On our wedding day, he forced me to donate my bone marrow.
Chapter 1
My wedding day. My fiancé, Luke Harrison’s,
younger sister, Lily, suddenly collapsed. He
dropped me and rushed her to the hospital.
My mom, sitting in the audience, suffered a
heart attack at the sight. Nobody helped.
Everyone was just watching.
By the time I got to the hospital, it was too
late to save Lily.
Then, Luke called. “Sarah, where are you?
Lily needs your bone marrow!”
“Luke, we’re through!” I hung up and walked
away.
<
This time, I wouldn’t look back.
Five years ago, I saved Lily, donating my bone
marrow. Luke kept me around, saying he
wanted to repay me.
I stayed with him for five years. On our
wedding day, Lily conveniently fainted.
I begged him not to leave. Luke pried my
fingers off his arm. “Sarah, it’s a matter of
life and death! How can you be so cruel?”
He called me cruel. He didn’t see Lily’s
eyelashes fluttering; she was faking it!
My mom collapsed from her heart attack. I
screamed for help, but nobody stepped
forward.
く
They all knew who Luke’s heart belonged to.
His leaving made it clear: I was insignificant.
A waiter finally called 911.
Too late.
I stared at my mother’s body under the white
sheet. She lay there silently, and I couldn’t
cry. I was numb.
Luke appeared. Seeing me, he grabbed my
arm. “Sarah, you’re here! Lily’s having
another episode. Come with me for tests!”
I yanked away. Luke was stunned. “Sarah!”
“Luke, I don’t owe you anything. I won’t
donate.”
<
He didn’t expect that. His face hardened. “I’m
not asking, I’m telling you. Come with me!”
He’s a powerful CEO, always decisive and
demanding.
Before, I would’ve obeyed.
But now, a life separated us. I wouldn’t be
their walking bone marrow bank again.
I underestimated him. He summoned security,
dragging me to the ward for a full checkup.
My mom’s body was still in the morgue. I screamed hysterically, “Luke!”
“My mom had a heart attack! She’s gone!
And you still want my bone marrow? You’re
inhuman!”
“I will never forgive you!”
A flicker of surprise crossed his face. “What
are you saying?”
My eyes were red–rimmed. “Don’t believe
me? Ask around!”
“Everyone at the wedding saw it!”
Luke was silent, finally saying, “Sarah, she’s
gone. The living are what matters.”
“Right?”
I almost spat blood. How could he say that?
To him, nobody mattered but Lily. My sickly
mother was a burden.
L
Her death was convenient for them, wasn’t it?
I sneered. “I won’t donate. Nobody can force
me!”
My mom was gone. I wouldn’t beg him
anymore.
Luke’s eyes darkened–a sign of his anger.
He was about to explode when a weak voice
called out, “No need. If Sarah doesn’t want
to, let’s not force her.”
Lily, pale and weak, stood in the doorway.
Luke rushed to her, holding her close. “No,
you’re the most important. If she won’t, I’ll
find a way.”
Lily snuggled into him, giving me a defiant
smile.
I laughed coldly. “I won’t donate. Go ahead,
kill me!”
Luke’s eyes flashed. I didn’t flinch.
He said coldly, “You wouldn’t want anything
to happen to your mother’s body, would you?”
I froze, then rage surged!
“Luke, you dare!”
“Donate the marrow, and I’ll pretend nothing happened.”
He left with Lily. I sank to the floor, knowing
he would do it.
