"How's Robert's situation doing? What are your plans?"
"We'll be going overseas tomorrow for a checkup to see where we go next."
"If you need anything, speak up about it. I wish you both luck."
Travis said that, then spoke up about something else.
"Sarah and I are getting married at the end of next month. I hope you'll come to our wedding then, Georgia."
"You're getting married to Miss Duran? Congratulations."
Georgia was a bit befuddled, and her mind went blank for a moment.
She did hope for Travis to find his own happiness, of course, but the news had been too sudden, and she hadn't expected it at all.
"Yes. Sarah and I are getting the wedding preparations ready. We were planning on the middle of next month, but Sarah has pretty high standards about the wedding details and we won't make it for a lot of them, so we pushed it back to the end of next month. I think I'd be happy to have your blessing at my wedding. If you're going overseas with Robert tomorrow, you should be able to make it back at the end of next month."
"All right. Unless it's something big I can't make it back for, I'll definitely attend your wedding."
As Georgia said that, Travis asked about something else.
"Sarah wanted me to ask you about the contract she mentioned last time. What are your thoughts?"
"I met with Gina Williams personally. There's some of her statements I need to verify for a while. If Miss Duran can wait, please have her wait until I clear up everything they're saying."
As Georgia said that, Travis spoke again.
"I've already sent a document to your email address. Sarah says that it's a happy thing to be married, and it's fine whether or not the cooperation goes through. She's overjoyed right now and planning on sending the list of all the research staff she'd promised you back then over. I just sent it."
Georgia was even more shocked now, and it was a happy surprise.
Sarah had asked to have her agree to the cooperation before giving her the list.
Now that they were having a marriage, she was probably so happy she'd even willingly give her the list.
"Thank you, Travis. Please thank Miss Duran for me as well. Tell her that I'm investigating a person called Gordon Williams and it has to do with the property rights of the island. You can put her on it too."
Both sides hung up, and Sarah, who'd been standing next to Travis, spoke up curiously.
"What did you talk about over the phone?"
"Georgia said that she and Robert were going overseas tomorrow. She promised that she'd attend the wedding if she could. As for the partnership contract, she's putting you on a person named Gordon Williams. Says it has to do with the ownership of the island. I don't understand it too well, but you probably do."
Wasn't Gordon Gina's father? Sarah didn't understand it too well, but she still said yes.
As the two finished, Sarah grabbed Travis' hand.
"You won't regret marrying me, right?"
Travis shook his head gently and took Sarah's hand.
"Maybe I was too fixated on the past before and couldn't see how good someone beside me was to me. Don't worry, Sarah. I'll cherish our marriage. Whether or not your disease is cured, I'll be with you for good."
Travis had originally decided to marry Sarah for pity and sympathy.
But now, he suddenly felt that cherishing someone beside him was a precious thing, even if it wasn't love.
All those years, aside from his grandmother and Georgia, Sarah was the only one who'd devoted her true heart to him.
Maybe he should try switching a way of life, and getting himself a family.
As Travis said that, Sarah showed a joyous smile.
When they went to bed at night, Sarah remembered the day she'd fainted, then been taken to hospital by Travis.
The doctors had run a preliminary check.
They said she had a tumor in her mammary gland. It was probably breast cancer.
Then the results had come out. The doctors were right.
Through the fearful process, Travis had stayed with her all along.
From inside the hospital, to getting in her room, to going through the checkup, the man had stayed by her all along, and Sarah, who'd kept it in, finally found her courage and spoke.
She didn't think she was going to live much longer.
So she'd girt herself and confessed to him.
Maybe on the slim hope that Travis would sympathize with her or feel sorry for her, she let out the wish that she wanted to marry him.
She'd said that on an impulse, and even regretted it afterwards.
But the threat of death gave her unmatched courage. Then even more unexpectedly-
Travis had said yes after she finished.
Having gotten this far, the two of them were preparing for their wedding now. And Travis was now living in her mansion, taking care of her every day.
Making her meals, and staying with her every day.
These days made her feel warm, and she cherished it particularly.
She felt some fear that she'd come to lose these heartwarming days.
But Travis had never gotten impatient with her, and devoted all his care on concern on her each and every day, drowning her in gentle pampering.
While she was thinking, Sarah found that her phone was ringing. It was her secretary calling her.
After taking the call, the secretary spoke over the phone.
"Ma'am, the hospital is having me tell you that your body check came out wrong last time. It's a benign tumor. It was a misdiagnosis. The hospital is very sorry and wants to apologize to you actively."
Sarah froze. Her first reaction wasn't joy, but fear that it would cause issues with her marriage.
She knew that Travis was kind and wouldn't leave her over knowing this.
But she was still afraid it'd get out, and spoke to the secretary.
"No need for the hospital apology. Just have them hide it. Remember, don't let anyone know about this. Only reveal the misdiagnosis after two months. Tell them that if they can keep this hidden for two months, I won't mind their misdiagnosis."
The secretary found it strange, but Sarah was the boss, and what she said went. The secretary complied.
Robert only woke at nine or so at night.
Just at that time, the kids were tired, and washed, then went nice and easy to bed. But they weren't sleeping yet, so Georgia coaxed them to sleep in their room with all sorts of fables and fairy tales.
Hearing the door open and seeing Robert come in, Georgia smiled.
