Chapter 1

Six months ago, my mom knelt on the ground begging me to donate a kidney to my stepsister.

Six months later, on the night before my wedding, my mom knelt on the ground again, pleading with me to give up my fiancé to her beloved stepdaughter.

My brother slapped me across the face. "Lily, how can you be so inconsiderate? She's dying, don't you know?"

It's okay. In two more months, I'll be dead too. That will make everyone happy.

On the eve of my wedding, Mom knelt on the ground begging me: "Lily, please don't get married yet. Let Lucas stay with Chloe for a while, okay? Chloe has depression, and her condition has worsened since she heard about your wedding... Please, I'm begging you."

I didn't respond. Then my brother suddenly slapped me hard across the face. He was furious, veins bulging on his neck from anger.

I looked at them with a smile: "So, anything Chloe wants, you expect me to sacrifice? My kidney, and now even my future husband - is that right?"

Mom's eyes were red and teary: "Chloe is still young, she... she can't live without Lucas. I promise you, once Chloe gets better, we'll let Lucas come back and marry you, okay?"

My brother grabbed my wrist: "Lily, stop being difficult. We're family. Isn't it good if Chloe can live well?"

Lucas knocked and entered the room. His expression was hard to read. He was still wearing the suit for tomorrow's wedding.

I could see the hesitation in his brow, but in the end he just patted my head and said: "Lily, wait for me to come back."

The three of them hurried out, leaving me alone like a confused clown. My traditional wedding dress and white gown still lay on the bed.

I looked at the medical report I had just received yesterday in my makeup case.

I thought to myself, it's okay. I'll be dead soon too. Then everyone will be satisfied. My donated kidney and my future husband - they can all be hers.
