Chapter 13

작가: Nameless
Austin felt a lump in his throat, and it made him feel extremely embarrassed.

"Austin, I don't want to end things on a sour note. We can end things peacefully," Cara said. "Instead of asking me why my love for you faded so quickly, why don't you ask yourself how you've been treating me over the past three years?

"You never stopped hurting me from the moment I witnessed you masturbating to your so-called stepsister's nightgown at night. When I was nearly assaulted by a stranger, you told me you were busy with work. But then, you immediately appeared at the station to protect Winter and bail her out.

"When I was literally on my deathbed at the hospital, you took my blood without my permission to save Winter's life. Don't tell me that you never did any of these things!

"Really, Austin Langford, how could you still be so shameless to ask me for forgiveness?"

Austin was shocked. A numbing yet excruciating pain spread in his chest, and he found it hard to breathe.

Cara glared coldly at

    Austin stood before Cara, his eyes filled with an intense pleading look. "Cara, please, I'm begging you. Don't marry him. Please," he pleaded.Noah immediately shielded Cara behind him and questioned in a hostile tone, "What, are you going to try and steal the bride now?"Austin ignored him and looked only at Cara. "Cara, I want to hear it from you alone."Cara didn't answer him, and Austin felt even more despair. He ended up dropping to his knees before her and said, "I don't mind if you don't give me a title. Just please, let me stay by your side."As soon as he said that, the rest of the wedding guests were even more shocked.Was the person kneeling onstage before Cara their usually calm, steady, and meticulous city mayor? How could he just publicly admit that he wanted to be the other man in Cara's marriage?Austin ignored the shocked whispers below the stage. He only wanted to hear Cara's answer.Suddenly, a flash of silver caught his attention.While everyone was still

    As Cara's due date approached, she decided that she wanted to give birth back in her hometown. That was where her parents were buried, and she wanted them to witness her lifetime of happiness with her.However, Cara's pregnancy was far from smooth-sailing. She suffered from morning sickness every day and kept losing weight as well.As expected, an emergency happened on the day she was due."We'll do our best to save her," the doctor said to Jessica, Noah, and Austin with an apologetic look.Jessica shuddered and nearly collapsed to the floor at the shocking news. Luckily, Noah caught her before she fell.Meanwhile, Austin felt his head buzzing loudly. He suddenly recalled a prayer place located on top of a hill on the outskirts of the city. Whoever managed to climb up all 100 steps would have their wish granted.He pressed his lips together and immediately left the hospital.There were exactly 100 steps leading up to the prayer place, just as the legend said there would be. The

    The blinding sunlight made Austin squint as he stepped out of the hospital.Moments later, a hunched-up figure lunged at his feet and gripped his pant leg tightly. "Austin… Save me…"The figure's voice was low and hoarse, like sandpaper scraping against stone. Austin looked down, and his pupil constricted almost immediately.It was Winter.Winter, the once haughty and arrogant daughter of the Langford family, was now dressed in tattered clothing and covered in festering wounds crawling with bugs and flies. Her right leg was twisted and deformed, and she looked like a stray dog who'd just had its spine snapped in two."Austin… I was wrong… Please bring me home…"Winter looked up at Austin as bloodied tears fell down her face, her stench overwhelming him.Austin gulped. The 20 years he'd spent doting on her clashed with the betrayal he felt, and it just kept tearing at his chest.Winter might have been his younger stepsister, whom he'd doted on and spoiled for 20 years. However,

    "Austin? Austin!"The voice sounded faraway, and it was so gentle that it made Austin's heart tremble.He suddenly opened his eyes and saw in the blinding light that Cara was standing right in front of him, her lips curved upward in a familiar smile as she held a beautiful baby in her arms."What are you daydreaming about?" she asked, stepping forward to hand the baby to him."Little Cupcake knows how to say 'papa' now. Hurry up and hold her!"Austin awkwardly held his hand out until he could touch the baby's warm cheeks. It was as soft as a cloud. The little baby didn't cry or make a fuss either and just stared at him with her huge eyes, reaching instinctively for his fingers.Her grip on his finger felt so heavy and real."Why are you still standing there, dazed like that? Go on and hold her. Don't drop her, alright?" Cara said with a playful frown.Austin held on tightly to the baby in his arms, her unique scent mixing with Cara's as they wafted into his nose and made his ey

    Jessica's scream was still echoing in the air when two figures dashed toward the staircase like lightning bolts.Austin was closer to Cara, and he quickly threw himself at Cara, grabbing her by the wrist with his right hand. However, the momentum was just too great, and he quickly lost his balance."Let go!" Noah yelled, crashing in from the side and trying to push Cara back to safety."No, Noah, it's dangerous here!"Austin then landed heavily on his back, but he refused to let go of Cara's wrist. Meanwhile, Noah tried grabbing Cara's other hand and fell forward as well.The three of them got all tangled up together and began rolling down the marble steps like a top spinning out of control.Austin kept cushioning the impact of the fall, taking the brunt of the force. Meanwhile, Noah did everything in his power to protect Cara's head the entire journey down.Cara was trapped between the two men trying to protect her and couldn't move at all. Instead, she was forced to listen to

    Austin was sent to the hospital right away, and the villa soon resumed its usual peace.One afternoon, at the table, Jessica frowned and asked, "Cara? I thought you liked seared salmon, but you haven't touched it."The fish fillet was still whole and untouched on Cara's plate.Cara shook her head and instinctively caressed her belly. She had a hunch about things, but she didn't dare to confirm it yet. She decided that she was just going to wait for Noah to come back with the test report.While thinking about it, the door was suddenly thrown open. Noah came flying into the villa like a hurricane, sweeping Cara into his arms and spinning her in the air. He was laughing loudly in such a giddy way that Cara could feel her eardrums quivering."Cara! I'm going to be a dad!" he exclaimed.Jessica spilled her soup on the table as tears gushed from her eyes. "Really? Wait, you're not lying to us, are you?"The entire household rejoiced and was filled with laughter.However, a split seco
