My mom clutched my hand, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed.
Harry Lee froze in place when he heard this. ‘How could she be injured so badly?
Just then, the doctor in charge of treating my sister walked in.
‘You’re Quinn Sue? How can you be so plain? Are you really sisters?
‘No wonder your family is so desperate to save your sister. Forget it, this is your family’s business. Here’s the kidney donation consent form–sign it.
The consent form was thrown at me. I shook my head frantically, ‘I can’t donate–I’ll die!
Voices of condemnation rose around me again, and Harry, ignoring my protests, forcibly grabbed my hand and signed the surgery consent form.
I was immediately lifted onto the bed and pushed toward the operating room.
“No, Dad, Mom… please save me, I don’t want to die.”
“It’s just saving your sister. Why are you being so unfilial? Do you really need Mom to kneel
down before you’re satisfied?”
“Honey, please, I really can’t go into the operating room. I can’t donate anymore; I’ve already given you my kidney.”
Harry Lee looked at me with disdain and said,
“Don’t be stubborn; lying won’t get you anywhere.”
“Think about your sister’s future and help her. Your life is so ordinary; having two kidneys is useless. Donating one can save a future star!”
“It’s okay, Quinn. Don’t be afraid. I’ve already spoken with the hospital doctors. I will be with
you throughout the entire surgery to protect you.”
Harry Lee followed me into the operating room as the anesthetic was administered into my
body.
I didn’t even have time to explain that my constitution was unusual and that the anesthetic
wouldn’t work on me.
“Why is the patient still reacting? Can the anesthesiologist come and take a look?”
The chief surgeon looked puzzled and wanted to double–check.
But before the anesthesiologist arrived, Harry Lee came first.
“What are you all waiting for? Over there, Joy Sue is waiting for her life to be saved. Why are
you still hesitating?!”
“Do you guys even know what you’re doing? If not, I’ll do it!”
Harry Lee, who was also a doctor, snatched the scalpel from the chief surgeon and
immediately cut open my abdomen to remove my kidney.
Overwhelmed with joy at the chance to save Joy Sue, Harry abandoned me and rushed
straight to her operating room.
He didn’t notice that my wound had nearly stopped bleeding; my blood was almost completely drained.
There should have been two kidneys, but now only the one in his hand remained.
He didn’t notice that my wound had nearly stopped bleeding; my blood was almost completely drained.
There should have been two kidneys, but now only the one in his hand remained.
I lay on the operating table, my skin deathly pale, feeling life slipping away, ‘Save me…‘ The doctor beside me gasped-
“My God, the patient only has one kidney?”
“Why is her blood count so low?”
“Someone, come quickly! The patient’s breathing is weak, her heart is about to stop!”
The chief surgeon called out to his colleagues, but no one responded.
“I’d heard about her before–this woman has a heart of stone. She wouldn’t even save her
own sister. If it weren’t for her mother begging her on her knees, she probably wouldn’t have come.”
“A woman like that deserves to die. Don’t save her.”
As my body grew cold and my breath ceased, next door, Joy Sue was receiving my kidney under Harry Lee’s anxious gaze.
“Ha–ha–ha, the trash who refused to save her sister is dead–no more overtime for us, double
the joy!” a little nurse cheered.
I fought so hard to survive, yet in the end, I could only die alone on the operating table.
The cheers from the next operating room overlapped with the little nurse’s celebration
beside me.
Only after Joy Sue successfully passed the critical stage did Harry Lee belatedly remember I
existed.
He casually grabbed a nurse and asked, “Where is Quinn Sue? Has she been sent back to the
ward?”
The nurse was busy. “Don’t worry, as long as they’re alive, the hospital will take good care of them. Don’t disturb my work!”
Harry Lee finally felt at ease and devoted himself entirely to staying by Joy Sue’s side with
my parents.
That night, Joy Sue passed the critical stage and woke up.
Harry Lee and my parents held the awakened Joy Sue, tears of joy streaming down their
faces.
“Joy has made it through–it’s wonderful. Our family is together again…”
Joy Sue gave my husband a weak but sweet smile.
“I’m so happy. The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was you.”
“It was so close–I thought I was going to lose you forever.“Harry Lee held Joy Sue tightly,
almost as if she were the one he truly loved.
Joy Sue also embraced Harry Lee, both of them with tears streaming down their faces.
“Such a loving couple,” a nurse whispered nearby. “It’s couples like these that make people
believe in love.”

“So sweet. I really hope my husband will stand by me in my moments of crisis, too.”
Harry Lee heard this and instinctively wanted to correct her, but Joy Sue blushed first and
softly asked him,
“Will you really stand by me no matter what?”
Harry Lee immediately and solemnly promised, “Of course. You are very special and important to me.”
“But……”
When the two young nurses mentioned the couple, it finally reminded him of me.
“Be good and listen to the nurse, get plenty of rest. I’ll go check on things……
Joy Sue suddenly sensed something, jumped up, and grabbed Harry Lee, her face fragile and panicked.
“Please don’t leave, okay? I’m so scared–scared that if you go, I’ll never see you again. I’m terrified that your condition will suddenly worsen and you’ll die.”
Harry Lee’s heart softened completely.
“Alright, I’ll stay right here with you. I’m not going anywhere–I’ll stay here with you.”
While they shared a tender moment, the hospital caregiver was gossiping as he dragged my body along.
“Is this woman homeless? Why hasn’t any family come to inquire about her body?”
“I heard she’s a bad seed; even her own sister won’t save her.”
“I see. No wonder no one is asking about the body left here.”
“No one cares anyway. This body here is really just a nuisance.”
