DylanWhen Cassandra decided to come with me, I was thrilled. I thought of it as time for just the two of us, hoping that maybe it could even be called a date.After a delicious lunch, we strolled leisurely, letting the sunlight wash over us. Cassandra adjusted the sunglasses she was wearing.“Let’s go there.”She spoke cheerfully, pointing at an ice cream cart not far away.I realized she was holding my hand. She was being very close to me, and it felt wonderful. Under the sunlight, the way she walked with such energy made her wavy hair bounce and glimmer.Sometimes she brushed against me. Every time it happened, I wished it could turn into something more. In silence, I tried to control my thoughts, which were starting to drift into slightly naughty, indecent territory.What if someday I saw her naked? That would probably leave me frozen in place.I knew my thoughts were filthy at that moment. I mean… how could a man keep himself from thinking about the woman he liked without at leas

CassandraToday was a day that made me smile wide, when Miles finally came back home with a smile on his face. As always, he was so kind and warm toward everything. When he looked around the house and then noticed the lilies that had just bloomed, he went straight to them.“Hi, you finally bloomed.” Miles raised his hand, greeting it as if it were a person.I watched him doing the things he loved. The flowers he touched, the fragrance he inhaled, I knew he was savoring his life.Miles often complained while staying in the hospital, telling me how boring it was to be stuck in a room all the time. He also missed many things at home, like the puzzle he still hadn’t finished.A few moments later, he came closer to me while holding my hand.“Are we ready to go in?”It’s natural for a mother to make sure her child is happy. Right now, I’m doing my best to give him what he needs to smile. If he still wants to delay going inside and enjoy his time out here, I’ll let him.“Sure. Genna is alrea

CassandraDylan 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

CassandraI sat in that room as if trapped in a field of absolute frost. My head felt so heavy that I could only keep it bowed down.Every part of my body screamed at the knowledge that man’s sharp gaze was fixed on me. Perhaps he wished to crush me the same way he had done before.Those sharp, cold eyes. I pretended to be busy with the documents in front of me. I wasn’t entirely sure whether he truly saw me or not, because I had immediately hidden my face and now let my hair cover me.This doesn’t look too obvious, right?The conversations filling this room were like dry air choking my throat. The drink in front of me remained untouched, because if I dared to reach for it, it felt as though everything would fall into chaos.I tried not to be weighed down, and then I heard his voice.“Sir Aston, who is she?”Even though it had been years since I last saw him, ah… why did I still understand him so well? At that moment, the voice that sounded so friendly was nothing but a disguise, for

SebastianI still can't believe what I'm seeing, that she's still fucking alive.That accidental encounter made me see the face I've been longing for. I tried to hold myself back, but of course I couldn't.Her introducing herself as Sandra Astor made my blood boil. I couldn't take my eyes off her.She looked different from before, very beautiful and with a successful career. Sir Aston introduced her as a lawyer, just as she had wanted.I became more convinced that she was Cassandra. And that made me tense, my emotions rising.Doesn't she know that for years I've been acting like a madman searching for her whereabouts?I really searched for her and couldn't accept her death back then. She should have come out after getting my attention, but Cassandra... she kept herself in the shadow of death.Even after I finally accepted that she was truly dead, I still couldn't forget her; I searched for someone like her, and now I've found the real one.“Stop holding me!”I shoved Alden, who had
