He was clearly showing off his wealth, so why did I suddenly feel sad?Maybe my pregnancy hormones were acting up.Somehow, I ended up going to the police station. On the way, Rachel gave me a call. “Cassia, when are you picking me up?”I had completely forgotten about her because of Lucy. I could only ask Zach to take Rachel to my house.Zach said, “I’m still blacklisted by your security.”Oh, right. He could not get past my gate. “Just watch Rachel for now. I’ll pick her up later,” I replied.“Got it. Don’t worry about her.”He did not ask why, and I did not explain.We were not friends or a couple, so there was no need for details.When I arrived at the police station, I saw Austin staring out the window.I walked over and cleared my throat. He finally turned to look at me.Maybe it was because he was so pale, but his eyes were pitch black—they looked like an endless and starless night.“The value of your jewelry is too high. You’ll have to drop the charges for Lucy to b

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

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 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

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
