Chapter 3

"Do you want to go to jail?"

All three of them immediately changed their expressions and rushed to stop me.

My parents, having no way to control me, could only slap their thighs and complain.

"Oh my, what sins have I committed to have such a rebellious daughter who not only disobeys me but even wants to call the police on me!"

Their voices were loud, attracting many patients.

The uninformed patients started pointing at me and cursing me as an unfilial daughter.

They even posted about me online for people to criticize!

But I didn't care. Looking at the family's vicious faces.

I pulled out my trump card.

"I have a better solution."

I suddenly spoke, my gaze landing on Rachel.

"I don't have to marry, and we can still save my sister."

My parents glanced at me sideways.

They pressed: "Stop being cryptic! What's your solution? Hurry up and tell us!"

I looked at Rachel meaningfully again.

Rachel felt uncomfortable under my stare and couldn't help but shiver.

I smiled coldly.

"The solution is to have Mom donate bone marrow!"

After speaking, I looked at Jade with a sincere expression.

"Mom is so beautiful, and Jade is appearance-obsessed, so she definitely won't mind. Plus, between mother and daughter, bone marrow matching rates are higher, making the surgery more likely to succeed!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Rachel's expression went blank.

Rachel kept backing away, waving her hands:

"That won't work! I'm not good-looking. Jade will definitely think I'm ugly!"

"Mom, how could you not be good-looking?"

I said with feigned surprise.

"When you were young, you were the most beautiful woman around here. Even though you're older now, you're still charming."

"If you don't believe me, I'll get people to confirm it!"

After speaking, I took out my phone and made several calls.

Before long, a group of people came to the hospital room.

These people were all neighbors from our community.

I'd contacted them beforehand, given them some benefits, and asked them to say a few nice words.

As soon as they entered the room, they surrounded my mother with endless praise.

"You're so beautiful. At your age, your skin is still so good, and you have such an elegant air."

"Yes, yes, I always thought you were a great beauty. You must have had lots of suitors when you were young, right?"

Wave after wave of praise poured into Jade's ears.

Her previously dim eyes suddenly brightened.

She stared at Mom with burning intensity, her face showing anticipation.

"Mom, I want your bone marrow. I want to become as beautiful as you!"

"You love me so much, you'll definitely agree to donate to me, right?"

Donating bone marrow requires gaining weight, eating excessively, turning yourself into a greasy fat person.

And the surgery carries certain risks. You might go in and never come out!

Thinking of this, Rachel's face turned even paler.

"Mom... Mom can't do it. Mom's health isn't good. Donating bone marrow could be dangerous."

"I don't care!"

When Jade heard this.

She immediately threw a tantrum, crying her heart out.

"Mom, I want your bone marrow! If you don't donate to me, I'll kill myself right in front of you!"

Just then, David suddenly spoke up.

He looked at Rachel, a sinister expression flashing across his face.

"Jade has spoken. Just donate."

"It's all for our child. Making a sacrifice is only right."

I kept sneering inside.

I knew exactly what David was planning.

In my past life, I already knew he'd been having an affair with a mistress.

He just hadn't dared divorce because of Jade's illness and because Rachel still had some assets from her family.

I bet he was hoping Rachel would have complications so he could legitimately be with his mistress.

Rachel's eyes widened in disbelief:

"You... how can you say that? I'm your wife!"

David's stern face was full of frost. He said coldly:

"So what if you're my wife? Jade is our daughter. She's still so young. Her life is more important!"

The man's tone was firm, without any hesitation.

I stood nearby and couldn't help but sneer.

It seemed this family would fall apart soon!

Even the people around them chimed in:

"Just agree. Saving your daughter is what matters."

"That's right. You can't be selfish and afraid of death. Jade is your daughter. What are you hesitating for?"

Rachel was surrounded by everyone.

She looked at David's emotionless eyes,

Then heard everyone's incessant urging, and the color drained from her face until it was deathly pale.

"No... I don't want to..."

The woman's face was full of terror as she mumbled.

"I don't want to become fat, don't want to donate bone marrow, I'm scared..."

"Don't force me... don't force me..."

Her thin body began to sway unsteadily.

A few seconds later.

The woman's eyes closed, and she fainted straight away...
