Chapter 3

I had wondered why Alex, who seemingly loved me so much he'd risk his own life for me, had suddenly started an affair.

It was because of her!

It dawned on me.

Now I finally understood why Alex had gone to such lengths to trick me into donating my kidney to her!

I couldn't bear to watch Alex and the girl's intimate display any longer.

I practically fled back home.

Once home, I sat on the couch, unable to calm down.

The girl's face kept flashing before my eyes.

Making me realize that this situation was far more terrifying than I had imagined!

My hands trembling, I pulled out my phone and called several people in quick succession.

Half an hour later, my parents, Alex's mother Anne, and his sister Amy, all rushed to the house.

"What's wrong, Claire? You called us all over so suddenly. Did something happen?"

The four of them sat around the sofa, looking at me with worried expressions.

I took a deep breath, looked at them, and directly told them about Alex's affair and his plan to trick me into donating a kidney to his mistress.

Hearing this, Anne shot to her feet, livid:

"That scoundrel! How could he do this to you?"

"Claire, don't be sad. I'm going to go teach him a lesson right now!"

My mom held Anne back.

She looked at me cautiously:

"Claire, could there be a misunderstanding?"

My dad also nodded:

"Alex, that man, everyone could see how much he loved you. How could he possibly be cheating?"

Amy, too, echoed in disbelief:

"Exactly! You're the only woman my brother has ever loved, since we were kids."

"He treasures you more than his own life. How could he possibly remove your kidney for some other woman?"

I knew they wouldn't believe it.

So I pulled out the photo I'd secretly taken of the girl when I followed Alex:

"What if he cheated with her?"

The moment they saw the girl's photo, the four people who had been so certain Alex couldn't possibly be cheating, instantly went pale.

"How can this be?"

"Why her?"

Anne murmured, her face ashen, her eyes filled with shock.

Amy's confident expression instantly vanished, replaced by a dazed look:

"So it was her… No wonder Alex would do something like this..."

My parents went completely limp, their voices trembling:

"It's over. Everything's completely over!"
