Chapter 2
“Luke! You’ll regret this!”
My scream startled him, but he only paused
briefly before leaving.
I gasped, then was lifted by his security
guards.
“Mr. Harrison said you need another test
before donating. You’ll be released
afterward.”
I yelled, “This is illegal! Let me go!”
But I was powerless against them.
I was dragged to the operating room. When
يصح thedeeter
the doctor approached with the needle. I
tensed. He said. “Think of your mother. Don’t
resist.”
I smiled bitterly. The needle pierced me
excruciating pain.
I felt drained, then blacked out.
I woke up alone.
Eventually, a nurse came. “You’re awake?
Get some rest.”
I grabbed her. “Where’s Luke? Where’s my
mother’s body?”
The nurse looked troubled. “I don’t know. Ask
Mr. Harrison.”
く
I leaped off the bed, falling to the floor. Luke
entered.
He scooped me up and put me back in bed. I
grabbed his collar. “Luke, where’s my
mom?!”
“She’s at the funeral home. You can go
anytime.”
I tried to leave. He held me. “The doctor said
you need rest after the procedure.’
“I don’t need it!” I shoved him away, my voice
cold. “This is the last time I’ll donate. We’re
even now!”
I pushed past him. He grabbed my wrist.
“Don’t be difficult. Without the marrow, she’ll
die!”
I laughed. “Really? When you left me at the
wedding, did you think about my mom leaving
me?”
“She’s my only family!”
Luke looked at my red eyes, frowning. “I’m
sorry. We can have another wedding. The title
of Mrs. Harrison… I’ll give it to you.‘
دو
“I don’t want it!” Mrs. Harrison. What an
honor!
“Luke, you don’t think this will make me
forgive you, do you?”
I looked for remorse. There was none.
Luke sighed. “I’ll compensate you.”
Г
“Compensate? We’re separated by a life. An
eye for an eye, give me your life.”
He grew impatient. “Sarah, enough!
Sometimes, death is a release!”
I slapped him.
His head turned. A voice called, “Luke! Luke,
what happened?”
Lily, in a hospital gown, rushed over, pale and
tearful. “Luke!”
“How could you hit him?” She snapped at
- me. I sneered, “He deserved it. Can’t he take
a slap? Or do you want to hit me back? Go
ahead!”
Lalared at him. Luke siahed. Before he could
く
speak, I covered my hand and left.
“Where are you going?”
“None of your business! I said we’re even!”
I walked away. He started to follow, but Lily
collapsed into his arms, stopping him.
