. “Actually, it’s not a big de

We walked out of the surveillance room and stood by the window at the end of the hallway.Zach looked down at me since I was shorter and wearing slippers.“About the thing you mentioned yesterday, I’m fine with it,” I said weakly.He pretended not to understand and asked, “What thing?”Zach still acted clueless after he got what he wanted. But since I was in the wrong, I reluctantly answered, “The matter of transferring your shares.”“So, you’re okay with letting Cecilia join Yonder Trading just to protect your friend?”I remained silent. I had already asked Hayden to help me against his conscience, so I did not want to make things worse for him.I could not do that. Even though I was not perfect, I was not Cecilia.Zach looked at me for a moment and walked away.I felt down and frustrated as I returned to my ward. Meanwhile, my family was happily getting everything ready for me to leave the hospital.“We should avoid hospitals as much as we can,” my mom said. “By the way, wh

Suddenly, I found it really funny and started laughing. I continued as I entered the car. Even after I buckled my seatbelt, I kept laughing so hard that I ended up lying down on the seat.Cecilia could not stand my laughter and hung up.I almost could not breathe. I finally stopped laughing after Zach’s car left the parking lot and turned a corner.Then, he handed me the share transfer agreement that required my signature. I flipped through it and saw Cecilia’s name. “Is it really that urgent?” I asked unhappily.“Just sign it. It’s not a divorce agreement.”I looked at him. “Isn’t that just a matter of time?”“At least, not right now.”Right, Cecilia was not sick anymore. So, Zach had no reason to divorce me to be with her.Before I signed, I made one request.I uncapped the pen with my mouth and muttered, “Get Cecilia to move out.”I knew that he heard me. I gave him enough time to think about it. He had until we got home.It did not take long for him to decide and say,

I invited Sophie over for buffalo wings and gave Hayden a call.He sounded like his usual self and even seemed relaxed. “Are you home?”“I heard that you got suspended.”“Yes,” he said as if it was nothing serious.“Hayden—” I started, but he cut me off. “When I agreed to this, I was ready for anything. I’m an adult, and I know what I’m doing.”The more he said, the more uneasy I felt.He laughed and said, “Why don’t you invite me to dinner, then?”“Come over and have buffalo wings.”He hesitated. “Will I see Zach?”“Don’t tell me you’re scared of him.”“I’m worried that I might hit him.” Hayden sneered. “I don’t get why he likes Cecilia. If I were him, I’d choose you.”“Too bad. You’re not him.”That evening, I waited for him at the garden gate. Sophie peeked around next door, and I pulled her inside. “What are you looking at? You’re acting like a thief.”“Where’s that woman?”“She moved out.”“Really?” Sophie was happy. “What made her change her mind?”“I made a deal

Hayden had brought some good wine. While I did not care much about wine, Sophie knew a lot about it.I learned from her and swirled the wine in my glass. Sophie said I should not swirl it randomly. I had to follow a certain rhythm so that the wine coated the inside of the glass evenly. This helped me to see how the wine clung to the glass.The wine’s taste depended on how much extract it had and how balanced the glycerol, alcohol, and sugar were. When these components were just right, the wine tasted good.I could not really tell if a wine was good or bad. Sophie said that I might as well drink cheap wine since I would not notice the difference. Even so, I liked how the wine dripped down my glass after a swirl. It was called “wine tears.”I found it quite poetic. It looked like the wine was crying, even though it was just the drinker swirling it.According to Sophie, it was also called, “wine legs,” but that was not as poetic as “wine tears.”I preferred the latter because it m

Austin frowned at me. “What?”He had no idea about the whole thing. I had not told him. If I had, someone as principled as him would have been really angry with us.“Cassia’s stomach ulcer is healing, so it’s like she’s returned from the brink of death,” Sophie said with an awkward laugh.I knew that I could not keep it from Austin forever. He would find out eventually, and I knew what he would say.He would tell me that loving someone too much and doing everything for them would leave me with nothing but more disappointment.I was already completely disheartened. I caused this whole drama. I felt like a fool for coming up with this story. Zach knew all along.He found out that night when I had buffalo wings. He took me to an alternative medicine doctor just to confirm it.Yet, he did not expose me. He waited for the right moment to negotiate.I loved him wholeheartedly, but he schemed against me.I wanted to cry, but if I did, things would get even worse.So, under the inf

“I asked you a question earlier, and you still haven’t answered. Do you like me or not?”He probably did. He had gone against his principles for me and even gotten himself suspended. I was not sure if it would affect his career in the future.He had sacrificed so much for me. It was not worth it.He gently patted my hand. “You’re drunk. Go back to your seat.”I asked because I was drunk!Once I was sober, I would not have the courage to ask.I refused to let him go. “Answer me. I’m not leaving if you don’t.”“What’s the point of answering?”“If you like me, I’ll break up with Zach and be with you.” Hayden was handsome and nice to me. How was he any worse than Zach?So, why should I be stubborn? There were other men out there.Just thinking about it made me happy. My love for Zach had been unrequited. If I got with Hayden, our love would be mutual.I did not even know what it was like to be loved and cared for.I shook his shoulders. “Hey, answer me. If you don’t, I’ll assum

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
