Chapter 121

After a quick chat with Cameron about our partnership, we just needed Mr. Howard to come to West City and sign the contract. Right then, Zach knocked on the door.He smiled as he opened the door. “Mr. Quinlan, we can go now.”“Go where?” I asked right away.“To Cameron Hill,” Zach replied with a smile. “It might be a bumpy ride, so you might want to stay behind.”“As far as I know, Yonder Trading isn’t involved in real estate development yet.”He smiled mysteriously at me and walked out.Cameron seemed really interested in that mountain. It was at a good location, and it had great landscape. Nonetheless, only a strong company would have the courage to take on this project.I could not stop Cameron from going. He had asked me to watch Rachel.She was too busy playing with her Lego to pay attention to him. Cameron gave his daughter a kiss and left.That mountain had a lot of potential. If Cameron Hill was developed, the excavation, construction, and engineering companies worki

Chapter 122

“Okay, let’s have some fun.”I had not visited the marine park in a long time, and it felt very different to come with a child.I held Rachel’s hand and ran ahead. It was a hot day, and Cecilia was slowly trailing behind with a sun umbrella.I should have known better than to bring her along. She was just slowing us down.Kids loved amusement parks. I took Rachel on the giant octopus ride and the spinning coffee cups, which almost made me throw up.Rachel was so happy that she laughed out loud. Most of the time, I found her to be too much like Cameron—too reserved and not very playful. However, she was just a happy child at this moment.After a while, Rachel said that she was thirsty. I had water for her, but she wanted something colorful. After some thought, I asked Cecilia to keep an eye on Rachel while I bought her some juice.When I got back to our resting spot with the juice, I could not find Cecilia or Rachel anywhere.I figured that they must have gone to the restroom.

Chapter 123

I acted fast and gave it my all.I slapped Cecilia so hard that she spun around and fell onto the couch.She was stunned. If I had not been tired and scared from the search earlier, I would have slapped her even harder.It was strange how things would always happen. Every time I got angry and acted out, Zach would catch me at my worst. This time was no different.He and Cameron walked into the medical station just in time to see me slapping the “helpless” Cecilia.One slap and I practically had her flying and landing on the couch. Her hair was all over her face.“Cassia!” Zach rushed over and pulled me back. I snapped. “Let me go, or else, I’ll hit you too!”He did not have time for me and went to check on his precious Cecilia.She was too stunned to move. I stood there and snorted. “One slap shouldn’t have knocked her out like that.”Cameron picked Rachel up, who softly explained what happened. “Cassia went to get some juice for me and told me to wait for her, but she…” R

Chapter 124

After that scare, I was really hungry. While Cameron and Rachel were playing, I bought a bunch of snacks. I ate as I watched them have fun.When they came back, I gave Rachel some fries and pizza. It was her first time trying them.“They’re delicious.” Seeing her bright eyes made me kiss her cheek.I noticed Cameron looking at me with even more interest. I touched my mouth and asked, “Do I have chip crumbs on my lips?”He chuckled. “No, but you have some mayonnaise there.” He wiped it off with a tissue. “I’ve never seen you so fierce before.”He was talking about the time I slapped Cecilia. If she had done something worse, I would have really hurt her.“You and Zach…” Cameron hesitated. He felt a bit awkward asking about our private matters.“Hmm?”“You two don’t seem as close as you did when you visited Spain the last time.”Even Cameron could tell. I did not want to hide it anymore.After I swallowed the pizza, I said, “Zach and I are divorced.”Cameron looked surprised. “

Chapter 125

Zach had returned.I knew that he was there for Cameron, not me.He was worried that I might take Cameron and Rachel somewhere else. He had not settled his partnership with Cameron after all.He said that Cameron was a businessman, but he was one too.I stayed put as Zach walked toward me under the bright fireworks.It reminded me of our wedding day. He had walked toward me under bright fireworks too. Everything he said that day was a lie.I could not even remember his exact words. It was almost like I had chosen to forget them. Perhaps that was better since they were just lies. Why should I remember them?When he reached me, I looked up and asked, “Is Cecilia dead?”He just stared at me as the fireworks were reflected in his eyes. They turned his eyes red and green.He did not answer, but the colors in his eyes were almost overwhelming.On a night like this, violence felt like the right choice.“While Cameron isn’t watching, you still have a chance to avenge her,” I sai

