All Chapters of Till the Flower Blooms: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The nurse cast a sympathetic look at Cassiopeia and proceeded to switch off the medical instrument before leaving to give the grieving mother some space.The moment the door shut, Cassiopeia felt like all her strength had sapped away in an instant. She collapsed to the ground with a deathly still look in her eyes.She remembered how tiny Anya had looked when she was born. She thought back to the time when Anya had first spoken and called her Mama, the time Anya had taken her first steps…Countless episodes from the past flashed across her mind. At last, the sequences of images stopped at the still of Anya lying on a cold operating table with her face completely colorless.Cassiopeia was filled with pain, but the tears would not fall.After what seemed like ages, she slowly got up on her feet. She held Anya's cold and rigid body in her arms and rocked her gently the way she did when she needed to get her to fall asleep."Anya, Mommy will take you away from this place."Every step

When Cassiopeia came to, she could still feel her head spinning."Cassie, you are finally up."When Lucas noticed she had opened her eyes, he held her hand firmly and kissed her."You have no idea how scared I was when I found you passed out on the floor. My heart almost stopped beating! Good thing you woke up."Lucas, who was known for being a merciless businessman, was showing an uncharacteristically vulnerable side. His voice quivered, and his palms were coated with sweat. His affection toward Cassiopeia would exasperate anyone who witnessed the interaction.All Cassiopeia did was turn away to avoid his gaze. She would never forget how Lucas was only concerned about Freya's safety when she was calling for his help. He hardly noticed her passed out on the ice-cold tiles.Lucas grew frantic. He had never seen Cassiopeia dismissing him like this. "Cassie, I just didn't happen to notice you were passed out, too. That’s why I saved Freya first."She had only been lying less than a

When Cassiopeia woke up again, Lucas was holding her hand tightly. She looked up and met his dark eyes."Cassie, why were you lying so still in the pool? Did you know how worried I was knowing that you would drown?"Cassiopeia jerked her hand away and remarked mildly, "That’s what you wanted, wasn’t it?"Lucas froze and seemed more hurt than ever. "I only did it because I needed something to make up to Liam and Freya. I never wanted you to get hurt. I didn’t think that you’d…"All of his frantic explanations did nothing to absolve him. In the end, he resorted to embracing her and apologized profusely, "I’m sorry, Cassie. I won’t ever hurt you again."Cassiopeia closed her eyes and no longer spoke.Over the next few days, Lucas stayed by her side almost all the time as if to compensate for the guilt he felt. He would bring her warm water, feed her, attend to her… He was very attentive to her needs.However, he would disappear for precisely an hour every morning and night. Cassiop

After Lucas firmly declared his trust in Cassie, he did not notice the flash of contempt mixed with envy that appeared on Freya’s face when he turned away.She immediately gathered herself and reverted to her usual mild and considerate form."That's good to know. I would have felt bad if Liam and I ruined your family. Besides, I’m a little traumatized by Liam falling into the pool a few days ago, so I would much rather not have it happen again."Her voice quivered toward the end and it seemed like she was afraid.Without thinking about it, Lucas took her into his arms to comfort her. "I promise you that something like that is not going to happen again. After today, Liam will become the proper young master of the Cadells. Nobody is ever going to think about placing a finger on him."Freya smiled faintly but made a show of hesitating before she spoke, "But…what if Mrs. Cadell is only temporarily tolerating him…"Lucas felt like he was obligated to take care of Freya and Liam out of

A divorce certificate?!Lucas felt his heart drop and was immediately engulfed by a wave of panic.He picked up the divorce certificate with trembling hands and opened it while clinging onto the last vestiges of delusional hope.When he read the name on the certificate, he teared up uncharacteristically."How could this happen? How could Cassie divorce me?"He staggered back a few steps in disbelief and had trouble standing up at all."This must be a fake certificate. I have never signed a divorce agreement! Take this and investigate. Find out who has the guts to forge a divorce certificate between Cassie and me!"His assistant was troubled by the request and hesitated for a long time before informing him, "Mr. Cadell, you must have forgotten this, but five years ago, after Madam gave birth to Anya prematurely, you had a divorce agreement drafted and signed it. You told her it was a symbol of your loyalty and that she has the right to divorce you if she wanted to…"The memory b
