Chapter 1
As the true daughter, I was asked to donate a kidney to the adopted daughter.
I pulled out my cancer diagnosis: "I'm sick, I can't donate."
My eldest brother, Alex, flung the diagnosis in my face. "Liar! Do you know falsifying hospital documents is illegal?"
My second brother, Ryan, his eyes red, clamped onto my wrist. "I know you're jealous of Serena. Are you really going to let her die just to win favor?"
My mother, Eleanor, cried, cursing me for being cold-blooded. "Serena's dying! What's wrong with giving her a kidney?!"
My father, Robert, shattered my last shred of hope with a slap. "Your life's only value is to save Serena. Don't be ungrateful."
After being thrown out of the house, I swallowed a massive dose of sleeping pills, lying in bed, calmly waiting for death.
But the Cancer Research Institute called me:
"Miss Davies, why did you suddenly request to stop the drug clinical trial?"
I sighed, defeated. "I'm sorry, I'm a little busy right now."
"Can we talk tomorrow?"
