Cassandra

Dylan wanted me to stay calm. He had done something I never would have thought of, since I had such overwhelming worries about Miles.

The fear of making mistakes and being unable to do anything.

I overheard his serious conversation at that time, which left me both surprised and relieved. That was how I got Anne, a professional nurse, to take care of Miles.

Anne was recommended by Doctor James, and that also made me feel more at ease.

I didn’t want to give up my responsibility to care for him just because there was a nurse watching over him. Almost all the time, I stayed close to Miles.

“Mom…” his voice was shaky and weak.

I immediately went over to him. “What is it?”

“Aren’t you working?”

Miles’ expression was so frail, it broke my heart. I think no mother would like seeing her child that way. Touching his hand felt cold. As I looked at Anne, she stepped back with a calm nod.

I knew that Miles’ condition was improving, but I couldn’t stop worrying if even the slightest thing

    CassandraMy head felt unbearably hot listening to their argument again.Sitting between them always put me on edge, afraid they would start another unpleasant fight. And as I was enjoying my coffee, the argument surfaced once more.For heaven’s sake, in this relaxed moment, I didn’t want to hear any arguing at all. That was why I decided to go home right after—to finally get some rest, but Sebastian followed me.“Sandra, are you going to move?”I knew he intended to keep following me. After briefly meeting his gaze, I ignored him again.I like this house. I really like the neighborhood, and my life is much more stable now. Miles has friends and goes to school here. With all of that considered, moving would be a difficult decision.In truth, I only said that to pressure them into keeping quiet and not making a scene around us.After making sure Miles went inside the house, I quickly turned to him, spreading my arms to stop him from entering. I didn’t want to deny myself the chance to

    SebastianAnd so, I immediately walked toward them with an uneasy feeling. That man always seemed to be trying to interfere with my time, an intruder who followed Cassandra wherever she went.They noticed my arrival. Still trying to ignore that man, I didn’t want to start a fight that Cassandra wouldn’t like.“Why did you come here? Do you want to go ice skating too?” Cassandra asked, trying to avoid making eye contact with me.At that moment, I wanted to talk about Nakka first, but seeing the situation—and that man trying to steal the opportunity, I quickly changed my answer.“Ah, yeah.”“Why did you bring Nakka, Uncle?”More than anything, when that question came from Miles, I was shocked and left speechless for a few seconds.I didn’t want the man trying to steal a head start to smile, thinking I was embarrassing myself and losing to him.Regaining control of myself, I answered his question right away. “Nakka was outside. I was walking around looking for you.”More than anything, I

    SebastianI had already spent my time working since last night, even though earlier I had enjoyed a wonderful Christmas Eve with Cassandra and Miles, taking photos together, photos I kept staring at over and over.Before the day even changed, Alden called me with a voice full of chaos. Those business people really were bastards. They tried to mess everything up on a pleasant Christmas day.My anger was overwhelming, I wanted to go there myself and tear their mouths apart. There were traitors within my family’s business.I was certain that some of them were still hiding, and no matter what, I would find them and give them a very severe punishment. Not only that, they deserved to be hurt again and again.Dragging me into trouble and keeping me from enjoying this time, absolute scum.The burden I carried on this peaceful day wasn’t over yet. Grandpa called me, so I didn’t have time to go home and ended up having breakfast with him and Mother instead.“Merry Christmas, Sebastian,” her voi

    CassandraI couldn’t help the heavy feeling weighing on my heart slowly fading away. A nice day like Christmas made me feel more at ease, and being near Miles, listening to him talk with Dylan, made me even more relaxed.He had just finished a case there, and I knew he had taken on many cases. All I hoped was that he was doing well.When the phone call ended, Miles got up from the sofa, stretching his body.“Mom, let’s go.”I knew that after talking with Dylan, he had become more excited to do other activities. Today he promised to meet Tucker, they wanted to play at Lake Asborn, which wasn’t far from here.We only needed to walk for about ten minutes to get there. Before we opened the door, the bell rang, startling me. Maybe they had actually come here to pick us up.As I opened the door, a large man in a black fur-lined coat stood there, holding a big gift box.“Sandra Astor?”I nodded.As the man handed me a slip of paper as proof of delivery, I realized someone had sent me a packa

    Cassandra“God, thank You for still granting me life, for allowing someone as broken as me to have a child like Miles. This Christmas as well, I am grateful because You have made Miles’s condition even better.”“God, I hope my life from now on will continue to improve and be filled with happiness.”I immediately rose from my kneeling position after praying, then sat on the sofa and gazed at the sky, snow falling outside the window of my room.After finishing all my activities today, I sank into my emotions. There was an understanding within me that I am becoming better, even though this year has truly been full of surprises.I have always tried to keep growing for the better, to endure, and to focus on my son and on the life ahead. At this time, I can do anything by relying on myself.It reminded me of memories of past troubles. I took a deep breath while closing my eyes.Scenes from the past repeating themselves…Something forced my body, making my hands tremble, tightening my breath

    CassandraJust by watching the snow continue to fall outside, I can already feel the cold. I know it isn’t as severe as before, but still, I haven’t given Miles permission to go outside.I hold his hand and sit in the living room, where the large Christmas tree glows with its decorative lights. The Christmas atmosphere still feels warm, even though it’s just the two of us.Miles straightens his clothes, a green sweater like a Christmas tree and a red hat. I’m wearing the same as him, making sure that we truly share the same happiness.The Christmas songs we play make the holiday atmosphere even stronger. Since Miles was not even a year old, he has celebrated Christmas with a wide smile. I still remember—back then, he peed on Dylan’s clothes, and everyone laughed at the incident.Now, it’s just the two of us. In front of the Christmas tree, we take photos. It feels a little different, but the two of us remain inseparable.Maybe trying to convince myself that this truly doesn’t affect m