Chapter 126

Some men loved to show off their charm all the time. When Lance smiled, he was definitely attractive.Too bad he was interested in the wrong person.As Sophie kneaded the dough, she glanced at him and said, “Don’t waste your efforts. You’re not Cassia’s type. Her heart is with someone else.”“What about you?” Lance smiled as he took a sip of his wine. I had to admit that handsome men looked good even when they were drinking.Sophie slammed the dough on the counter, which made a loud noise. “You’re imagining things.”He really was imagining things. I pulled Lance out of the kitchen and said, “Sophie doesn’t like people bothering her while she’s making desserts.”“Aren’t you around?”“I’m different. We’ve been together since we were born.” I did not want to talk to him anymore, so I looked for Austin.I searched the whole house and finally found the birthday boy in his room. He was lounging in his chair and staring blankly at the garden outside. It was as if the noise from th

Chapter 127

I was struggling to find the right words. “I know, but—”“Don’t say ‘but.’” Sophie cut me off.I stared at her in fear.I could not fathom why Austin would do that, but I was not curious to know. I was worried about how Sophie felt. I knew friendships between girls could be fragile.Well, it was not just girls; it was the same with guys. They might seem close, but as soon as a girl got involved, even the strongest friendships could be affected.“S-Sophie…” I stammered.Suddenly, Sophie pushed the tray into my arms and squeezed my arm excitedly. “If Austin kissed you, does that mean he likes girls and not guys?”“Huh?” I was confused.She jumped up in excitement. “That’s awesome!”“Awesome…?” I watched her rush inside and crouch in front of Austin. “Hey, you kissed Cassia. Are you going to kiss me too?”My heart raced, probably more than Sophie’s. I hoped that he would treat us fairly and kiss Sophie too.However, he did not move even after we waited for a long time.

Chapter 128

Austin was taken to the emergency room, and we had to wait outside the door.His parents were both out of the country. To be more precise, it was his dad and stepmom. His mom died from depression soon after he was born. I heard that she felt guilty about his heart condition and eventually passed away.Later, Austin’s dad remarried. His stepmom was okay but not very caring since she was not his real mother.We were the only family Austin had.Sophie held me tightly and rested her head on my chest. “Cassia, I’m so scared.”I gently patted her back to comfort her, but I did not know what to say.“I hope he lives. It’s okay if he doesn’t like me or girls. All I want is for him to be okay.” she whispered.I felt sad and wanted to cry, but I could not.Lance looked confused. He did not know that Austin was sick.“He didn’t want to tell you, so just pretend that you don’t know,” I said.Austin had been through a lot. He had several stents in his heart. Sometimes, we would joke tha

Chapter 129

Zach sat down next to us and tried to reassure us, “Even though this came out of nowhere, the surgery isn’t too complicated. They only need to remove the collapsed stent and put in a new one.”“The doctor said that a transplant would be better,” Sophie muttered while she leaned on my shoulder. Then, she suddenly looked up at me and asked, “Do you think I could give him half of my heart?”“Are you serious?” Of course, she knew that was not possible. She was just really anxious. But if it were an option, Sophie would probably do it.My stomach growled loudly. I had not eaten all night, and with everything going on, I was starving.Even though I was not focusing on my hunger, my body could not take it anymore.I had even googled if pregnant women got hungry this early. The answers were all over the place and not very helpful.However, I was extremely hungry. I told them that I would go downstairs to grab some food and get Sophie a coffee.Zach insisted on coming with me. We walked

Chapter 130

I did not go home, and Austin’s surgery did not take as long as I had anticipated. It ended around 3 a.m.I began to walk over, but Sophie continued to sit there.I gave her a tug, and she said, “Cassia, my legs feel weak.”“Just rest, then.” I walked ahead. The doctor took off his gloves and said reassuringly, “You got him here just in time, and the surgery went well. He’ll wake up once the anesthesia wears off.”I sighed in relief and gave Sophie an “OK” sign.“But…” I always got worried when doctors said “but.” My heart started racing again.“His heart is very weak. If we can find a suitable donor soon, a transplant would be the safest option. We never know when this might happen again. If he’s alone, it could be dangerous.”“I understand, doctor.”Before Sophie could suggest giving half her heart, I covered her mouth. The doctor left, and she pulled my hand away. “Why did you cover my mouth? With modern medicine, anything’s possible!”“Can your heart regenerate? Do you t
