“If something goes wrong, you can put all the blame on me,” I said to Hayden.“That’s not necessary.” He patted me on the shoulder, and his warm touch gave me some comfort. “Since I gave you my word, I can handle whatever happens.”Right then, Sophie’s voice came from outside the door. “Zach, have Cassia’s test results come in yet?”“Not until tomorrow morning.”Zach was standing at the door when it opened.He appeared calm. He had remained composed ever since Cecilia’s misdiagnosis.I believed that he had known about her lie all along.He might also know that I was lying to him.He nodded at Hayden and stood by my bed. Then, he looked at the hand that was resting on my shoulder.“Thanks for taking care of Cassia, Dr. Smith. I hope that once Cassia’s test results are in tomorrow, we won’t need to trouble you anymore,” he said.Hayden patted my shoulder once more. “I’ll head out now. I’ll come back later to check on you.”He walked past Zach and closed the door softly.I hea

Chapter 52

Zach went out and left me alone in the ward.What did he mean when he said that he would accept any result?Was he going to accept it even if my results indicated another misdiagnosis like Cecilia’s?However, I was not allowed to interfere with his plan to transfer the shares.He was making me choose. My decision would determine whether he handled things calmly or created a big mess tomorrow.I gave Mrs. Hudson a call and asked her to send me a photo of the alternative medicine prescription. Then, I forwarded the photo to Hayden.Before long, he came over. He looked at the prescription and said, “This is for stomach nourishment, and it’s quite mild. It’s suitable for anyone. Is there a problem?”“Zach took me to an alternative medicine doctor a few days ago. This is the prescription I received.”“This prescription isn’t useful for your illness. It’s just for general health.” Hayden put his phone away and looked at me for a few seconds. Then, he said something that made my heart

Chapter 53

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

Chapter 54

“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

Chapter 55

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

Chapter 56

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,

Chapter 57

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

Chapter 58

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

Chapter 59

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

Chapter 60

“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
