Juna let out a long, thoughtful sigh, her face a picture of uncertainty. “It’s not that I don’t want you to get married. I just wish you wouldn’t rush into it.”
She looked away, fidgeting with her hands. “Maybe I’m just not ready for this news. It feels like marriage and kids were always something far off in your future, not right around the corner.”
Lydia smiled softly. “Trust me, I didn’t expect it to happen this fast either.” She tried to sound light, but her words carried a heaviness. She had never imagined she would lose her eyesight, or that it might be three years before she’d be able to see again. It wasn’t like she’d have nothing to do in that time, but so many things would be out of reach.
In order to make the most of these years, she had thought about getting married and starting a family now, instead of waiting.
“Even if you round up, you’ll only be twenty when you get married next year,” Juna said, counting on her fingers, as if wishing she could magically add a few years to Lydia’s age.
Lydia just shrugged. “If I’m going to get married eventually, it doesn’t really matter to me if it happens now or later. I’m just changing the order of things, that’s all. Everyone thinks differently and goes through different things, so of course we make different choices.”
If Lydia hadn’t lost her sight, she would have saved marriage and kids for later, something for the future. But with the way things were, it made sense to do it now and not have to worry about it later.
Juna went quiet, lost in thought.
She knew it was true. So much of this decision came down to Lydia’s blindness.
“Lydia, are you sure about marrying Connor? What if he never finds a cure for your eyes?”
Lydia couldn’t help but laugh. “If he doesn’t, then he’s stuck taking care of me for life. Honestly, he’s the one who should be worried.”
Juna gave an exasperated sigh. “Fine, fine. I just want you to be happy every single day, no matter what.”
Lucinda was supposed to go back to school the next day, but she really didn’t want to leave. She wanted to stick around and find the perfect moment to deal with Lydia. Now that Connor was gone, the urge was even stronger.
The more she thought about it, the more obsessed she became. Recently, she had found some information online about a group of assassins. Supposedly, they were the best in the world. If you had enough money, they could make anything happen.
She wanted to hire them. The only problem was the price, especially for something as serious as murder. She had some savings, but to make sure everything went perfectly, she’d need more money.

thank u!...
Olha a história bem boa só algumas coisas são chatas ( nesse tipo de história sempre troca as filhas pela a da empregada ou então pegam uma menina pra criar) pelo menos eles tratam a filha bem só enche o saco que até agora a Lucinda tá lá enchendo ! Fora isso tá bom Connor é um fofo a família dela a ama muito só Lucinda pra abaixar o nível do livro já era pra ter resolvido isso e fazer ela pagar mais tudo bem li um livro chinês que era parecido só algumas coisas diferentes ,ais mesma coisa tipo ela salvou o Connor no início lá ela salvava o avô dele , no chinês ela não tinha um irmão mais novo com os pais adotivos , a mãe dela tinha 2 irmãos e todos os avós estavam vivos mais história quase igual e tem coisas tipo o triângulo que lá TB tinha até a Lucinda que no chines TB ficou o livro todo aprontando só no final a família descobria e se livrava dela aí ela ia morar com o cara que ela usa pra disfarçar que não gosta do Connor aí depois ainda quase matava a irmã dele e a mãe dele que ele via como ela era...

Every chapter is missing a sentence from the end of every chapter. It’s frustrating to try guess what’s missing or said...
